Eldest son of the late Talban Bauchi Dr Ibrahim Tahir, Alhaji Tahir Ibrahim Tahir, has been turbaned the new Talban Bauchi by Emir of Bauchi Alhaji Muhammadu Rilwanu Suleimanu Adamu. He is now the 4th Talban Bauchi.
Talba in Bauchi traditional institution literally means mirror of the emir as he is an officer who supervises activities of judges in the emirate and report back to the emir. Conferring him with title at his palace in Bauchi at the weekend, the emir urged the communities in the emirate to continue to pray for sustainable peace and stability in the country in view of the current security challenges bedevilling the country.
Rilwanu urged leaders to be fair and just in dealing with their followers and advised the new Talban Bauchi to be patient and carry all along towards the development of the emirate.
“Late Dr Ibrahim Tahir was an icon that left many legacies and a vacuum that will be difficult to feel; you should try to emulate him, copy his life style in order to protect the dignity of traditional institutions.
The new Talban Bauchi Alhaji Tahir urged the Federal Government to give constitutional role to traditional rulers for the development of the country and pledged to justify the confidence reposed in him.
