The Northern States Governors have conveyed their heartfelt condolences to their colleague, the Executive Governor of Kogi State, His Excellency, Usman Ahmed Ododo, over the demise of his father, Alhaji Ahmed Momohsani Ododo, who died today at the age of 83.
This was expressed in a statement signed by the Director-General (Press Affairs) Government House Gombe, Ismaila Uba Misilli, made available on Monday.
In a message on behalf of the Northern States Governors’ Forum, its Chairman and Governor of Gombe State, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, described the late patriarch as a man who lived a fulfilled life devoted to God, community and humanity.
Governor Inuwa Yahaya noted that the death of Alhaji Ahmed Momohsani comes at a time when his fatherly wisdom and guidance would have been most needed by Governor Ododo as he navigates the responsibilities of leadership.
