Bauchi State Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed, has declared publicly that he has since forgiven the late Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Dr. Idris Abdulaziz Dutsen Tanshi, a highly respected Islamic scholar who passed away three days ago whatever misgivings between them.
The Governor therefore extended his condolences to the family and followers of the late Islamic Cleric, Sheikh Dr. Idris Abdulaziz Dutsen.
Leading a delegation of top government officials, Bala visited the family residence in Dutsen-Tanshi area of Bauchi metropolis to offer his sympathies on behalf of himself, his family, the Government, and the people of Bauchi State.
He described the late Cleric as a fearless preacher who was committed to the true teachings of Islam, justice, and the rule of law just as he also acknowledged that the state had lost a voice of wisdom, learning, and spiritual guidance.
