President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday commiserated with the government and people of Zamfara State on the death of the Emir of Gusau, Alhaji Muhammad Kabir Dan Baba.
Jonathan, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, noted that the late Emir was one of the longest serving traditional rulers in Nigeria, having been appointed District Head of Gusau in 1984 before being upgraded to Second Class Emir in 1997 and First Class Emir three years later.
The President said he believed that the late Emir, who honoured him with the traditional title of Garkuwan Manoman Zamfara during his visit to Gusau on January 19 this year, would be missed by the people of Gusau whom he ruled with great wisdom and understanding for more than 30 years.
“As they mourn and lay their just, fair-minded, pious, courageous and benevolent patriarch and Emir to rest, President Jonathan urges members of his family and the people of Gusau to also give thanks to Almighty Allah for Alhaji Muhammad’s long and very fulfilled life of exemplary service to his people and country.
“The President prays that Almighty Allah will grant Alhaji Muhammad eternal rest and bless the people of Gusau with a worthy successor to the late Emir who will build on the commendable legacies of progress and development,” the statement read in part.
RIP sir, May God grant him eternal rest.... In other news, our cone and dance in chief is mourning? Hmmm never knew he could mourn. The only person I saw him mourn was his late sister. Nigerians' lives means nothing to him. Na Buhari I go vote oooohhh!!! Raising up my PVC with the fear of Jesus!
