Katsina State Governor, Malam Dikko Umaru Radda, has expressed profound grief over the death of Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, Supreme Leader of Tijaniyyah in Nigeria.
Governor Radda described the scholar’s passing as a monumental loss to Nigeria, the Muslim Ummah, and humanity.
“Sheikh Dahiru Usman was not just a religious leader; he was a father, a guide, and a unifying force who transcended ethnic, political, and regional boundaries. His wisdom, humility, and commitment to peace inspired millions across Nigeria and beyond,” the governor stated.
He noted that the late scholar’s life exemplified the true teachings of Islam—compassion, tolerance, knowledge, and service to humanity.
“Throughout his 98 years, Sheikh Dahiru remained a voice of reason, a pillar of moral authority, and a symbol of spiritual enlightenment. His departure leaves a void that will be deeply felt across generations,” Radda added.
The governor also recalled Sheikh Usman’s contributions to promoting peaceful coexistence, interfaith dialogue, and moral discipline in Nigerian society.
He commiserated with the government and people of Bauchi State, the Tijaniyyah community and the entire Muslim Ummah over the irreparable loss.
Governor Radda prayed to Almighty Allah to forgive the deceased, grant him Aljannat Firdaus, and give his family, followers, and admirers the fortitude to bear the loss.
