I immeasurably regret the death of our great royal father, Alhaji Ibrahim Chatta Umar, and send my condolences to his family, the entire royal community in Kwara State and the people of Patigi in particular.

I was opportune to meet the formidable emir not so long ago, and the brief moment remains one of which I cherish the most in my various encounters. He was an altruist, a leader per excellence and a sincere man in every sense of it.

Let’s all remember to imbibe the lessons he lived to teach us and put him and his families in our prayer.

May Allah grant him Al jannah firdaws.
