President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday called the Bayelsa State Governor, Seriake Dickson, over the death of his mother, Madam GoldCoast Dickson.

A tweet on the Presidency’s official Twitter handle said Buhari, who is currently on a 10-day vacation in London called Dickson to condole with him over the death of his mother.

“President @MBuhari today called Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, to condole with him over the death of his mother, Madam GoldCoast Dickson,” the tweet read.

The 72-year-old died of breast cancer at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Centre, Houston, Texas, United States.

Her death was disclosed by Governor Dickson through a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Francis Ottah-Agbo, few weeks ago.
