Hajiya Sadiya Farouq, Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development, has condoled with the people of Kaura Namoda in Zamfara, over the death of their Emir, Alhaji Ahmad Asha.
Farouq in a statement on Monday by her Special Assistant on Media and Press Affairs, Mr Salisu Dambatta,said that his role as a father-figure would be missed by all, âincluding myself as an indigene of Zamfara North Senatorial Zone where his domain is located.â
âThe late 71-year-old monarch has made tremendous impact on the lives of countless people beyond his domain in Zamfara. I pray the Almighty God to grant him an abode in heaven.
âHe had an illustrious public service career, which was crowned by his appointment as an Emir about 16 years ago in recognition of his excellent leadership qualities and honesty in public service.
âHe lived a clean life of service and died with an enviable clean record.
âHowever, may the Almighty Allah give his immediate family and all of us his larger family the courage to bear his loss with fortitude and gratitude to Allah for a life well-spent,â the minister said.
