The Emir of Gusau in
Zamfara State, Ibrahim Bello, has conferred a traditional title of “Garzon
Gusau” on the state governor, Abdul’aziz Yari.
The Emir announced the
conferment of the new traditional title on the governor at his palace in Gusau
on Sunday when the governor led the state government delegation to the palace
for Sallah homage.
The News Agency of Nigeria
(NAN) reports that the title Garzo means “Hero”.
Mr Bello said the Gusau
Emirate Council decided to confer the title on the governor following his good
contributions for the development of the emirate and people of the state.
“We confer him with this
title for the great support given to the traditional institutions across the
state, especially the construction of new palace to this emirate.
“It is part of the
tradition of this emirate to honour leaders and people of the emirate who
contributed to the development of the emirate and entire state,” he said.
The emir also thanked the
state government for executing various development projects across the state
and pledged continued support to the state government in executing various
development projects for the citizens of the state.
Governor Yari thanked the
emirate for the honour given to him and assured them that he would continue to
work for the development of the state.
He said he was at the
emirate for Sallah homage.
“It is my annual activity
to visit our royal fathers during Sallah period.
“We are using this medium
to discuss with them on how to find lasting solution to the dwindling security
situation facing the state,” he said.
Mr Yari, who a day before
said he had resigned his role as the chief security officer, urged traditional
rulers in the state to call meetings to discuss the security challenges in
their respective areas.
The governor was
accompanied by the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Sanusi Rikiji,
Secretary to the State Government, Abdullahi Shinkafi; and state APC Chairman,
Lawal Liman and some other officials of the state.
