Gov. Idris thanked the group for the condolence visit, saying that "the loss is not only for his immediate family but for all of us."

He described late Sheik Abubakar Giro as an honest, humble, patient and tolerant human being, who always put forward the interest of people above his personal interest.

Extending the sect's condolence earlier, the JIBWIS National Chairman described the death of the deceased as a loss not only to Kebbi State but to Nigeria, Africa and the entire Muslim Ummah.

He said Abubakar Giro was a pillar in the propagation of Islam not only in Nigeria but across many African countries and prayed Almighty Allah to forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds and reward him with Jannatul Firdaus.

The Clerics also offered special prayer for the deceased's eternal rest, other deceased Muslims as well as restoration of peace to all parts of Nigeria.
