Mr Malami also condoled with the Emir of Gwandu over the death of some traditional title holders in the emirate, including the Ubandoman Gwandu, Halidu Sa’adu, Tafidan Gwandu; Yahya Bawa and District Head of Aliero.
Responding, the Emir of Gwandu, Mr Ilyasu-Bashar, thanked the minister for what he termed as “home-coming”.
The emir called for more unity, obedience to the rule of law and respect for constituted authorities.
He said, already, relevant authorities had predicted the occurrence of the flood, which he said, should serve as a pointer to the imperatives of respecting the authorities. (NAN)
