According to Tambuwal, the late monarch's contributions extended beyond the traditional institution, particularly in the areas of education, community development and the preservation of the cultural heritage and traditions of the Gumel Emirate.

“His wisdom, long years of service and contributions to the development of his people will remain an enduring part of his legacy,” Tambuwal said.

He expressed his heartfelt condolences to the royal family, members of the Gumel Emirate Council, the Government and people of Jigawa State, as well as friends, associates and all those affected by the monarch's death.

Tambuwal said the loss of such an experienced traditional ruler would be deeply felt, particularly because of the late Emir's role in promoting peace, stability and unity within his domain and beyond.

He prayed Almighty Allah to forgive the shortcomings of the deceased monarch, accept his good deeds and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus.
