Ado Bayero An Embodiment Of Peace And National Unity – Gov. Uduaghan

Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has expressed sadness at the death of the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Ado Bayero describing him as an epitome of peace and national unity.

In a statement by Felix Ofou, his Press Secretary, the Governor noted the bold sacrifices and courage exhibited by the late monarch to maintain relative peace in Kano even in the face of threats by insurgents and at great risk to his life..

Uduaghan recalled with nostalgia and fond memories how the late Emir received him and his entourage from Delta State into the ancient city of Kano in 2007, noting that the encounter and warm reception accorded him would remain indelible in his mind.

Governor Uduaghan particularly noted the late monarch’s support for President Goodluck Jonathan and his efforts to combat the scourge of Boko Haram and other terrorist activities in the country. 

He enthused that President Goodluck Jonathan will greatly miss the wise counsel and intervention of the late Emir adding that he was a pillar of support to the Federal Government as well as other forms of lawful authority in the country.

Uduaghan therefore expressed condolences to the government and people of Kano State, the Ado Bayero family, President Jonathan and Nigerians at large and prayed God to grant all the fortitude to bear the loss.
