The Emir of Rano, Alhaji Tafida Abubakar Ila Autan Bawo, has died at the Nassarawa Hospital in Kano.
Rano is one of the four emirates created out of the old Kano emirate by Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
President Muhammadu Buhari has since commiserated with Kano State Government and Council of Chiefs over passing of thw traditional ruler.
In a statement by presidential spokesman Garba Shehu, thw president joined the family and Rano Emirate in mourning the royal father, saying his words of wisdom, nobility and decency will be sorely missed, especially at a time the government is relying on traditional rulers to sensitize citizens on directives for safety.
President Buhari urged thw monarch’s family and the Emirate to find solace in the good works of the deceased and ensure his legacies are carried on.
The President prayed that the Almighty God will forgive the shortcomings of the Emir, remember his good works and grant his soul eternal rest.
