Governors under the aegis of the Northern States Governors Forum have condoled with the Governor of Kogi State, Captain Idris Wada, over the death of his father.
The Chairman of the Forum and Governor of Niger State, Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, while reasoning that the late Pa Ejiga Wada may have died at a good age of 100, added that he will be greatly missed by his family, the state and the country.
The condolence message was contained in a press statement signed in Minna on Monday by the Chief Press Secretary to Aliyu, Israel Ebije.
Aliyu said the late Pa Wada would be remembered for his contribution to the educational development of the state, adding that his legacy will certainly outlive him.
The statement said: “It is indeed heartwarming to know that the late Pa Ejiga is one of the foremost educationists in Kogi State. As we mourn him, we will remember his contribution to academic development in Igalaland.
“Let me therefore on behalf of the forum condole with Governor Idris Wada over the loss. He should however take solace in the fact that his father has not only lived long but left a good legacy.”
Aliyu prayed God to grant the deceased Aljanatul Firdausi.
He also prayed Allah grant the Kogi State governor and his entire family the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.
