The Emir of Gwandu, Alhaji Muhammadu Iliyasu-Bashar, has commended the Governor of Kebbi State, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, for donating sets of clothes to the four emirates in the state for Eid-el-Fitr celebrations.
The benefiting emirates are Gwandu, Argungu, Yauri, and Zuru.
Alhaji Laminu Shehu Kuwwa, Secretary to the Kebbi State Council of Chiefs, disclosed this in a statement issued to journalists in Birnin Kebbi on Thursday.
He quoted the Emir, who also serves as Chairman of the Kebbi State Council of Chiefs, as saying, **“We are highly grateful to His Excellency, Comrade Dr. Nasir Idris, Kauran Gwandu, for his magnanimity.
“This is not the first time; last year, our amiable governor extended a similar gesture to the four emirates.
“I also take this opportunity to appreciate the governor for the continued support that the traditional institution has been enjoying under his administration.”**
The royal father, speaking on behalf of the other three emirates, pledged their unwavering support for the policies and programs of the present administration to ensure the delivery of democratic dividends to the people of Kebbi State.
On the Eid-el-Fitr prayer, the Emir announced that it would be observed at the usual time and location at the Eid praying ground, “as soon as the new moon of Shawwal is sighted.”
