I was in Gumel, Jigawa State, today to offer my heartfelt condolences to the good people of the Emirate on the passing of the Emir of Gumel, His Royal Highness Alhaji Dr. Ahmad Muhammad Sani II, CON.
In my remarks, I described the late Emir as a distinguished traditional ruler, a beacon of wisdom, and a father to his people, whose nearly 46-year reign was defined by peace, progressive leadership, and the faithful preservation of the Emirate’s rich cultural heritage.
I also take this opportunity to congratulate his son, the Ciroman Gumel, Lawan Ahmed Muhammad, on his appointment to succeed his father as the new Emir of Gumel. - RMK
