The Governor said the death of the Chief Imam was a depletion in the rank of community leaders whose leadership roles are key to societal cohesion, stability, peace and security.
“On behalf of the government and the people of Kwara State, I send our heartfelt condolences to the Muslim community, the Olupo of Ajase-Ipo, Oba Ismail Yahya Alebiosu, and the immediate family of the Chief Imam.
“He left a legacy of being a great leader who played his role in the development of his community.
“We beseech Allah to forgive his shortcomings, grant him al-jannah Firdaus, and keep the ummah and his family on the path of righteousness,” he said.
