President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has described the late Emir of Zuru, Major General Muhammadu Sani Sami (Gomo II), as a pillar of stability whose reign brought enduring peace and development to Kebbi State and beyond.
Our correspondent recalls that the Emir, a retired military officer and former military governor of Bauchi State, passed away on Sunday in a London hospital after a brief illness,aged, 81.
In a condolence message issued by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Mr. Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu noted that the late traditional ruler would be remembered for his patriotic service during the Nigerian Civil War (1967–1970) and his role in fostering unity as a respected traditional ruler.
Tinubu stressed that the Emir’s leadership transcended Zuru Emirate, as his wisdom and commitment to stability impacted Kebbi State and the Nigerian nation at large.
He prayed for Almighty Allah to grant the late Emir eternal rest and to console his family, the Zuru Emirate Council, and the people of Kebbi State.
