The Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Rt. Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, has described the Emir of Yauri in Kebbi State, Dr. Muhammad Zayyanu Abdullahi, as an elder statesman.
Mr. Gbajabiamila, represented by his Chief of Staff Hon. Sanusi Garba Rikiji, stated this during a public lecture organized in Yauri town to celebrate the Silver Jubilee marking the 25th year of Dr. Abdullahi's reign as the 42nd Emir of Yauri.
Rikiji highlighted that the Emir has achieved a lot in his 25 years on the throne.
He further described the Emir of Yauri as a fatherly figure with all the qualities of leadership, exhibiting high levels of dedication and transparency, and contributing significantly to the development of peace and stability in the country.
"Over 25 years, Dr. Muhammad Zayyanu Abdullahi has recorded remarkable achievements and transformed lives in areas such as security, education, economy, banking, finance, and communication.
"Other contributions by the Emir of Yauri include trade, commerce, electrification, roads, rural infrastructure, agriculture, and culture, benefiting not only Yauri Emirate but also Kebbi State and Nigeria as a whole.
“Through political reformation, the monarch successfully brought people closer to the leadership by making wide consultations before taking decisions on critical issues,” Rikiji explained.
In his remarks, the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Yusuf Tanko Sununu, noted that the Emir has united all stakeholders in the Emirate, serving as the backbone for the Emirate's development.
Prof. Nasir Musa Yauri, in a lecture titled “Sarki Zayyanu: Chronicles in the Life of a Prince, a Scholar, and a Philosopher-King,” noted that the Emir has excelled in areas such as education, economy, and security among others.
Prof. Yauri, who is the Vice-Chancellor of Al-Qalam University, Katsina, said the core of the Emir's philosophy is ‘Yauri first.’ He added, "The Emir loves his people and is committed to their welfare.
"For the sake of Yauri, the Emir, Dr. Muhammad Zayyanu, is willing to leave his palace and traverse the length and breadth of Nigeria. Whenever there is a problem, he actively seeks solutions.
“Whether the issue is related to a lack of basic infrastructure like electricity, water, and roads, or insecurity, HRH does not have a political party. According to him, the Emir's political party is Yauri Emirate and anyone who loves Yauri and its people. Both locally and internationally, he is a friend to those who support Yauri and its people,” Prof. Yauri explained.
Among the important dignitaries attending the occasion were Rt. Hon. Sanusi Rikiji, who represented the Chief of Staff to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Femi Gbajabiamila, the Minister of State for Education, Dr. Yusuf Tanko Sununu, and the Vice-Chancellor of Al-Qalam University, Katsina, Prof. Nasir Musa Yauri, among others.
