MESSAGE OF CONDOLENCES TO THE FAMILY OF THE LATE FORMER SECOND LADY, HER EXCELLENCY HAJIA RAMATU MAHAMA, BY LAWYER JUSTIN FRIMPONG KODUA, THE NEW PATRIOTIC PARTY’S GENERAL SECRETARY HOPEFUL
I have received with great shock the news of the passing of the former Second Lady of our Republic, Her Excellency Hajia Ramatu Mahama, wife of the former Vice President, the late Alhaji Aliu Mahama.
In the words of Qur’an 3:185, “Everyone is bound to taste death..,” but little did we expect such a great woman, Hajia Ramatu Mahama, would leave us in fulfilment of these holy words, at this hour.
She was a virtuous woman and a great mother whose motherly love and affection touched every nook and cranny of our dear country.
Truly, she lived an exemplary life, worthy of emulation by women within her family, those in our great party, the New Patriotic Party, women in Islam and in Ghana as a whole.
I pray that the second part of the words of Qur’an 3:185, “…..and you shall receive your full reward on the Day of Resurrection,” be fulfilled with our late mother.
I, herein, extend my sincerest and most heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family, and pray that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) grants the soul of Hajia Ramatu Mahama Jannatul Firdaus.
It is also my prayer that Allah will strengthen the entire bereaved family and mend all broken hearts in these trying moments.
