In a congratulatory message issued on Thursday in Abuja, Atiku described the investiture of the new royal father as “timely and of immense importance, going by the pride of place of Igala people in Nigeria.”
The Wazirin Adamawa added that the new monarch has all the leadership attributes to sail the ship of his people to a fruitful destination. “The new Ata Igala is remarkably versatile, knowledgeable, equitable and experienced in human management and sustaining ancestral cultural heritage. He’s capable of fusing innovation with tradition and creating a conducive atmosphere for genuine peace, progress and development.”
