As we collectively mourn the passing of this distinguished leader, we find solace in the knowledge that he dedicated his life to serving humanity, irrespective of their social standing. Alhaji Ado Ibrahim's exceptional personality will continue to cast a long shadow even in his absence.
Governor Radda concluded by offering a prayer for the departed, saying, "May Allah pardon his noble soul. Ameen. We also pray that his family and the people of Kogi State are granted the strength to bear the painful loss of the Ohinoyi." This condolence message was issued by the Governor's spokesperson, Ibrahim Kaula Mohammed.
