Hon. Ahmed Yusuf Tijani Damisa has commiserated with Kogi State Government and the Ebira Council of Chiefs over the death of the Ohi of Okene/Okengwe, Alhaji Yakubu Yusuf
The Federal Lawmaker condolence message was conveyed in a
statement by his Special Assistant, Malam Adams Ibrahim Kadoka, in Okene on
Friday.
It quoted Damisa as describing the late chief as a great father to all who is an embodiment
of humility, discipline, greatness and human concern. As
“someone whose words of wisdom, nobility and decency will be sorely missed,
especially at a time the government is relying on traditional rulers to
sensitise citizens on directives for safety”.
He urged his family and the Ebiras to find solace
in the good works of the deceased and ensure his legacies were carried on.
The lawmaker prayed that the Almighty God would forgive the shortcomings of the Chief, remember his good works and grant his soul eternal rest.
