Bola Tinubu, the All Progressives Congress, APC, national leader, has congratulated the new Emir of Zazzau Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli.
In a statement on Wednesday, October 7, 2020, by his spokesman Tunde Rahman, Tinubu also commended Kaduna Governor Nasir Ahmed el Rufai for making a good choice in Ambassador Bamalli.
He said: “Ambassador Nuhu Bamalli is a prominent diplomat, tested administrator, and a first class traditional title-holder. I congratulate him on his appointment as the 19th Emir of Zazzau.
“My congratulations also to Governor Nasir el-Rufai for making a prudent appointment.
“As Magajin Garin Zazzau, Ambassador Bamalli distinguished himself as an excellent high chief of the Zazzau Emirate, just as he performed brilliantly well as top diplomat, serving Nigeria as Ambassador to Thailand.
“Like his immediate-past predecessor, Alhaji Shehu Idris, who died last month after 45 years on the throne, Ambassador Bamalli is also a highly detribalised Nigerian and a friend of all. I urge him to continue in that fashion and consolidate on the tremendous gains recorded by the late Emir.
“As the first Emir from the Mallawa Ruling House in 100 years, the burden of history is on Emir Bamalli. I pray to Almighty Allah to grant him divine wisdom, guide, and protect him so he can steer the ship of the Emirate successfully.
“May his reign bring forth peace, development, and prosperity to the Zazzau Emirate, and indeed to Northern Nigeria.”
