The Nigeria’s Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), on Tuesday, paid condolence visits to the different homes of some notable Kano great people who died recently.

Speaking in the home of late Dr Bashir Tofa, the Vice President described the late politician as “a very unique Nigerian who was a bridge builder, made friends, and built relationships across the country, and made serious contributions in discourse about the country and about national development.”

At the Tudun Yola Quarters Mosque, where the renowned Islamic scholar, late Sheikh Ahmad Ibrahim Bamba popularly called Dr. Ahmed BUK, resided, the VP, while praying for the deceased family, praised the late Sheikh’s teachings, noting that his teachings were “of peace, brotherliness, fairness and justice,” describing him as one of the best known Sunni scholars in the world.

Condoling with the family of the late community leader, Alhaji Hassan Naif, the Vice President urged the family members to preserve the good deeds of their father, stating that “the legacy is one that must be cherished and one that you must promote in every possible way. The legacy of peace and brotherhood with everyone, the legacy of community service.”
