  "summary": "Northern governors have expressed condolences on the passing of the Emirs of Gumel and Zurmi. According to Punch, they highlighted the emirs' legacies of peace and development.\n\nThe reports did not provide further details on the emirs or the governors' statements beyond the expression of condolences.\n\nA separate report from Daily Post Nigeria mentioned Rabi’u Kwankwaso, the vice-presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, criticising the performance of Northern governors, but this appears unrelated to the condolences for the emirs.",
