“Kano would forever remain appreciative of the contributions late Wada Waziri Ibrahim made to the development of the state and the nation in general.
He was a great treasure as an elder, whose exemplary leadership qualities earned him all respect from his generation and the generation that follows,” commended governor Ganduje.
Understanding late Sarkin Bai’s youthful exuberance as a champion of the masses, “…throughout his lifetime, our beloved late Sarkin Ban Bichi, Wada Waziri Ibrahim, was loved by both the ruled and the rulers,” he said.
Late Sarkin Bai’s peaceful posture in ameliorating any confused and frightening moments, as a renowned freedom fighter, was superb and exemplary.
Adding that, when it comes to fight for social justice and equality before the law, late Sarkin Bai, was a turning point. He was a strong pillar to fall back on.
“He charted many courses in quest for social justice, children’s rights and liberty for the downtrodden. Such qualities in him revolved around his sound upbringing. That was why he was highly disciplined and receptive,” Ganduje said.
He urged his family members to continue following his footsteps of confidence, discipline, commitment, justice, logical thinking and reasoning, pragmatism, humility and above all, the fear and love of Allah in all their dealings.
