Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President of Nigeria has commiserated with Senator Ben Murray-Bruce on the sad loss of his wife.

As earlier reported by Naija News, the former Bayelsa Senator disclosed on Friday that he lost his wife,  Evelyn Murray-Bruce to cancer.

He wrote, “I’m broken. Just lost my beautiful wife to cancer. She was my best friend for 43 years and my wife for 41 years. Cancer is real, but it shouldn’t be a death sentence – awareness, and early detection and treatment are key to survival. I miss her so so much. I’m broken.

“Our children are devastated, I am too. But I have to be strong for them. Please put our family in your prayers. Like the sun, my wife was a blessing and touched the lives of everyone she met.

“Though she’s gone, she’d remain alive in our hearts forever.

“I miss you, my sweetheart, and my most beautiful girl, Evelyn Murray-Bruce. Forever yours.”

Atiku has also taken to Twitter to condole with the former Senator and his family. He prayed God to rest her soul in peace.

He wrote: “My good friend and brother, @benmurraybruce, on behalf of my family, I extend our deepest condolences. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.
