I am saddened at the untimely death today of Hassan Danbaba, the Magajin Dan Garin Sokoto and grandson of Sir Ahmadu Bello, former Premier of the Northern Region. Indeed I was together with Alhaji Danbaba a couple of days ago at the home of a mutual friend in Abuja, and in Oct 2021 announced my my entry into the African Democratic Congress (ADC) political party at the Ahmadu Bello Hall of his Stonehedge Hotel in Abuja.
That venue was a deliberate decision I took as a symbolic gesture of friendship to his family. May the Magajin’s soul Rest In Peace. My sincere condolences to his family, the Sokoto Sultanate, and the Government and people of Sokoto State
