Ahmad Muhammadu Wabi III, the Emir of Jama’are, has died.
Muhammadu Wabi was one of Africa’s longest-reigning traditional monarchs, reigning for more than fifty years.
In a statement signed by his spokesman, Garba Shehu, President Muhammadu Buhari described the Monarch’s death as “the end of an era.”
The Emir was laid to rest on Sunday in accordance with Islamic rituals, and Buhari hailed his death as a profound loss not only to Bauchi State but to Nigeria as a whole.
“The late Emir was a decent man who had spent fifty years serving his people without any controversy trailing his remarkable reign.
“I wish to extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family, the Jama’are Emirate Council, the government and the entire people of Bauchi State over the death of this great traditional ruler,”
He stated his case.
He prayed for the late monarch’s soul to rest in peace and for Allah to bless him with Aljanna for his excellent acts.
