The Deputy Governor of Kano State, Aminu Abdussalsm Gwarzo, on Sunday, led a delegation on behalf of Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf to condole with the Emir of Zazzau, Malam Ahmad Nuhu Bamali over the death of his younger brother, Alhaji Mansur Nuhu Bamali.
This was according to a press statement released on Monday by the Press Secretary to the deputy governor, Ibrahim Garba Shuaibu.
Recall that Alhaji Mansur passed away in October while in transit to Morocco, during a layover at a private hospital in Lagos.
The deputy governor and his entourage extended their condolences during the visit to the Emir’s palace in Zaria, Kaduna State on Sunday.
Comrade Gwarzo conveyed his sympathies during the visit and eulogised the late Alhaji Mansur, acknowledging not only the loss to the Emirate but to the entire nation.
He commended Alhaji Mansur’s humility, kindness, and simplicity, despite his distinguished royal lineage and extensive educational background.
In response, Emir Ahmad Nuhu Bamali expressed his gratitude to the delegation representing Governor Abba for their condolences. He also prayed for their safe journey back to Kano State.
The Emir went on to reflect on Mansur’s life, emphasising that even though he passed away at the age of 52, his lifetime achievements were equivalent to that of someone who had lived a hundred years.
“Indeed, every soul shall taste death. Late Mansur lived an exemplary life worthy of emulation, and we pray for his final resting place to be the highest peak of Al-Jannah,” the Emir said.
Recall that before his demise, Alhaji Mansur Nuhu Bamali had served as Nigeria’s Ambassador to Morocco and held the distinguished title of Magajin Garin Zazzau.”
