The Speaker of the House of Representatives Mr Abbas Tajudeen has congratulated former Vice President, Alhaji Namadi Sambo, on his turbaning as the Sardaunan Zazzau.
Abbas said the traditional recognition of Alhaji Sambo is well deserved.
The Speaker described Alhaji Sambo as one of the elder statesmen that Kaduna State has produced for Nigeria.
He said that the title of Sardaunan Zazzau is prestigious and is usually reserved for prominent persons like the former vice-president.
