President Bola Tinubu has condoled with the people of Kogi state over the death of Abdul Rahman Ado Ibrahim, the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland.

The president eulogised the deceased monarch for his “masterful way” of handling issues.
“The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland was in a class of his own. He was highly respected and admired for his deep insights, wisdom, and sophistication,” the statement reads.
“May Almighty Allah grant His Majesty Aljannah Firdaus.”
The president asked the people of Kogi to emulate the “legacy of peace and fellowship” of the deceased monarch.
