Mahmud Abubakar, the Sonfada Etsu Nupe, is dead.
Umaru Bago, governor of Niger state, commiserated with
Yahaya Abubakar, the Etsu Nupe and chairman of the Niger state council of
traditional rulers, over the death of Abubakar.
In a condolence message issued on Sunday by Bologi Ibrahim,
the governor’s chief press secretary, Bago described the passing as a “colossal
loss” not only to the Nupe kingdom but to the entire state.
The governor extended his condolences to the Bida Emirate
and the immediate family of the deceased.
He prayed that Allah forgives the shortcomings of the late
Sonfada and admits him into Aljanat Firdaus.
Bago urged the family to remain steadfast in prayers for the
repose of the deceased’s soul while emulating his good deeds in the service of
humanity.
The governor recalled the significant contributions made by
the late Sonfada to the development of the Nupe kingdom and Niger state, saying
his efforts “will always be acknowledged and re-echoed for many years to come”.
“He prays that the immediate family of late Alh. Mahmud will
continue to be steadfast in praying for the repose of his soul even as he urges
them to emulate his good deeds in serving humanity,” the statement reads.
“The farmer governor recalls the numerous contributions made
by the late Sonfada in the development of the Nupe Kingdom and the State in
general and adds that, his efforts will always be acknowledged and re-echoed
for many years to come.”
