PETER Obi, Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, has expressed shock at the passing away of his Royal Highness, Mohammed Nuhu Sanusi ll, the 3rd Emir of Dutse
The first-class traditional ruler in the North Western part of Nigeria, who was also a former Chancellor of Sokoto State University, died on Tuesday after a brief illness at the age of 79.
In his condolence message to the family and the Dutse Emirate, Obi described the late Emir as a man of hospitality, who had received Datti Baba-Ahmed, Obi-Datti Presidential Campaign Organisation and himself with so much warmth and pageantry, at the Palace, in Dutse, just a day earlier
He said, “While we listened to the supplications, prayers and words of advice from Emir Sanusi, and other Emirate officials, little did we know of what had been divinely decreed.
“A man of high education and an astute lover of development, Dr Sanusi strived tirelessly to successfully transform Dutse Emirate, from a quiet town, to a prosperous city, increasing the economic fortunes of his people and also the tourism potential, standard of living and educational awareness.
“We express our deepest condolences to the Government and people of Jigawa State, and the Entire Dutse Emirate on this gargantuan loss, and we will always hold in reverence, the time we spent in his presence.
“May Almighty Allah comfort his family and subjects and all who mourn him, and grant him rest everlasting.”
