“The NRM leadership also regrets such a big loss because the Late Hajj Omboko Abubaker has been a good, dependable and reliable mobiliser not only in matters of financial growth of the people but also in politics. Such leaders are always cherished, and such legacy should be emulated by the youth and those he has been leading,” he said in his message dated April 17, 2024.

“Fathers play a big role in seeing to the welfare of their families and they are the spine on which families are kept strong and intact. We pray the Almighty God to sustain his family with grace to handle such pain and grief. May the Almighty God Rest the soul of the Late Hajji Omboko Abubaker in Eternal Peace.”
