Kogi State Governor, Ahmed Usman Ododo, has expressed profound sorrow over the passing of Hon. Suleiman Muhammed, the Kogi East Zonal Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his condolence message, the Governor extended his sympathy to the bereaved family and APC members in the state, describing the untimely death of the zonal chairman as a significant loss to both the party in Kogi East and the broader APC family.
A statement from the Governor’s Special Adviser on Media, Ismaila Isah, quoted Ododo as saying: “The late Hon. Suleiman Muhammed was a man of peace, humility, and one who demonstrated commitment to the service of the state and the APC as a party. He carried the aspirations of his people with dignity; his leadership was widely respected and his contributions deeply valued within and beyond the APC in Kogi East.”
“He was instrumental in strengthening party cohesion and promoting inclusive dialogue. His presence in every party engagement brought stability and thoughtful leadership to our consultations in the zone.”
The Governor further praised Hon. Suleiman’s calm demeanor, sense of fairness, and exceptional listening skills, which positioned him as a unifying force within the party.
Governor Ododo also offered his condolences to the family, the state APC leadership, the people of Dekina Local Government Area, and the entire Kogi East Senatorial District.
He prayed that Almighty Allah (SWT) forgives his shortcomings and grants him Aljanatul Fridaus.
The late APC Zonal Chairman, who had previously served as the APC coordinator for Odu Ward 2 before ascending to his role in Kogi East, passed away at the age of 45 and was laid to rest in accordance with Islamic rites.
