Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum Gov AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has commiserated with the government and people of Yobe State on the death of former Governor (Senator) Bukar Abba Ibrahim.

The Governor said the death of the elder statesman represents a huge void in the ranks of people with vast and multilayered leadership experiences who truly love the country.

Senator Buka Abba Ibrahim was not just a political force in the North East but he was also an inspirational and great figure with a large following that is anchored on the goodwill from his service to the people, according to the NGF chairman.

The Governor asks Allaah to grant Senator Buka Abba Ibrahim Al-Jannah Firdaus and give comfort to his family and everyone who mourns him.
