Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi II, has lost his uncle, Ambassador Ado Sanusi, to death.
The deceased was the Dan Iyan Kano.
In a condolence message by his spokesman, Malam Garba Shehu, on Thursday, President Muhammadu Buhari described Ado Sanusi as a “distinguished diplomat and remarkable statesman who had served his country and his immediate community with dedication.”
He noted that the great contributions of the late diplomat would be remembered for many years to come.
Buhari also extended condolences to the Emir of Kano, his family, the Kano State Government and the people of the State at large over “this enormous loss of a remarkable gentleman and committed public servant.”
Emir Sanusi lost another uncle Alhaji Tijjani Sanusi in September 2016.
Until his death, Tijjani Sanusi was the Wakilin Yamma of Kano.
