President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar have condoled with the government and people of Kogi State on the passing of the revered traditional ruler, Dr. Ado Ibrahim, the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.
The President, in a statement by his spokesperson, Ajuri Ngelale, said the death of the Ohinoyi is a painful loss, describing the late monarch as peace-loving, affable, and cerebral.
“The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland was in a class of his own. He was highly respected and admired for his deep insights, wisdom, and sophistication. He had a masterful way of handling issues. He was very knowledgeable and wise.
“May Almighty Allah grant His Majesty Aljannah Firdaus,” the President prayed.
In his own message, Atiku said “I am saddened by the news of the passing of the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr. Ado Ibrahim in the early hours of today.
“It is even more saddening that the paramount ruler of Ebiraland, a custodian of our traditional norms and an inspiration to his people, left us at this period of national crisis when his services are needed the most.
“I, on behalf of my family, commiserate with the people of Ebiraland and the government and people of Kogi State over this loss.
“I pray that Allah, the benevolent and the merciful, will forgive his sins and grant him eternal rest in paradise.”
