It was gathered that Hajiya Halima Ibrahim, the mother of the 9th Senate President, died in Gashua, Yobe State on Saturday night. She was aged 86.
She will be buried today, on Sunday in Gashua according to Islamic rites, according to Lawan’s media adviser, Dr Ezrel Tabiowo.
Mourning the deceased, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, commiserated with Lawan over his mother’s death.
Tajudeen in a statement on Sunday described Ibrahim as a successful mother, saying she was a worthy example of womanhood going by the significant roles she played in her lifetime.
The Speaker said it is painful and devastating for one to lose his mother, especially at a time her wise counsel is highly needed.

He prayed for the repose of her soul, urging Senator Lawan to take solace in the fact that his mother lived an impactful life.
