“And the Governor Wept. Dr. Dikko Umaru Radda, is the governor of Katsina , the home State of the Late President , muhammadu Buhari. But beyond that the duo share a Father and son relationship with the former President seen as the mentor of the Governor.

“And the Governor played significant roles in the burial program ensuring that all went well. However from time to time he couldn't control his emotions even weeping uncontrollably. All through he refused to share in light banters of some of his mates and couldn't be drawn away from the main task of giving his mentor a befitting rite of passage.

“Like the Yorubas would say Eni s'oju ko Dabi Eni s'eyin. Dr. Dikko Umaru Radda Dikko stood with his mentor to the end. May he be consoled by the Almighty.”
