From Ayodele Ajoge, Birnin-Kebbi
The first daughter of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Iyaloja-General of Nigeria, Chief (Dr.) Mujidat Folasade Tinubu-Ojo, has commiserated with Governor Nasir Idris, the Zuru Emirate, and the entire people of Kebbi State over the passing of the Emir of Zuru, Major General (Rtd) Sani Sami, Gomo II.
Tinubu-Ojo, who visited the Government House, Birnin Kebbi, on Monday with her entourage, offered her condolences to the Governor following the demise of the revered monarch last week.
Earlier, she was in Zuru to sympathize with the late Emir’s family and the people of the emirate.
She described the late Emir as an elder statesman and a great leader who served his people and the nation diligently.
“It was a life well spent. I specially commiserate with you on the passing of the Emir of Zuru, whom I considered part of me. I pray Almighty Allah grants him Aljannat Firdaus and gives you, the Zuru Emirate, and the entire Kebbi State the fortitude to bear this loss,” she said.
In his response, Governor Idris expressed gratitude for her visit and for personally traveling to Zuru before meeting him in Birnin Kebbi.
The Governor reaffirmed Kebbi State’s unwavering support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, noting that he was the first governor to endorse the President for a second term.
He highlighted the development strides under his administration and praised the Federal Government for awarding major projects to the state, including the ongoing Super Highway, a significant portion of which lies in Kebbi State.
“What is important is development, and Mr. President has delivered that for us. That is why stakeholders in Kebbi State unanimously endorsed him. If there are five governors closest to Mr. President, I am one of them,” Governor Idris assured.
