Senator Bwacha Mourns the Departure of Aku Uka
The sad news of the passing of our father, His Royal Majesty, Dr Shekarau Angyu Masa-Ibi Kuvyon II, CFR, Aku Uka of Wukari and the Chairman Taraba State Council of Chiefs, sends shock waves around the world.
However, while the entire world mourns the demise of a great father and a leader, no other people will feel the impact of his hunting experience to Puje directly like the good people of Southern Taraba Senatorial District of which I represent at the National Assembly. Aku was a father of all who opened his doors to all and sundry. He was a father to me and opened wide his doors for me. It’s thus a monumental beating to me as an individual.
Our father Aku for more than four decades dedicated his being to the protection and preservation of the unity and dignity of the Jukun race in its diversity at home and in the Diaspora. He was a very resourceful Traditional Ruler, whose reign was grandeur and beautiful that turned around the fortunes of the ancient city of Wukari, especially to a tourism delight and educational hub of excellence nationally and globally despite facing many challenges. His life will remain an inspiration that will guide many generations to come.
May the Lord God Almighty comfort the Kwararafa nation, Taraba State and Nigeria at large with the fortitude to bear this hunting experience to Puje. Adieu, Your Majesty!

Senator (Dr) Emmanuel Bwacha, CON
