Buhari, who also rejoiced with family, friends and associates of Emir of Zazzau-Suleja, extolled the traditional ruler for always accepting responsibilities to serve the nation and his community, working variously as a lecturer and permanent secretary, before he was elected governor of Niger State in 1979.
The president saluted the visionary leadership provided by the emir in his domain, and extension of his experience in contributing to the growth of the nation, particularly in the area of education, administration and governance.
