The Emir of Kiyawa, Kaura Namoda Emirate, Major Sanusi Muhammad Asha (Rtd.), has attributed the successes being recorded by the Ahmed Aliyu-led administration to the Governor’s careful selection of competent aides.

He said Governor Aliyu’s choice of aides and cabinet members was highly commendable, noting that it had significantly contributed to the result-oriented leadership being witnessed across the state.

“We were warmly received and accorded first-class treatment, unlike what obtains in many other places.

The Emir thanked Governor Aliyu for inviting him to commission the Gada Central Jumu’at Mosque, describing the gesture as a great honour.
He also called on Nigerians to continue praying for the nation’s leaders to succeed in addressing the challenges facing the country.
