PRESS STATEMENT: Emir of Ilorin mourn Yusuf Maitama Sule

Date: 2017-07-04

The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman Kwara State Traditional Council, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has described the death of the Danmasani'n Kano, Alhaji Yusuf Maitama Sule as a great loss not only the people of Kano but to Nigerians and the entire international community.

The Emir in his condolence message issued by the National Secretary of Shehu Alimi Foundation for Peace and Development, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, extolled the virtues of late Maitama Sule for his sterling contributions to nation-building.

According to him, "Yusuf Maitama Sule lived a fulfilled life worth of emulation for the younger generations and the yet unborn ones. His death is a colossal loss to this nation. His close relationship with early nationalists such as Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Sir Ahmadu Bello among others further enhanced his patriotism and equipped him with leadership and diplomatic qualities that can transform Nigeria for the benefit of the downtrodden.

"He was a complete nationalist, devout Muslim, friend of the masses, administrator per excellence, fine politician and most importantly elder statesman whose records of service to the nation would not be forgotten so soon."

Alhaji Sulu-Gambari also recalled the statement of late Danmasani'n Kano that, "Everyone has a gift from God. The Northerners are endowed by God with leadership qualities. The Yoruba man knows how to earn a living and has diplomatic qualities. The Igbo man is gifted in trade, commerce, and technological innovation. God so created us equally with purpose and different gifts."

He however described him as a true Nigerian whose love for the unity of the entire nation despite the diversity can never be negotiated an inch despite the threats from different quarters.

While condoling his immediate family, Kano Emirate Council, government and people of Kano State and the entire Nigerians over the great loss, the Emir prayed Allah to grant him eternal rest and admit him into Al-janatul firdaos.
