The Northern Senators Forum (NSF) has condoled with the government and people of Kebbi State over the passing of the Emir of Zuru, His Royal Highness, Major General Mohammed Sani Sami (Gomo II). In a statement signed by the Forum’s Chairman, Senator Abdulaziz Musa Yar’adua, the forum acknowledged the late Emir’s sterling leadership and contributions to stability and development in the Zuru Emirate and Kebbi State.
The late Emir, a distinguished military officer and administrator, served Nigeria with distinction, rising to the rank of Major General. He played a pivotal role in the nation’s history, serving during the Civil War and as Governor of Bauchi State from 1983 to 1985. During his tenure, he implemented notable initiatives, including upgrading medical facilities and a major agricultural development program called “Back to land”.
The NSF prays for the comfort and strength of the late Emir’s family and the people of Zuru during this difficult time. May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him eternal rest. The forum remembers the late Emir’s contributions as an administrator and revered traditional ruler, which will be long remembered in Nigeria.
