Yobe State Governor, Hon. (Dr) Mai Mala Buni, yesterday led a government delegation to the funeral of the late Emir of Gudi, Alh. Isa Bunuwa Madugu Ibn Khaji.
The Emir passed away on Thursday at a hospital in Abuja after a prolonged illness.
Governor Buni, who was attending a state function in Abuja, cut short his engagements to personally attend the funeral.
He was accompanied by several dignitaries, including the Speaker of the Yobe State House of Assembly, Hon. Chiroma Buba Mashio, Senators Mohammed Bomoi and Musa Mustapha, and Members of the House of Representatives.
During the funeral, Governor Buni prayed for Allah’s forgiveness and mercy on the late Emir.
He also urged the people to remain upright and forgive one another, reminding them that death is inevitable and its timing is known only to Almighty Allah.
The Governor described the Emir’s death as a monumental loss to his family, the Gudi Emirate, Yobe State, and Nigeria.
The late Emir was 79 years old and is survived by four wives.
