The Emir said:“We are gathered here to reciprocate the kind gesture done to us by the  Hon Minister of Transportation, Chibuke Rotimi Amaechi, for his whole hearted love and support for us. 

Therefore, it is binding on the Daura traditional emirate to acknowledge the kind gesture. My prayer is for God to give you a higher office.”
