“Today marks the completion of her 4 months and 10 days of Iddah, a period she observed with patience, dignity, and deep faith in Allah’s decree,” Zahra wrote.
She added, “May Almighty Allah heal her heart, guide her steps into this new chapter, and bless her with a future filled with strength, clarity, and endless blessings. May the soul of Late President Muhammadu Buhari rest in Aljanatul Firdausi. Amen.”
