Lafia Emirate Council Honours Sen. Wadada With Traditional Title

The Lafia Emirate Council in Nasarawa State yesterday conferred the traditional title of ‘Magajin Dangin Lafian Bare-Bare’ on Senator Ahmed Wadada, who represents Nasarawa West Senatorial District at the National Assembly.

The Emir of Lafia, Justice Sidi Bage-Muhammad (rtd), while bestowing the honour, described the conferment as a fulfilment of the wishes of their late fathers, who were childhood friends.

He said the gesture was aimed at preserving and strengthening the longstanding bond between their families.

The emir noted that Senator Wadada was eminently deserving of the title due to his significant contributions to national development, particularly in Nasarawa State, where his impact had been felt across various sectors.

He urged the new titleholder to continue promoting unity, mutual respect, and solidarity by upholding the values and heritage of the Lafia Emirate.

“Our traditional institution remains committed to recognising merit and upholding the core values of our cultural heritage,” the emir said.

Gov. Abdullahi Sule congratulated Wadada and described him as a true grassroots politician who carries everyone along in his efforts to promote unity and development across the state.

In his response,  Wadada expressed gratitude to God and the Lafia Emirate Council for the honour, promising to continue championing peace and unity within the emirate, the state, and the country at large.

The event was attended by dignitaries including governors of Nasarawa, Bauchi, and Niger States; about 35 senators; members of the House of Representatives; traditional rulers; business leaders; and other prominent Nigerians. (NAN)
