Elizabeth Abdul: Tinubu mourns CREDICORP chairman

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has expressed profound sadness at the passing away of Mrs. Elizabeth Nana Abdul (née Bartels), wife of Otunba Aderemi Abdul, Chairman of the Nigerian Consumer Credit Corporation (CREDICORP).

She was 70 years old.

According to President Tinubu, Nana Abdul was a remarkable woman whose life was defined by grace, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to her family and community. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering dedication to the well-being of others earned her the admiration and respect of all who had the privilege of knowing her.

“Mrs. Elizabeth Nana Abdul was not only a devoted wife and mother; she was also a beacon of light and strength for her family and an inspiration to her community. Her legacy of kindness, resilience, and generosity will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her,” the president said.

The president joined family, friends and loved ones in mourning this irreparable loss. He extends his heartfelt condolences to Otunba Aderemi Abdul, his old friend, their children, and the entire Abdul and Bartels families.

“As you navigate this difficult time, may you find solace in the cherished memories you shared with her and in the outpouring of love and support from all those who stand with you,” the president said.

Mrs. Abdul’s influence reached far beyond her immediate family. She touched many lives through her quiet acts of kindness and steadfast support for community development initiatives. Her passing leaves a significant void that her community will deeply feel, but her legacy of love and service will live on.

The president prayed for comfort for the Abdul family and the eternal repose of Nana Abdul’s soul.

“May the Almighty grant the family strength and peace during this time of mourning. We are with you in prayer,” the president said.
