In a passionate address, Alhaji Ibrahim Mohammed Ajia expressed his profound gratitude to His Royal Highness for the honour of bestowing upon him the prestigious traditional title of Dan Amanar Fune, a recognition he described as a life-changing honour and a call he holds with utmost reverence.

“I am deeply humbled to stand here today, not only to celebrate the Emir’s quarter-century of leadership but to publicly thank him for the trust reposed in me with the title of Dan Amanar Fune. It is a symbol of love and trust, and I pledge to continue to uphold the virtues of integrity, service, and loyalty to the Emirate,”

Ajia extended special appreciation to the Governor of Yobe State, Hon. Mai Mala Buni, and members of his cabinet for their relentless support to the traditional institution and their commitment to peace and development in the state.

Ajia also acknowledged the unwavering backing of the Speaker of the Yobe State House of Assembly, Hon. Buba Ciroma Macio and the entire members of Yobe State House of Assembly.

In a moving tribute to the late governor of Yobe state Senator Mamman Ali, Ajia described him as a guiding light who first introduced him to the intricacies of the traditional institution in Yobe.

“The late Senator Mamman Ali was more than a mentor; he was a bridge between tradition and modern governance. His impact on my life and contributions to the Emirate remains indelible.”

He further appreciated Engineer Abubakar Aliyu, former Deputy Governor of Yobe State, for his steadfast support and wise counsel during his years of service, acknowledging the pivotal roles played by such leaders in promoting harmony between government and the traditional institutions.

Ajia paid homage to all traditional leaders across the state and those who traveled from neighboring states such as Borno, Jigawa, Gombe and Bauchi, to honor the Emir and the Emirate. Their solidarity, he noted, speaks volumes about the unity and brotherhood among Nigeria’s royal institutions.

Particularly, Ajia expressed gratitude to Senator Anyim Pius Anyim, GCON, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, whose endorsement and goodwill laid the groundwork for his relationship with the Fune Emirate.

“Distinguished Senator Anyim believed in me and created pathways for my association with the royal court. For this, I remain eternally thankful,” he said.

Concluding his address, Alhaji Ajia offered heartfelt thanks to the Emir of Ilorin, Mai-Martaba, Sheikh (Dr) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, CFR who granted approval for his turbaning and for his inspirational and visionary leadership.

The Dan Amanar Fune reserved special appreciation for his friends, family, and well-wishers from across Nigeria and the diaspora. “Your encouragement, prayers, and presence here today remind me that I am not alone. I am forever grateful for your unwavering support.”

The silver jubilee celebration of Emir Dr. Idris Saleh’s reign was not just a festivity but a reaffirmation of the values of service, tradition, and unity.
