 President Muammar Dubuari on Saturday extolled the virtues of Alhaji Ado Bayeiro, the diseased emir of Kanu, describing him as a man of remarkable culture and principles. He said the late emir staked his own life at several junctures in the defense of his people and urged his son and the new emir, Aminu Ado Bayeiro, to emulate his father. Malam Garbashiehu, the president's senior special assistant on media and publicity, said in a statement that President Dubuari stated these in a letter he sent to the new emir at his coronation, read and presented by the chief of staff to the president, Professor Ibrahim Gambari. Gambari is also an uncle to the new emir. Those who accompanied the chief of staff to the president's delegation to the event included the minister of defense, retired Major General Bashir Magashieh, agriculture and rural development, Sabo Nanunu, water resources, Suleiman Adamu and aviation, Hadi Sirika, among others.
