Ohinoyi left indelible mark on Ebiraland, Ganduje mourns

The National Chairman, All Progressives Congress, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, on Sunday, expressed shock over the demise of the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Ado Ibrahim, saying his reign has left an indelible mark on his kingdom.

The first-class Kogi monarch, who ascended the throne on June 2, 1997, died on Sunday morning at a health facility in Abuja.

Reacting in a statement signed by his chief press secretary, Edwin Olofu, the APC national chairman described the traditional ruler as a father figure, who lived his life for the growth of Ebiraland in Kogi state and Nigeria in general.

The statement stated that late Ohinoyi’s leadership reflected his humility, adding that he was passionate, hardworking, and hospitable towards his subjects both at home and diaspora.

The statement partly read, “The late Ado Abdulrahman Ibrahim’s reign as the 4th Ohinoyi left an indelible mark on Ebiraland, while his commitment to discipline serves as an inspiration for generations yet unborn.

“We noted that the fascinating life and journey of Ado Abdulrahman Ibrahim’s life is a testimony of his resilience, wisdom, and dedication to tradition.

“The ruling APC also commiserated with Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, the immediate family of the late monarch, and Kogites in general over the loss. We pray unto Allah to forgive his shortcomings and grant the departed soul eternal rest.”
