The Zamfara State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has expressed profound sorrow at the passing of the Emir of Gusau, Alhaji Ibrahim Bello, describing his death as a monumental loss to both the state and the nation.
Emir Bello, aged 71, died in the early hours of Friday at Nizamiye Hospital in Abuja after a prolonged illness, InfoStride News reported earlier.
In a condolence message released on behalf of the APC State Working Committee, party chairman Tukur Umar Danfulani paid tribute to the late monarch as a “visionary and exemplary” leader.
“Late Ibrahim Bello was a great leader known for his humility, strong faith, and unwavering dedication to the progress of his people,” the statement read. “He upheld the values of his forebears, championed the development of the Gusau Emirate, and remained steadfast in defending Islamic principles and human rights.”
Danfulani extended the APC’s condolences to the Zamfara State Government, the Gusau Emirate Council, the State Council of Chiefs, and the entire people of Zamfara State.
The party prayed for the repose of Emir Bello’s soul, asking Allah to grant him eternal rest in Aljannatul Firdaus.
