Sultan Of Sokoto Honours Kebbi Governor With Chieftaincy Title

The Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence, Alhaji Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar has honoured the governor of Kebbi State, Dr. Nasir Idris with a chieftaincy title.

The governor has been named as Gwarzon Daular Usmaniyya and this was done in recognition of his exceptional relationship with the traditional institutions in the country.

The governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Yahaya Sarki noted in a statement made available to Team@orientactualmags.com that this was formally announced through a letter sent to the governor by the Sultan, which was delivered by the Emir of Argungu, Alhaji Sama’ila Muhammadu Mera at the Government House, Birnin Kebbi, on Friday.

The Sultan commended Governor Nasir Idris for his impactful contribution to education, healthcare, and security in Kebbi State.

‘Your Excellency, we acknowledge your improvement of the education sector, health, and security, worthy of commendation. This title is a token of appreciation and encouragement to further inspire your service to humanity’ the Sultan submitted.

In his response, Governor Nasir Idris expressed profound appreciation for the honor, emphasizing the unique recognition he has received from the four prominent Emirates in Kebbi State.

‘Today, the Sultan has bestowed on me the title of Gwarzon Daular Usmaniyya. Similarly, Gwandu has honored me with Kauran Gwandu, Argungu with Jigon Kabi, Yauri with Gamjin Yauri, and Zuru with Garkuwan Zuru.

In Hausa land, and perhaps across Nigeria, no governor has been so extensively honored by first-class Emirates as I have. This is a rare blessing, and I express my deepest gratitude to the Sultan and all the Emirs. I will find time to visit the Sultanate in Sokoto to personally show my appreciation’ the governor said.

Governor Idris also restated his administration’s commitment to upholding and supporting traditional institutions, ensuring their welfare and dignity.

‘We have provided our four first-class Emirs with modern vehicles similar to those I use as governor. Their welfare and well-being remain a priority for this administration. We are proud of the positive feedback at the national level regarding the excellent performance of Kebbi’s traditional rulers in their various assignments’ he added.

In a related event, the Fulani community in Kebbi State has also honoured the  governor with the title of Jigon Fulanin Kebbi and this was  done during the Huttungo Cultural Festival which was held as part of the Gwandu Emirate’s Horse Racing and Cultural Festival.

The governor was decorated with the regalia of the title at the event held in Bulasa, Birnin Kebbi, on Friday by Alhaji Muhammad Kiruwa, his Special Adviser on Fulani Matters.

This dual recognition underscores the governor’s unwavering commitment to promoting cultural heritage and fostering harmonious relationships among all communities in Kebbi State-Team@orientactualmags.com   Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
