The acting Governor of Adamawa State, Alhaji Umaru Fintiri, yesterday, commiserated with the Lamido of Adamawa, Dr. Barkindo Aliyu Musdafa, over  the death of over 30 of his subjects during recent attacks by Boko Haram insurgents.
The acting governor, who received the paramount ruler at the Government House for Sallah homage, condoled  with him over the attacks in Garkida and Hong communities.
He described the incidents as unfortunate and prayed God to grant the families of the deceased the fortitude to bear the irreparable losses.
The royal father said the emergence of the acting governor was an act of God and noted that what the state needed was the loyalty and total support of all natives.
The  acting governor, who had earlier appointed royal fathers as advisers, told  his guest that although he took over a state that was degraded, the challenges were not insurmountable.
The royal father  pledged to support the  transitional administration in the state for the progress of the state. The Lamido of Adamawa, who led other emirs and chiefs to pay Sallah homage to the acting governor, charged him to see his office as God-given.
The Lamido reminded the acting governor that no man gave him the seat, and charged him to use the office for the advancement of the state.
