Nigerian Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki has described the late emir of Keffi, Alhaji Muhammadu Chindo-Yamusa II, as a man of peace, whose long reign witnessed phenomenal development of the ancient town of Keffi and Nasarawa State.
Special adviser to the Senate president on Media and Publicity, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in a statement in Abuja, said Senator Saraki received the news of the passing on of the emir with shock and sadness.
He said while Senator Saraki thanked God for the exemplary life, wise counsel and progressive disposition of the royal father, he commiserated with the immediate family of the deceased, Keffi Emirate, the Government and people of Nasarawa State over the irreparable loss.
He urged them to be consoled in view of the fact that the late Monarch lived a selfless life and was a father to all irrespective of religion, ethnicity or political affiliation.
“Late Alhaji Muhammadu Chindo-Yamusa II, was not only a man of peace but a lover of his people. He stood firmly for what he believed in. To him, the interest of the people of Keffi was paramount in all his dealings.
