HAJIA AYA DADA YAR’ADUA, THE LUCKIEST MOTHER TO HAVE GOVERNOR, VICE PRESIDENT AND PRESIDENT AS HER CHILDREN

Hajia Aya Dada Yar’Adua by name, is the lovely mother to our former president in Nigeria by name Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, the matriarch of the Yar’Adua’s family, she was married to Musa Yar’dua, a former minister. She gave birth to successful children that made her a unique mother, her son Shehu Musa Yaradua, was once a vice president from 1979-1981. Another of her son, Umaru Musa Yaradua was once a governor of katsina state for 8 years before he later became the president of Nigeria from 2007- 2009 when he died. One of her grandson Alhaji Murtala Shegu yaradua was a minister from 2009-2011. Three of her granddaughters were married wives of governors of three different state. She is such a blessed mother, whose children has done something rare, I call it a blessed womb, a record breaker and a unique mother.

One of her daughter Hajiya Mairo has died at the age of 68 at the federal Medical Centre, Kastina after a brief illness. It was confirmed that she died of asthma illness. But this strong lovely mother also had the same illness, but later recovered from it unlike her daughter. Her son Umaru Musa Yaradua also died over a brief illness in the year 2009.

She has what it take to be a mother, a woman who every child will love to have as a mother, a fulfilled mother who has played perfectly well the role of a great mother. Mother May you be blessed beyond human understanding for giving birth to the giants of Nigeria, a role models to many and a lovely children, we love you.
