Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal,
In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Public Affairs, Malam Imam Imam, Tambuwal described the deceased as a strict disciplinarian who led an exemplary life characterised by honesty, fairness, generosity and service to God and humanity.
He said the late Emir treasured knowledge and the search for knowledge.l
“Under his long and glorious reign, Kano witnessed unprecedented boom in all spheres of human endeavour. It’s eminent status as a trading point and centre of commerce in sub Saharan Africa was not only reaffirmed, but enhanced.
“People of Kano and indeed all Nigerians will miss his advice and reassuring presence. It is gratifying however that he has left behind towering legacies for posterity and this should serve as comforting to us all,” Tambuwal added.
While extending his condolences to the Kano Emirate and the state government, the Speaker prayed to Almighty Allah to grant his immediate family the fortitude to bear the loss.
