A heartfelt condolence has been extended by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Dasuki family, the government and people of Sokoto State on the death of the 18th Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Ibrahim Dasuki, father of embattled former NSA, Sambo Dasuki.

The President’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Shehu Garba issued a statement that the President also commiserated with the Jama’atul Nasril Islam (JNI) and the Supreme Council of Islamic Affairs over the demise of the remarkable traditional ruler that devoted his life, tenure of office to the promotion of peaceful coexistence and tolerance among diverse ethnic groups in Nigeria.

According to President Buhari, apart from modernizing the traditional institution to bring it in tune with changing times, he believes that the late Ibrahim Dasuki, who died on Monday at the age of 93, will be long remembered for his role in the creation of the present local government system in the country.

President Buhari prayed that Almighty Allah will comfort the family of his Eminence, grant the deceased eternal rest and reward his good virtues with Paradise.
