…Says It’s Testimony Of Ex-Army Chief’s Commitment To Nigeria
The Olowu of Kuta, His Royal Majesty, Oba Adekunle Makama, Tegbosun III, has congratulated former Chief of Army Staff, CoAS, and Nigerian High Commissioner to Benin Republic, Lt.-Gen Tukur Buratai, rtd, over his new chieftaincy title of ‘Garkuwan Keffi’ at the weekend.
The Olowu, in a congratulatory message he personally signed and made available to the media, commended the former army chief for the recognition and honour as the ‘Garkuwan Keffi,’ meaning ‘Shield,’ conferred on him by the Keffi Emirate Council, led by Emir of Keffi, Dr. Shehu Chindo-Yamusa.
The Olowu maintained that the eminent personalities across the country and the crowd that witnessed the turbaning of Ambassador Buratai at the emir’s palace in Keffi Local Government Area of the state on Saturday was a testimony to his good works and contribution to the Nigerian Army, which he (Buratai) served meritoriously, and his selfless service to humanity.
The monarch said, “ I want to congratulate Ambassador TY Buratai for this new chieftaincy title of ‘Garkuwan Keffi,’ meaning a ‘Shield.’ This is another testimony to the fact that he is loved by many, despite attempts by detractors to paint him black. I urged him to work harder because the reward of hard work is more work.
“This also testifies to the fact that people appreciate what you have done and are still doing for the country. This new title should further reinvigorate you to do more for posterity.
“On behalf of my good people of Owu Kuta in Ayedire Local Government Area of Osun State, congratulations!
