Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, on Saturday, presented the staff of office to Ishaku Tagwai Sambo as the 5th Chief of Moro’a, a First Class Chiefdom in the state.
The ceremony, which took place in Manchok, followed Sambo’s confirmation as the successor to his late father, Chief Tagwai Sambo, who reigned for 58 years until his death in 2021.
Addressing the gathering, Governor Sani urged the new monarch to lead with fairness and compassion, describing the appointment as a responsibility entrusted by the people and endorsed by the laws of the state.
“You are succeeding a colossus, the late Chief Tagwai Sambo, your father, who reigned for 58 remarkable years and was known for peace, patience, and purpose,” he said.
The governor called on residents of the Chiefdom to support their new traditional ruler, saying his administration recognises traditional institutions as key stakeholders in promoting peace, security, and development.
In his acceptance speech, Chief Ishaku Sambo expressed appreciation for the trust placed in him and pledged to sustain the legacy of his late father.
“Our Chiefdom enjoyed remarkable peace, prosperity, and development under his reign. I am committed to preserving that legacy and serving with humility and diligence,” he said.
Dignitaries at the event included Deputy Governor Hadiza Balarabe, Deputy Speaker Henry Magaji, Senator Danjuma La’ah, Hon. Mathew Kuzalio, Gen. Zamani Lekwot (rtd), former Deputy Governor James Bawa Magaji, and the Emir of Zazzau, Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, among others.
