“Her son, our dear brother who hails from Borno state, Lieutenant General Tukur Buratai, is without a doubt a pride to us the people of Borno and rest of Nigeria. It was with Hajja Kaka’s blessings, sound nurturing and values that Buratai was able to join the army and has been devotedly at front lines, inspiring and commanding troops in determined effort to end the Boko Haram insurgency.

“Borno is eternally grateful to late Kaka Hajja for giving General Buratai to Nigeria and for inculcating in him, the selfless principles of patriotism and gallantry. We share the pains of losing Kaka Hajja and we commiserate with our brother, General Buratai and the entire family.
