Eko Hot Blog gathered that the representative of the Emir of Borgu Kingdom in Niger State, Mr. Mike Nwaede, who was also present, defined the demise of the former Seriki Hausawa, Alhaji Sanni Kabiru, as an enormous hit to the Hausa community in Lagos.

Narrating the deceased as a detrabalised leader who was focused on championing peace, he noted that the shoes he left were huge. He, therefore, summoned the support of the council of Chiefs and other Hausa leaders in the state, to ensure that the bequests left behind by his successor were built upon.

He said: “I do not doubt in my mind that after his divergence, his first son that has been appointed to take over his throne which we consider as a very big shoe, will continue the good work his father started. We pray that God will give him the ability, wisdom, and knowledge to carry out the tremendous task he has seen himself intervening in and ensure his father’s labor is not in vain.
