“His Royal Highness embodied wisdom, humility, courage and unwavering dedication to his subjects,” President Tinubu said.
“He provided fatherly guidance and leadership that will remain a source of inspiration to the people of Gazargamu and Yobe State.”
The President extended his condolences to the Ngazargamu Emirate Council, the immediate and extended royal family, the government and people of Yobe State, and all subjects of the emirate.
“I pray Almighty Allah to forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, and grant him Al-Jannatul Firdaus. May Allah also grant the family and the entire emirate the fortitude to bear this painful loss,” the President added.
