President Tinubu mourns Alhaji Isyaku Ibrahim’s passing

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has sent a message of condolence to the family and associates of business leader, politician, and sports promoter, Alhaji Isyaku Ibrahim, who died on Saturday at 88 in Abuja.

The Special Adviser to the President, Bayo Onanuga, announced this in a press statement on Sunday.

President Tinubu acknowledged the deceased’s contributions to Nigeria, through his chain of businesses, political involvement, and community leadership.

President Tinubu also condoled with the government and the people of Nasarawa State and prayed for the soul of the late maverick politician.

The late businessman was an influential chieftain of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) in the Second Republic. During the transition to civil rule in 1998, he joined other notable politicians to form the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

In addition to other ventures, the late statesman founded the Jos-based Mighty Jets Football Club, which flourished for decades. Alhaji Ibrahim hailed from Wamba in Nasarawa State.
