Barde, aged 67, was immediately buried at his personal residence in Ungwar Rimi, with thousands of sympathisers in attendance.
The Kaduna State Government and Southern Kaduna Peoples Union have eulogised the first-class chief as a peace-lover who died promoting peace and unity among citizens.
El-Rufai, in a condolence message to the Chikun Traditional Council and the Barde family, described the late chief as a peacemaker who did not flinch from the challenges of modernity but fully embraced the possibilities of diversity.“The accommodating and constructive attitude brought immense socio-economic dividends to the people of Chikun Chiefdom, which is host to many of the most significant investment projects the government has attracted to Kaduna State since 2015,” the governor stated.
