President Muhammadu Buhari extends heartfelt condolences to
the Dasuki family, the government and people of Sokoto State on the death of
the 18th Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki.
President Buhari also commiserates with the Jama’atul Nasril
Islam (JNI) and the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs over the demise of the
remarkable traditional ruler that devoted his life, tenure of office to the
promotion of peaceful coexistence and tolerance among diverse ethnic groups in
Nigeria.
The President joins them in mourning the passing of one of
Nigeria's most powerful voices for peace and unity in diversity, who diligently
kept faith with the virtues of the Sardauna whom he had served as a public
servant.
Apart from modernising the traditional institution to bring
it in tune with changing times, President Buhari believes that the late Ibrahim
Dasuki, who died on Monday at the age of 93, will be long remembered for his
role in the creation of the present local government system in the country.
The President pays tribute to his contribution to national
peace and development, particularly his significant role in producing the
report that gave birth to the current local government councils.
President Buhari prays that Almighty Allah will comfort the
family of his Eminence, grant the deceased eternal rest and reward his good
virtues with Paradise.
