In a statement Signed by Hassan Sahabi Sanyinnawal, Publicity Secretary, PDP Sokoto State, revealed that the late Sarkin Gobir was a distinguished gentleman and respected traditional ruler, who contributed immensely to the development of Sokoto Caliphate and Nigeria, in general.
“Sokoto Caliphate has indeed lost a father and a respected leader, who lived a life of service to the Caliphate, Nigeria and humanity, especially in the effort to combat insecurity in the state and the nation as a whole.
“The PDP Sokoto State chapter, prays Almighty Allah to forgive his shortcomings and reward his good deeds with Aljannat Firdaus and to give his household and the entire state the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss,” it said.
It would be recalled that the late Sarkin Gobir was kidnapped, along with his biological son some weeks ago, “a regrettable incident that PDP views as part of the unfortunate and condemnable insecurity situation bedeviling the nation, our dear state and the Sokoto Eastern Zone in particular.”
