Jona mourns Emir of Gusau!

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.
