President Bola Tinubu has mourned the death of Sheikh Abdul-Hafeez Aṣhamu Abou, Baba Adinni of Lagos and Chairman of the Executive Council of Lagos Central Mosque.
Special Adviser to the President on Media & Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale stated this in a statement on Wednesday.
He said the president received the news of Sheikh Abou’s demise with “a heavy heart”.
“President Tinubu condoles with Baba’s family, the Muslim community in Lagos, as well as the Lagos State Government over this very sad loss.
“The President celebrates the inspiring legacy of service, duty, and sacrifice of Baba, who passed away at 100 years old, noting his extraordinary contributions to the Muslim Ummah, Lagos State, and beyond,” the statement read in part.
The president said, “Baba dedicated his life to the service of the people. He lived a full life guided by the highest and noblest moral codes. He was a fine example for all of us. He will be sorely missed. We should take solace in Baba’s legacy and uphold his values of honesty, dignity, and sacrifice.”
Tinubu prayed that Almighty Allah grant Baba the highest station in Al-Jannah Firdaus.
