BUHARI SEND A 10-MAN CONDOLENCE DELLEGATION TO TALLEN
Former President Muhammadu Buhari has dispatched a delegation of ten former ministers to console ex-Minister of Women Affairs, Paulin Tallen, following the death of her son, Richard Adamu Tallen.
The delegation, led by former Minister of Information Alhaji Lai Mohammed, offered an emotional tribute, characterising Richard as “a gem and a rising star,” whose departure is very sad.
According to a statement released on Thursday by his spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, Buhari advised Tallen and her family to take comfort in the outpouring of love and respect from admirers.
The group led by Lai Mohammed included former Ministers of Power, Engineer Abubakar Aliyu; Environment, Barrister Mohammed Abdullahi; Power (State), Jedy Agba; Niger Delta, Umana Umana; and Industry, Trade, and Investment, Chief Niyi Adebayo.
The others included former Youth and Sports Minister Sunday Dare, Foreign Affairs Minister Geoffrey Onyeama, Transportation Minister Muazu Jaji, and Water Resources Engineer Suleiman Adamu.
Prayers were said for Richard’s soul.
