Although he did not have the privilege of knowing the deceased personally, Governor Mutfwang highlighted the numerous testimonies that paint her as an extraordinary woman of integrity, compassion, and humility. Her kindness, generosity, and empathy left an indelible mark on all who encountered her.
Governor Mutfwang also emphasised that Dada Yar’Adua’s legacy of justice, fairness, and her dedication to nurturing credible leaders should be emulated as her influence transcended ethnic, religious, and regional boundaries. This, the Governor explained, made her a unifying figure in a nation in need of such qualities.
In a statement by Gyang Bere, his Director of Press and Public Affairs (DOPA), made available to Journalists Friday in Jos, Mutfwang noted that her passing leaves a void that will be difficult to fill, especially at a time when the nation could greatly benefit from her wisdom and counsel.
