Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has commiserated with the family of the late Governor Mohammed Lawal over the death of his elder brother, Alhaji Suleiman Ajao Lawal who was known as Baba Sokoto.
“The Governor received news of the death of Baba Sokoto with mixed feelings. While he lived considerably to a ripe old age and left a good legacy of being a consummate community leader, his death at this time depletes the ranks of elders whose advice remain invaluable for the Otoge government,” AbdulRazaq said in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Rafiu Ajakaye on Thursday.
“The Governor commiserates with the entire Laderin clan of Idiape quarters of Ilorin and prays the Almighty Allah to repose the soul of Alhaji Sokoto and all of our departed compatriots, including the late former Governor Mohammed Lawal, in Aljannah Firdaus .”
