Presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi, has condoled with the government and people of Jigawa State over the death of His Royal Highness, Alhaji Mohammed Nuhu Sanusi ll.
Obi said he received the news of the demise of the 3rd Emir of Dutse, who died at the age of 79, in Abuja, with shock.
“Just a day earlier, my running mate, Dr Datti Baba-Ahmed and I together with our entourage, were received with so much warmth and pageantry, at the Palace, in Dutse, as part of our Presidential Campaign itinerary.
“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,” said a statement personally signed by Obi.
The statement stated further: “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.
“Amin.”
