Kwara State Governor, AbduRahmon AbduRasak, has sympathised with veteran actor and producer, Adebayo Salami – aka Oga Bello – over the death of his mother, Alhaja Aishat Abdulkareem.
Oga Bello had announced the death of the mum on Tuesday, saying she would be buried the same day.
The governor, however, also mourned the All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain, Alhaji Kunle Suleiman, on the death of his brother and former provost, College of Education Oro, Alhaji Ibrahim Duro Suleiman.
AbdulRazaq, in a statement in Ilorin on Wednesday, also condoled with the former Minister of Youth and Sports Development, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, on the death of his mother, Alhaja Rafat Abdullahi, and Alhaja Aishat Abdulkareem.
The governor urged them to take solace in the exemplary lives of the departed while praying that God grant them Al-jannah Firdaus.
“On behalf of the people and government of Kwara, I send our heartfelt condolences to the former Minister and the thespian on the death of their dear mothers.
“Our hearts are with them at these lonely hours, given the irreplaceable place of mothers in our lives. I pray Allah to repose the souls of the departed and comfort the families.
“Similarly, our special commiserations go to the family of elder statesman, Barrister Kunle Suleiman, on the sudden death of our brother and top educationist, Alhaji Duro Suleiman.
“It is such a huge loss not just to the family but to the entire state, he contributed to the development of education in state. I beseech Allah to grant him al-jannah and comfort the family,” the governor said.
