“Transparency in things he does and the parameter set out in this aspect were the guiding principles of Khaleepha in everything he does, both in religion or otherwise. The Al Isobatul Qadirriyat al islamiya of Nigeria as a body will continue to remember him,” a statement by his family read.

“We are proud of the contributions he made during his time, which are still relevant today as well as for future generations.

“Although, he is not here with us in the physical form, Khaleepha still remains dear to us, as all that he lived for is still meaningful to us,”

The statement described the late Khaleepha as an iconic figure whose annual remembrance should not be seen as ritual, but a way of appreciating God for a life well spent.
