President Bola Tinubu has expressed sadness over the passing of the Emir of Zuru, His Royal Highness, Major General Muhammadu Sani Sami (Gomo II).

The President, in a message released by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, described the passing of the retired general and onetime military governor of Bauchi State as a significant loss for the country.

Tinubu said the country would always cherish the late emir’s contributions as an administrator and revered traditional ruler. The Lagos Voice reports that the late Emir served Nigeria as a young military officer during the Nigerian Civil War (1967-1970).

According to the President, the late royal father’s sterling leadership facilitated stability and development in the Zuru Emirate and Kebbi State. Tinubu also prayed to Almighty Allah to grant the emir eternal rest and comfort his family and subjects in this difficult time.
