The Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Obong Victor Attah, who was at the three day Fiddau prayer and to commisserate with the family of the Late Lamido Adamawa, Dr. Alhaji Aliyu Musdafa, has described him as a knowledgeable personality and embodiment of wisdom.

He described the late Lamido as one that appreciated good things and was a source of encouragement to people who desired to develop themselves intellectually and morally.

He said as a result of the architectural work, the Lamido was impressed and had decided to adopt him as a son to the extent that late Musdafa offered him a land to build his present personal house in Yola.
