Emir of Daura, Umar Faruk-Umar, has called on Nigerians to pray for the success of their leaders and the development of the country.

The emir made the call on Saturday at his palace in Daura shortly after turbanning Hamza Suleiman, the state’s commissioner for environment, as the ‘Sadaukin-Kasar Hausa’.

Mr Faruk-Umar urged people to continue to pray for the president and respect political officeholders.

The emir said, “Every leader will want to see that his country or state develops, its economy improved, and there is peace and stability during his tenure.”

He urged the new traditional title holder to continue supporting the state’s administration in implementing policies and programmes that would move the state forward.

In a vote of thanks, Mr Suleiman thanked the emir for finding him worthy of the title while pledging his continued loyalty to the Daura Emirate Council.
