President Goodluck Jonathan has commiserated with the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi and the people of Kano on the death of the Galadiman Kano, Alhaji Tijani Hashim.

The president’s condolence was contained in a statement today by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati.

Abati said Jonathan joined them in mourning Tijani “who served his people admirably over many years as a regional minister in the first republic and very senior member of the Kano Emirate Council”.

He said the president believed “the eminent Kano prince and highly revered community leader” would always be remembered and honoured for his laudable contributions to peace, stability and progress in his community and country.

The presidential spokesman said his boss prayed that God receive Galadima’s soul and grant him eternal rest.

According to him, Jonathan also prays that the Almighty bless the good people of Kano with a worthy successor to the late prince.
