Tuggar said this in a condolence message issued by his media aide, Alkasim Abdulkadir, on Sunday in Bauchi.
He described Sule-Katagum as a respected elder, a trusted leader, and a devoted son of Katagum, whose wisdom, humility, and unwavering service touched countless lives.
“Today, Bauchi State and the Katagum Emirate have lost one of their finest sons. His counsel, kindness, and commitment to the welfare of his people will be sorely missed,” he said.
Tuggar extended his deepest condolences to the Emir of Katagum, the Katagum Emirate Council, the family of the deceased, and the people of the state.
He prayed to Allah to forgive his shortcomings, grant him Aljannatul Firdaus, and comfort all those grieving this painful loss.
