President Bola Tinubu has commiserated with the minister of state, Agriculture and Food Security, Sen. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi, over the passing of the family patriarch, Alhaji Abdullahi Sabi.
In a statement by his spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, the president said he shares with the Minister, his immediate family, and extended family the pain of the loss of the renowned politician, administrator, and traditional ruler who was a relentless champion for the cause of the poor and vulnerable.
According to President Tinubu, Alhaji Sabi’s lofty contributions to the Borgu Emirate Council and advocacy for peaceful and participatory development will always be remembered.
Alhaji Sabi first served as superintendent of works at Borgu LGA. Then, he spent 21 years as district head of Melale before the Emirate Council deployed him to head the districts of Kigera, Sabuke, and Luma at various times.
The President believes the visionary leader, the pioneer Chairman of Jama’atul Izalatul Bid’ah Wa Iqamatul Sunnah (JIBWIS) in Borgu Kingdom, lived for the good of humanity and the betterment of society.
President Tinubu prayed that Allah would receive the soul of the departed leader and comfort his family.
