By Abubakar Imam
In loving memory of a dedicated public servant who will always be remembered as one of the root pillars of Establishment of old Kano State (now Kano State and Jigawa State) and cherished father and Grand Father, Alh. Imam Abdullahi, whose legacy continues to inspire us 25 years after his passing. His unwavering commitment to serving others left an indelible mark on our community and beyond. With humility and compassion, he navigated the complexities of public service, always putting the needs of others before his own. His integrity, kindness, and tireless work ethic served as guiding lights for those around him.
Though Abba (as we fondly call him) may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the lives he touched and the positive change he enacted. His legacy serves as a reminder of the profound impact one person can make in the world, and his memory will forever be cherished in our hearts. Now he is survived by 25 children (11boys 14 girls) amongst which there is 1 PhD Holder, 17 Graduates and 7 Diploma Holders; He is also survived by 53 Grandchildren.
As we reflect on his life and legacy, let us honor his dedication, service, and love. May we strive to carry forward his values and emulate his example of selflessness and devotion to others. Though he may be gone, his legacy of service and love endures, shaping the world for generations to come. Forever remembered, forever missed, and forever loved. Allah ya Gafarta ma sa, Ameen!
