New Emir Of Borgu Takes Over by dahaz(m): 10:38am On Nov 22, 2015 |
Twenty two days after the transition of the
late Emir of Borgu Kingdom HRH Sen. Dr
Haliru Dantoro, Kitoro 111, his son HRH
Mohammad S. Haliru Dantoro, has taken over
the stool.
The city of Borgu literally stood still as royal
fathers and dignitaries arrived early
yesterday to witness the traditional ceremony
beside the palace grounds.
Visibly pleased with the warm, joyous
reception given him by the cheering crowd,
the new Emir thanked President Muhammadu
Buhari and Niger Governor Abubakar Sani
Bello for their support after the transition of
his late father.
He appreciated the Etsu Nupe and Chairman
of the Niger State Council of Traditional
Rulers and national leader of the All
Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Ahmed
Tinubu (Jagaban Borgu) and other eminent
friends “for standing firmly with us during
our trying moments.”
The ceremony of entering the palace also
known as ‘the Kibokpen Rites’ represents the
formal entry into and the taking over of the
palace along with the presentation of the
royal staff of office to the new Emir.
Having chosen to select the royal staff of
Kitoro, the new Emir chose to be addressed
as ‘Kitoro 1V.’
He called on his people to join hands with
him and the government to maintain peace
in the country.
“Let us join hands in line with government
change policies to promote education,
cultural revival, industries, health care,
housing, mining, and tourism.
“Together, working side by side, putting our
differences aside, we shall achieve a lot for
our people and nation,” he said. http://thenationonlineng.net/new-emir-of-borgu-takes-over/ |
