Former presidential candidate, Gbenga Hashim, has paid a condolence visit to the family of late Sheikh Dahiru Usman Bauchi, a leader within the Tijaniyaa sufi order and one of the largest Islamic organizations in the world.
Hashim, who shares the same birthday (28th June) with the late cleric, spoke in Hausa, which he later translated. He said, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi stood out in an era where religiosity is often divorced from godliness, noting that while many claim religious authority, few truly fear God.
“Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi was not just a religious man; he was highly learned, informed, and above all, a man who genuinely feared God,” Hashim said.
Dr Hashim came with a large delegation which included Sheikh Haliru Abdulahi Maraya (Kaduna), Dr Ibrshim Umar (Kaduna), Mr Kamaldeen Adebayo Sanni (FCT), Hajia Rabi Musa (Nassarawa), Mr Ezekiel Dinfa (Plateau) and Cordinators of the Hashim Organization in the three Senatorial districts and 20 LGA’s of Bauchi State.
