Buhari Condoles With Kano Gov, Emirate Over Death Of Emir Of Rano

President Muhammadu Buhari has commiserated with Kano State Government and Council of Chiefs over passing of Emir of Rano, Alhaji Tafida Abubakar Ila Auta Bawo.

The emir died on Saturday at a hospital in Kano at the age of 74.

Reports have it that the emir was hospitalised, at the Amin Kano Teaching Hospital, before been referred to Nasarawa specialist Hospital but not sure whether his illness is related or not to COVID-19.

A statement released by President Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu reads:

“The President joins the family and Rano Emirate in mourning the royal father, 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.

“President Buhari urges 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.”
