In separate letters to the Governor and the Emir delivered by a delegation led by the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, President Buhari said: “I received the sad news of the death of Ambassador Ado Sanusi, an astute career diplomat.

”Sanusi was a dedicated public servant who served very creditably as Nigeria’s Foreign Service Officer.

In his remarks, Ganduje extended profound gratitude to the President for sending the delegation, and gave assurances of support and loyalty to him on behalf of the people of the State.

At the family house of the deceased, the Galadima of Kano, Abbas Sanusi, his younger brother who received the presidential delegation, commended the President for his support in their moment of grief.

According to the statement, those on the President’s delegation included, the Minister of Defence, retired Maj. Gen. Bashir Magashi and the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Alhaji Sabo Nanono.

Others were the Permanent Secretary, State House, Jalal Arabi; Senior Special Assistants to the President, Sarki Abba and Malam Garba Shehu and the State Chief of Protocol, Amb. Lawal Kazaure.
