He was buried on Friday in Gudi, Akwanga LGA.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the incident, the governor said from the experiences he had gathered from the Holy Qu\u2019ran, God promised to test the faith of every believer, saying, \u201cThis is my time to be tested.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cI see this as a test from God. I was the person consoling somebody that lost his 9 children and 70 cows yesterday, and today God decided to test me, to see whether I was sincere in consoling that bereaved father.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\nSule described his late son as a calm, disciplined and obedient young man, who treated his siblings equally and with mutual respect.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe grew up carrying all his siblings along. It\u2019s only God that has the power to take him away. He was the one taking decisions on our businesses. He is always on hand to advise me on what next to do, saying my schedule will not allow me to run any business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod took him away to test my resilience and faith. God didn\u2019t seek my advice when he gave Hassan to me and he will not seek my advice when he takes him away,\u201d the governor added.<\/p>\n<p>The deceased who got married in June last year was Sule\u2019s eldest son with his first wife, Silifat.<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has said he considers the death of his eldest son, Hassan Sule, as a test from God.
