The Emir announced the conferment of the new
traditional title to the governor at his palace in Gusau on Sunday when the
governor led the state government delegation to the palace for Sallah homage.
Bello said the Gusau Emirate Council decided
to confer the title on the governor following his good contributions for the
development of the emirate and people of the state.
“We confer him with this title for the great
support given to the traditional institutions across the state, especially the
construction of new palace to this emirate”,
“It is part of the tradition of this emirate
to honour leaders and people of the emirate who contributed to the development
of the emirate and entire state ‘’,he said.
The Emir also thanked the state government
for executing various development projects across the state and pledged
continued support to the state government in executing various development
projects for the citizens of the state.
Governor Yari thanked the emirate for the
honour given to him and assured them that he would continue to work for the
development of the state.
He said he was at the emirate for Sallah
homage.
“It is my annual activity to visit our royal
fathers during Sallah period.
“We are using this medium to discuss with
them on how to find lasting solution to the dwindling security situation facing
the state”, he said.
Yari, who a day before said he had resigned
his role as the chief security officer, urged traditional rulers in the state
to call meetings to discuss the security challenges in their respective areas.
