President Bola 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.
Ibrahim hailed from Wamba in Nasarawa State.
Tinubu, through presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, said 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).
President Tinubu acknowledged the deceased’s contributions to Nigeria through his chain of businesses, political involvement, and community leadership.
In addition to other ventures, the late statesman founded the Jos-based Mighty Jets Football Club, which flourished for decades.
President Tinubu condoled with the government and the people of Nasarawa State and prayed for the soul of the late maverick politician.
