Yeah…
From the heart of the people…
Today we celebrate a gentleman,
A man of service, a man of compassion…

Sardauna…
This one is for you.
From the people, for the people,
You have walked the road with dignity,
When the less privileged call your name,
You answer with humanity.
Not because of power,
Not because of fame,
But because your heart understands
That leadership is service, not a name.

A gentleman right from the start,
With the wisdom of experience,
And compassion deep in your heart.
Omo, the people dey talk your name,
From the city streets to the village lane,
You bring the sunshine after the rain,
Leading with peace and breaking the chain.
And when the people need a voice,
You stand with courage,
When the weak need a hand,
You give them hope and courage.

Today we celebrate your life!
