… says his contribution to peace in Northern Nigeria will be missed

LAWMAKER representing Kaduna North Senatorial District, Senator Suleiman Abdu Kwari, has described the death of the Emir of Zazzau, Dr Shehu Idris, as a sad development.

He described the late Emir as a highly cultured leader, who was urbane and cosmopolitan in the handling of issues, noting that his commitment to peace, exemplified by his patriotic disposition to national issues, was a factor that distinguished him.

Kwari commiserated with the royal family, and the Nasir El-rufai Government of Kaduna, and the entre people of Zazzau emirate, stating that the late emir would be dearly missed.

The distinguished Senator, who is the Chairman, Senate Committee on Anti-Corruption and Financial Crimes, lamented that the Emir’s death had come at a very crucial moment in Nigeria’s national experience, “a time when the nation is working with dignified lovers of peace to institute harmony among various groups.”

He said his contribution to peace in northern Nigeria and the country would be dearly missed.

The Senator prayed for the repose of the Emir’s soul, and called on Nigerians to imbibe in themselves, the virtues and ideologies of peace and harmony for which the late emir was known.

He called on the Federal Government to consider immortalising the late emir by naming a national edifice in his honour.
