Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has joined the family, friends, associates, and the people of Ilorin, Kwara, and Nigeria in mourning the death of Major General Abdullahi Adangba (Retired), a fine soldier, administrator, and community leader who passed away at the age of 86.

Governor AbdulRazaq noted that General Adangba had a distinguished career as a commissioned officer of the Nigerian Army and served the nation in several high-profile capacities:

• Military Governor of Benue-Plateau State.
• Director General of the defunct National Security Organization (NSO).
• National Security Adviser to former Military leader Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar.
• Chief of Staff to former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Umar Musa Yar'Adua.

Governor AbdulRazaq stated that the death of General Adangba is a profound loss not just to the Ilorin Emirate but to the entire nation, calling it a painful closure of a bright page in Nigeria's political and military history.

He sent his heartfelt condolences to the Emir of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, the people of the Emirate, the family of the late General, and the military hierarchy on the development. Governor AbdulRazaq prayed to Allaah to admit the deceased to Al-jannah Firdaus and grant the family the patience to bear the huge loss.
