The Emir of Keffi, Dr Shehu Yamusa III, has urged the senator elect of Nasarawa West Senatorial District, Ahmed Wadada to redouble efforts in rendering selfless service to humanity.
The traditional ruler gave the advice on Friday in Keffi when Wadada led a delegation of his campaign council to seek royal blessings of the Emir, following his victory at the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections.
The Emir also advised the senator-elect to shun wealth accumulation and continue to channel his resources towards improving the living conditions of his constituents especially the less privileged ones.
Yamusa said: “I want to use this medium to advise you to continue to shoulder the responsibilities of providing for your people. Don’t focus on wealth accumulation as you are going to the Senate and as a man of the people and you are known to be generous to your people. I want you to sustain such noble spirit,” he stated.
The royal father also encouraged the senator – elect to endeavor to reward the people that stood by him throughout the period of electioneering. “Don’t neglect them, try as much as you can to reward them handsomely.”
Earlier, Wadada in his remarks, said he was at the Emir’s Palace to seek for his royal blessings, adding that he holds Yamusa in high esteem.
The SDP senator-elect thanked the Emir for his tremendous support to his family and political struggle since he ventured into politics.
Wadada said,” I have no place or home that I am proud of better than Keffi. Keffi has done everything for me and my extended family.
” Since after INEC declared me as the winner of the election, I have made up my mind that this palace is the first place that I will visit to seek for royal blessings before I visit any other place.
” I will forever remain grateful to the Keffi Emirate Council and the entire people of Keffi for the overwhelming support given to me in the just- concluded elections.”
In attendance were the Chairman, Advisory Council of Wadada Campaign Organisation, Prof. Silas Gyar, its Director-General, Alhaji Bello Zakari and former Commissioner of Environment, Nasarawa State, Danladi Madaki, among others.
