World Emir of Kano’s death a national loss – Jonathan by Joseph Anthony June 6, 2014 written by Joseph Anthony June 6, 2014 292 views 292 President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday described the death of Alhaji Ado Bayero, the Emir of Kano, as a national loss. The President in a statement issued by this media aide, Dr. Reuben Abati, said with the monarch’s death, Nigeria has lost one of its most respected traditional rulers. He commiserated with the Ado Bayero’s family and the people of Kano over the emir’s death. The President said the departed emir “presided illustriously” as traditional ruler for more than half a century. The statement reads,”The President joins the people and government of Kano State in mourning the monarch whose uncommon leadership qualities and evident faith in the peace, unity, progress, and prosperity of Nigeria combined to make him one of the most respected traditional rulers in the country during his long and very successful reign.’’ He stated that the monarch would always be “remembered and honoured by the people of Kano and all Nigerians for his immense wisdom and competence as a traditional ruler.” The late emir, according to the President, used his exalted throne to build bridges of unity, friendship and harmony across the nation. He reaffirmed his 2013 declaration on the emir’s 50th anniversary that the deceased “was one of the most decent and respectable Nigerians he had had the privilege of interacting with.” 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail Joseph Anthony previous post Police arrest Kano bomb blast suspects next post Tight security in Kano as kingmakers meet over Bayero’s successor You may also like Billionaire Advocates for Russian Companies to Develop SAP...
