He regretted that although Hajiya Hauwa’u died at a time her elderly and motherly counsel and wisdom were needed by her children and grand children as well as the present crop of leaders, “We must take solace in the fact that she left behind a lasting legacy through her children and exemplary life which we would continue to cherish”.

The Gombe Governor urged Governor Bello and other members of his family to keep alive the legacies of service and good character their late mother left behind.
