The Kaduna State Government has declared Wednesday, September 23, 2020 as public holiday to mourn the late Emir of Zazzau, Alh. (Dr.) Shehu Idris.

This was as the Kaduna government announced three days of mourning for the late emir starting from Monday Sept. 21 to Wednesday 23rd Sept.

Igbere TV had on Sunday reported the death of the Zazzau emir, at age 84. The monarch spent 45 years on the throne having ascended to the throne in 1975 at the age of 36.

In a statement made available to Igbere TV, Monday, signed by Muyiwa Adekeye, spokesman to the Governor, he said, "residents are to use this period to pray for his gentle soul."

"Public offices will open as normal and official functions are expected to continue on Monday and Tuesday, while there will be a public holiday on Wednesday to honour his memory and hold prayers.

"Flags will fly at half-mast from Monday, 21 September to Wednesday, 23rd September 2020," the statement added.

Igbere TV reports that Emir Idris died at an Army 44 reference hospital in Kaduna after a short admission. He has since been buried in accordance with Islamic rites.

K

RIP

Mehn see people

RIP to the Chief. But The Chief of Numana was murdered by Fulanis, no respect for the King whatever. The Agom Adara, a first class Chief, was murdered by Fulani's but instead of respect, Elrufai scrapped his Chiefdom, dragging his people under a small enclave called Kajuru Emirate.
God dey

First Class Emir. If this man sends your name to any Federal agency nobody turns it down.

May Allah forgive his shortcomings and grant him jannah.

Allah jikan shi da rahama

Nah eh! No qualms
This is so unsophisticated

Rip odogwu from the north

When El Rufai killed a religious leader in Kaduna was any holiday given. Ndiala

Eya

RIP sir!!

A King who minds his business will have no problems with a sitting Governor. He will be revered and deferred to. Lamido Sanusi sitting on Royal Throne was a disaster waiting to happen! He was a misfit on the throne! As a CBN Governor he couldn’t be trusted to act with the maturity expected of a government banker. He is best suited for the Ivory Tower where he is headed right now.

The Emir was a nice man.

Meek, selfless and educated.

He can't be compared!

How I wish northern leaders will be like him.

Will his successor be like him?

Honestly he was a nice man.

May God forgive him his sins and grant him Aljanah.

Kaduna and Zazzau Emirate will sorely missed this great man of peace.

I doubt if the small midget will

Guess the rate of our public holidays is synonymous to our development as a country. Fly flags at half mast and let the economy keep running. Dumbass govt!
