The Emir of Keffi, HRH (Dr) Yamusa Chindo III has described Amb. TY Buratai, the former Chief of Army Staff is a man of exceptional wisdom, doggedness and humility.
The Emir made these remarks in a congratulatory message to the retired Army Chief. Amb. Buratai will be turbaned next week as the Garkuwan Keffi by the Royal Father.
He said, ” Excellency Ambassador Buratai is a man of exceptional wisdom and humility. A man with an unshaken belief in the unity and peaceful coexistence of his people. In short words, Ambassador Buratai is “a gift” not only to the people of keffi but to Nigeria in general. I celebrate with you for your doggedness, your amiable love for friends, your innate love for the nation, and your desire to see a better Nigeria, and I rejoice with you because you deserve this honour that has come your way at this particular time. May Allah continue to guide you as you become the Garkuwan Keffi.
Amb. Buratai has been a subject of the Keffi Emirate since the late 1990s when he acquired farmland there and is now a resident of the Emirate.
