Governor Abdullahi Sule has commiserated with former Deputy Governor Silas Agara over the death of his wife, Jummai Agara.

In a statement on Wednesday in Lafia, Mr Sule urged the former deputy to take solace in God over the unfortunate incident.

“I am saddened by the news of the demise of Mrs Jummai Agara, the beloved wife of our former Deputy Governor, His Excellency Silas Agara.

“The loss of life anyway is painful even more so is the death of a partner who had provided support, care and love to her family and wherever she found herself.

“She will be sorely missed,” said the Nasarawa governor.

The governor also prayed to God to forgive the shortcomings and for the repose of the soul of the ex-deputy governor’s wife.

“I, on behalf of my family and the good people of our state, wholeheartedly commiserate with His Excellency Silas Agara and the rest of the family.

“Sir, I urge you to take solace in the fond memories and the worthy life Jummai lived.

“My condolences to the entire people of Akwanga Local Government Area in particular and the state as a whole,” he said.

Ms Agara died on June 25, 2024, at a hospital in Abuja following a protracted illness.
