The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has condoled with the family of his late Associate and All Progressive Congress (APC) Chieftain in Bauchi, Alhaji Bello Tukura, who passed away last Thursday in Abuja.
During his condolence visit to the Tukura family house on Monday in Bauchi, Tuggar described the late APC chieftain and associate as humble, amazing, honest, trustworthy, and simple.
He praised Tukura’s transparency and accountability in his dealings, particularly during his tenure as the Director General of the Tuggar Foundation.
Tuggar sympathized with the family and urged them to take solace in the fact that Allah loved Tukura the most. He prayed that Allah would grant Tukura Al Jannah Firdaus.
The late Alhaji Bello Mohammed Tukura was a community leader, grassroots politician, and businessman. He was born in Azare, Bauchi, to the family of Maaji Tukura Azare. He was also the Director General of the Ambassador Yusuf Tuggar Foundation. He is survived by two wives and eight children.
Responding on behalf of the Tukura family, Alhaji Kawu Tukura appreciated the Minister’s visit and condolences, thanking him for his support during their time of grief.
Tuggar’s condolence visit was a testament to the strong bond between him and the late Tukura, as well as his commitment to supporting the families of his associates and friends.
The Minister’s presence at the condolence visit was seen as a morale booster to the family and associates of the late APC chieftain, and his words of encouragement and sympathy were well received by all.
As the family and friends of Alhaji Bello Tukura continue to mourn his passing, they take comfort in the knowledge that his legacy will live on, and that his contributions to the development of Bauchi State and Nigeria will not be forgotten.
