The National Leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said the death of the
Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris, is the end of an era.
Tinubu stated this in a
condolence message released from his media office.
He described the late monarch as
a “father and a friend” to him.
“I’m saddened by the news of the
passing on Sunday of the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris.
“His passing marks the end of an
era in Zazzau Emirate and indeed in the North. As the longest reigning
traditional monarch in the emirate and perhaps the North, Alhaji Idris ruled
with dedication and distinction,” part of the statement read.
Tinubu also hailed Alhaji Idris
as a detribalised Nigerian, who was “close to many Northern leaders as he was
close to Southern leaders.
The former Lagos State governor
further prayed for the repose of the soul of the late Emir, who passed on at
the age of 84.
He died at the 44 Military
Hospital in Kaduna after a brief illness.
