President Muhammadu Buhari shares in grief over passing of traditional ruler of Mangu, Mishakagham Mwaghavul, His Royal Highness, Da Nelson A. Bakfur, who will be sorely missed by his people, and the nation.
The President sends condolences to Government and people of Plateau State, particularly Mangu Local Council, Mangu Traditional Council and Mwaghavul-speaking people in North Central, urging solace in the good works of the traditional ruler, whose interest in the peace and unity of the country was evident.
President Buhari believes the departed leader stood for what was right in community development, lived to promote the values of fairness and justice as custodian of the tradition, and roundly advocated trust in God and love for neighbours and visitors.
As the revered traditional ruler cedes the throne of his ancestors, the President urges family, friends and associates to approximate his values, and remain steadfast in sustaining his legacies.
