Kwara Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has expressed condolences to the people of Ajase-Ipo in the state’s Irepodun Local Government Area over the death of Chief Imam Sheikh Muhammad Mustapha Suleiman, calling it the end of another wonderful age of exceptional knowledge.
This is according to a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Monday by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rafiu Ajakaye.
According to the Governor, the death of the Chief Imam depleted the ranks of community leaders, whose leadership positions are critical to societal cohesion, stability, peace, and security.
“On behalf of the government and people of Kwara State, I express our deepest sympathies to the Muslim community, the Olupo of Ajase-Ipo, Oba Ismail Yahya Alebiosu, and the Chief Imam’s immediate family.”
“He left a legacy as a brilliant leader who contributed to the growth of his town.”
“We implore Allah to pardon his flaws, grant him al-jannah Firdaus, and maintain the ummah and his family on the straight road,” he stated.
