The Walin Tikau emirate council of Yobe state, Alhaji Samaila Musa FCNA, has thanked His Royal Highness, the emir of Tikau, Alhaji Dr. Muhammadu Abubakar Ibn Grema LLD, for conferring on him the traditional title of Walin Tikau.
Alhaji Samaila Musa FCNA, a former federal director and now the general manager of Yobe Flour and Feed Mills Limited, said, “I thank God for everything, and I had to thank His Royal Highness and his council members, especially Chiroman Tikau and Alhaji Ibrahim Talba CON, for this kind gesture.
Alhaji Samaila Musa disclosed this while speaking to journalists after the presentation of his appointment letter. “Because I took it as a dream, when the letter was read in front of me and handed over to me, I went through it, and then I said thank you, Almighty Allah, for this kind gesture.
“I have to appreciate His Royal Father, Alhaji Dr Muhammadu Abubakar Ibn Grema LLD, the emir of Tikau, and his council members, because everybody has contributed towards this appointment, and my prayers are that God Almighty Allah will guide me and protect me so that I will give all the necessary advice and contribution towards the emirate and the entire people of the emirate.” he added.
According to Wali, in any society, when you don’t have a leader, it’s just like a cow without a head, and we thank God Almighty Allah for giving us the emirate, and Alhaji Muhammadu Abubakar Ibn Grema is the emir of the emirate. He has been a kind man, and he loves his people.
“Therefore, everybody should be loyal to the emirate, no matter how little, because with the little contributions from all quarters, the emirate will grow to the highest level, and the whole world will know that yes, this emirate has intellectuals, has all the kinds of people within that emirate, and they are contributing towards the development of the emirate.
Alhaji Musa further revealed that we should learn to love each other and open our hands so that everybody will benefit from the emirate and the community as a whole. Adding to that, I know that with my position as Walin Tikau, I will definitely give all the necessary advice and the contributions that will guide the emirate towards success, Inshallah.
“We have challenges, and these challenges are mountable. If we stand together in unity, we must be able to solve our problems ourselves. Nobody will come from somewhere to solve that problem for us; we have to solve it ourselves, that is all about.” Wali said.
