The father of former Governor of Kaduna State, Alhaji Ramalan Yero, is dead.
The death was confirmed by Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday.
He wrote: “It is with a heavy heart, yet deep gratitude to Almighty Allah (SWT), that I received the sad news of the passing of Alhaji Ramalan Yero, father of H.E. Alhaji Muktar Ramalan Yero, former Governor of Kaduna State.
The governor described the late Alhaji Ramalan as a respected traditional title holder, religious leader, and elder statesman.
He said the late Turakin Dawakin Zazzau would be remembered for his dedication, hard work, and his devotion to community service.
“With his passing, the Zazzau Emirate has lost a voice of wisdom, Kaduna State has lost a statesman, and the Muslim Ummah has lost a pillar of strength and guidance.
“We pray that Allah (SWT) forgive his shortcomings and grant him Aljannatul Firdaus. May the Almighty also grant H.E. Ramalan Muktar Yero and his family have the strength and patience to bear this irreplaceable loss.”
