The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has said the late Emir of Zazzau, Shehu Idris would be remembered for his fatherly advice and maintenance of peace in his Emirate.
It noted that it received with sadness the news of the death of the Emir who died at the age of 84.
In a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of ACF, Emmanuel Yawe, the forum noted that the late monarch played a prominent role as one of the five Emirs who founded the ACF with its headquarters located in his domain, Kaduna.
“Until his death, he was one of the oldest and highest-ranking traditional rulers not only in the north but also the whole of Nigeria.”
Tribune Online reports that the late Idris was the 18th Emir to rule over the Emirate and in February this year, he celebrated his 45th year anniversary on the throne.
He ruled his Emirate through a period of rapid political, economic, social changes and but never lost his focus on his primary responsibility – the maintenance of peace and progress in his Emirate.
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) condoles with his immediate family, the Zazzau Emirate and the Kaduna State government over this tragic and untimely loss.
“The forum will miss his fatherly advice on all issues that were tabled before him,” it declared.
