Senate Wants Ohinoyi Of Ebiraland Immortalised

The Senate has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to immortalise the late Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr Abdulralman Ado Ibrahim.

Also, the Senate has honoured the late traditional ruler during plenary by observing a one-minute silence.

This followed a motion sponsored by the Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti Uduaghan. Natasha, who was just sworn in, informed the upper legislative chamber of the demise of the royal father and advocated that the federal college of education, Okene should be named after the late Ohinoyi.

Senator Natasha said, “Death struck the Ohinoyi Dr Abdulrahman Ado Ibrahim, on Sunday, 29th October, 2023 at an Abuja Hospital at the age of 94.”

While extolling the virtues of the late traditional ruler, the senator said the late Ohinoyi proved to be a veritable bridge-builder, peacemaker and a social scientist who was more at home with analysis and actions.
