The Gabi of Lokoja, Alhaji Suleiman Baba Ali has urged the new Maigari of Lokoja in Kogi State, to exhibit good leadership qualities of the late Maigari of Lokoja, Dr. Kabir Mohammadu Maikarfi, in promoting peace and stability in his Kingdom.
The new Maigari, Alhaji Ibrahim Gambo Kabir, received his Staff of Office, from Gov. Yahaya Bello on Friday.
The traditional title holder made the call in his congratulatory message to the monarch on his coronation, on Friday in Lokoja.
“Your late father, the Maigari of Lokoja. Dr. Kabir Mohammadu Maikarfi, may his soul rest in peace, was a symbol of unity, not only within the kingdom, but also in the entire Northern Nigeria and the country in general.
“I am confident that you will exhibit such leadership qualities and much more.
“As I continue to pray for your success, I look forward to your contributions in uplifting the people of this emirate in particular and Nigeria as a whole.
“I wish to assure you of my support to leave a legacy,” he said.
Speaking on the outgoing governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, Baba Ali, who is also the Maitawalin Arewa Nupe extolled Bello, saying he served Kogi with “dedication and uncommon zeal.”
He said Governor Bello has done his best in contributing to the development of the state. But there is no doubt that Kogi is not bereft of critics, and strident criticisms are made on any subject, and that gives the impression as though nothing is achieved.
” I pray Allah to grant him all his heart desires and protect him,” Baba Ali prayed.
