Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has expressed sadness over the death of the Emir of Zuru, Major General Mohammed Sani Sami, Gomo II, who died at age 81.
Governor Radda described the late emir as a father figure whose guidance was sought across Northern Nigeria.
This was contained in a statement by Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed, Chief Press Secretary to the Governor of Katsina State.
“His leadership combined firmness with understanding, and his life reflected dedication, service, and integrity,” the Governor said.
Governor Radda noted that the emir was a principled and visionary leader whose decades of service as both military officer and traditional ruler left a lasting impact.
“He combined decades of military discipline with the compassion of a traditional ruler, earning respect across Kebbi State and beyond,” Radda stated.
The governor described the emir’s death as a great loss, especially when Nigeria needs experienced and principled leaders.
On behalf of the Government and the people of Katsina State, Governor Radda extended condolences to Kebbi State government, the Zuru Emirate Council, and the emir’s family.
He prayed for Allah’s forgiveness and Aljannah Firdaus for the deceased.
