Three chieftains of the ruling All Progressives Congress in Kogi State have died.
Their deaths were announced on Monday by the Kogi State Government in a statement issued by the commissioner for information and communication, Kingsley Fanwo, in Lokoja.
“The Government and people of Kogi State have received with profound sorrow the news of the passing of three distinguished sons of the state: Hon. Onojah James Ignatius, Special Adviser to the Governor of Kogi State and former Chairman of Igalamela Local Government Area; Hon. Jatto Onimisi Suleiman, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor; and Alhaji Alih Atabo, APC Chairman of Anyigba Ward in Dekina Local Government Area,” the commissioner wrote.
According to him, the deceased served Kogi State and the All Progressives Congress with uncommon dedication, loyalty, and commitment.
He said that Onojah James Ignatius was a seasoned grassroots mobilizer and administrator whose passion for community development and good governance was evident in all his engagements.
Hon. Jatto Onimisi Suleiman discharged his duties with humility, diligence, and an unwavering sense of responsibility, consistently placing the interests of the people above personal considerations.
“Alhaji Alih Atabo was a committed party stalwart whose devotion to the growth, unity, and progress of the APC at the ward level was exemplary,” he said.
However, the commissioner did not state the circumstances under which they died.
The commissioner conveyed the heartfelt condolences of the governor, Alhaji Ahmed Usman Ododo, the government, and the people of the state to their families, friends, associates, and the entire APC family.
“We also sympathize with the people of Igalamela, Okene, Dekina, and all those whose lives were touched by their selfless service. We deeply appreciate their invaluable contributions to the development of Kogi State and the strengthening of our great party. Their legacies of service, sacrifice, and dedication will continue to inspire us,” he said.
