President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with Kano State
Government and Council of Chiefs over the passing of Emir of Rano,
Alhaji Tafida Abubakar Ila Auta Bawo.
A statement to newsmen on Saturday by Garba Shehu, Buhari’s
Spokesman said the President joins the family and Rano Emirate in
mourning the royal father.
He described the emir as someone, whose words of wisdom, nobility,
and decency will be sorely missed, “especially at a time the government
is relying on traditional rulers to sensitize citizens on directives for
safety.”
It added that “Buhari urged his family and the Emirate to find solace
in the good works of the deceased and ensure his legacies are carried
on.
“The President prays that the almighty God will forgive the
shortcomings of the Emir, remember his good works and grant his soul
eternal rest.”
