Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, has described the loss of his 36-year-old son, Hassan, as a test from God.

Okay.ng recalls that Sule died on Thursday night after a brief illness.

He was laid to rest on Friday in Gudi, Akwanga Local Government Area of the state.

Sule has described the passing away of his first son, Hassan, as a test from God.

The governor stated this on Friday while receiving condolences at the palace of his father, the Sarkin Gudi, HRH Alhaji Sule Bawa, in Akwanga LGA.

He said from the experiences he had gathered from the Holy Qu’ran, God promised to test the faith of every believer, saying, “This is my time to be tested.”

He said, “I see this as a test from God. I was the person consoling somebody that lost his 9 children and 70 cows yesterday, and today God decided to test me, to see whether I was sincere in consoling that bereaved father.

He described his late son as a calm, disciplined and obedient young man, who treated his siblings equally and with mutual respect.

“He grew up carrying all his siblings along. It’s only God that has the power to take him away. He was the one taking decisions on our businesses. He is always on hand to advice me on what next to do, saying my schedule will not allow me to run any business.

“God took him away to test my resilience and faith. God didn’t seek my advice when he gave Hassan to me and he will not seek my advice when he takes him away,” the Governor added.

The deceased who got married in June last year was Sule’s eldest son with his first wife, Silifat.

Since the news of the passing away of the late Hassan Abdullahi Sule, Gudi, the country home of the Governor, has turned into a Mecca of some sort, with prominent personalities trooping in to condole with the Nasarawa first family.

Our correspondent reports that early arrivals were the first Executive Governor of the state and National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Senator Abdullahi Adamu; the immediate past Governor of the state, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-Makura; among others.
