RIP!! President Buhari Reacts As Accountant-General Loses His Father

Nigeria’s Accountant General, Ahmed Idris, has lost his father, Idris Hussain.
Hussain, 96, passed away on Wednesday.

He had been buried according to Islamic rites.

Henshaw Ogubike, the Director Information in the AGF’s office, said the deceased was a businessman and a philanthropist.

He hailed from Daneji Quarters in Kano Municipal Local Government Council of Kano State.

President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with his son, Idris, and the family.

His condolence message was contained in a statement by a presidential spokesman, Garba Shehu.

Buhari said the late Hussain did not only live for himself but also devoted his life to the service of humanity through philanthropic deeds.

He noted his selflessness and passion for humanity are virtues “for which he will be remembered for many years to come.”

Buhari appealed to other well-to-do members of society to borrow a leaf from the noble deeds of the late Idris Hussain.

The president prayed to Allah to forgive the soul of the deceased and grant him paradise “for his good deeds during his remarkable life on earth.”

The A-G was in the news two weeks ago after fire engulfed some offices in the Treasury House.

Minister of State for Finance, Clem Agba, said no records were lost in the incident.
