The President also sympathized with the Council of Traditional Rulers, who will sorely miss the wisdom and guidance of the royal father.<\/p>\n

He also condoled with the late monarch\u2019s family members. Haliru was the Emir of Lafiagi for 46 years, and Buhari noted that while on the throne, he initiated and sustained peaceful co-existence in the domain, especially in accommodating other ethnic groups and nationalities.<\/p>\n

Buhari, according to the statement, believes the monarch\u2019s legacy of hospitality, harmonious living, and encouraging civic responsibility should be sustained.<\/p>\n

He prayed that the Almighty God will accept the soul of the departed and comfort his family.<\/p>\n
