Gov. Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State has commiserated with the people of the state over the death of the Emir of Ningi, Yunusa Muhammad Danyaya.

Danyaya, 88, died on Sunday morning after protracted illness.

The governor in a condolence message by his media aide, Mukhtar Gidado, described the deceased as a man of peace, wisdom, and immense dedication to the welfare of his people.

“The Bauchi state government wishes to extend its deepest condolences to the immediate family of the late Emir, the Ningi Emirate Council, and the entire people of Bauchi State.

“We mourn with you in this great loss and pray that Almighty Allah grants the departed soul eternal peace in Jannatul Firdaus.

“May Allah also grant his family, the people of Ningi, and all those affected by this loss the strength and fortitude to bear the loss .

“His Royal Highness will be remembered as a father to all, a pillar of strength, and a beacon of light in our state,” he said.
