In a heartfelt tribute, Honourable Abubakar Kabir Abubakar, Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Appropriation, has mourned the passing of Alhaji Abbas Sunusi, the Galadiman Kano, who died at the age of 92. The late Galadiman Kano passed away in Kano on Tuesday and was laid to rest the following day in accordance with Islamic rites.
Expressing his condolences, Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar described the news of Alhaji Abbas Sunusi’s passing as a source of profound sadness and shock. He praised the late Galadiman Kano for leading a peaceful and exemplary life, which he deemed worthy of emulation.
The Honourable Member highlighted the special connection between the late Galadiman Kano and the people of Bichi, where he was born during the tenure of his father, the late Emir Muhammad Sanusi I, as the district head of Bichi. This bond, he noted, has continued to foster a sense of belonging among the people of Bichi, a constituency Hon. Abubakar currently represents in the Federal House of Representatives.
In his statement, Hon. Abubakar extended his condolences to the Kano State APC Chairman, Alhaji Abdullahi Abbas Sunusi, who lost his father at a time when his guidance and wisdom were most needed.
“On behalf of my family and the entire people of Bichi Federal Constituency, I pray to Almighty Allah to grant the late Galadiman Kano, Alhaji Abbas Sunusi, eternal rest and Aljannatul Firdausi,” said Hon. Abubakar Kabir Abubakar.
The passing of Alhaji Abbas Sunusi marks the end of an era for Kano State and the Kano Emirate Council, leaving behind a legacy of peace and leadership that will be remembered for generations to come.
