A presidential aide shared on social media that Shettima described the late Hajiya Umma as a woman of great virtue and a pillar of strength for her family. He offered prayers for her soul’s repose and for the El-Rufai family to find comfort during this difficult time.

Absolutely, he likely wanted to share in his grief and show that he values that personal connection beyond politics.

It's interesting that the VP chose to publicly mourn El-Rufai's mother now, rather than privately offering condolences last week.

I'm not sure a public visit is the best way to express sympathy, it can come off as political theatre.

When offering condolences in politics, a private visit followed by a brief public statement often balances respect and transparency.
