Prof. Sanni who described the demise of the King as a rude shock however noted that during his lifetime, he was an admiration to all due to the spectacular human, infrastructural, and economic development achieved under his leadership since November 3, 2004.
“We take consolation in the fact that he was able to improve on the legacy of a sustainable pattern of prosperity and security, not only in the UAE and Abu Dhabi, but across the Gulf Region and the World at large”, he said.
He further added that the departed king’s political reforms at home, the diversification of the economy, the remarkable attention to the Northern Emirates, and the contribution to regional and world peace will for long remain a historic point of reference.
Prof. Sanni prayed that the Almighty Allah grants the good people of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, the Arab and Muslim world, and indeed the entire humanity the courage to bear this irreparable loss. He also beseeched Allah to endow UAE with a good successor to carry on with the monumental breakthroughs and deeds of the departed King.
