Buhari mourns Emir of Funakaye, Mu’azu Kwairanga III
President Muhammadu Buhari on Sunday expressed sadness over the demise of Alhaji Mu’azu Kwairanga III, First-Class Emir of Funakaye, who died in his sleep on Saturday in Bajoga, Bauchi State.
The Emir died a day after attending the inauguration of the Central Mosque in Kaltungo and few hours after he collected humanitarian assistance dispatched to his people by President Buhari following the losses suffered from devastating floods.
The humanitarian assistance, mostly food items, were delivered through the Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Prof. Isa Pantami, and had not fully been off-loaded when the news of his death spread.
President Buhari in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Sunday, described the deceased as “most committed, most articulate advocate of the less privileged who endeared himself to many with his politeness, kindness and commitment to the well-being of his people.
“His demise has left me as well as many others saddened. He loved working for the common people. He was a proud and dedicated citizen.
“May his soul attain peace. In this time of grief, I express condolences to the family, the government and people of Gombe State,” he said.
