Emir of Daura, Alhaji Umar Faruk-Umar, has called on Nigerians to pray for the success of their leaders for the development of the country.
The emir made the call on Saturday at his Palace in Daura shortly after turbanning Alhaji Hamza Suleiman, who is the state’s Commissioner for Environment as the ‘Sadaukin-Kasar Hausa’.
He said that Suleiman was turbaned in recognition of his contributions to the development of the state, and for his philanthropic support to the needy.
Faruk-Umar urged the people to continue to pray for the President, respect their leaders, while the leaders should do justice to their followers.
The emir said, “Every leader will want to see that his country or state develops, its economy improved and there is peace and stability during his tenure.”
He urged the new traditional title holder to continue to support the state’s administration towards implementing policies and programmes that would move the state forward.
Appreciating the gesture, Suleiman, thanked the emir for finding him worthy of the title while pledging his continued loyalty to the Daura Emirate Council.
He said that he engaged in acts of philanthropy in order to alleviate the hardship faced by the less-privileged, bolster education and social welfare of children, youths, women and displaced persons.
Suleiman hoped that the reward for those acts of charity would be bestowed on his late parents who sponsored his education and gave him the required moral training.
