Former President Muhammadu Buhari said he received with sadness, the news of the death of the Galadiman Kano, Alhaji Abbas Sunusi, who was also a member of the Kano Emirate Council.
Reacting to the news of the passage of Galadiman, the former president said the Emirate, and indeed the nation has lost a stabilizer and a moderating voice in the rapidly transforming Kano society.
“The Galadima was the effective link between the past and the present; an embodiment of institutional memory and traditions who was key to the governance and the administration of the royal palace. Abbas Sunusi is irreplaceable. May his soul rest in peace.”
Buhari also condoled with the family of the deceased, the Kano Emirate Council and the government, and the people of the state.
