HRH Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari CFR
The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Mai-Martaba Alhaji (Dr) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari CFR, has expressed sadness over the death of Sheikh Abdulganiy Aboto.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari described Shiekh Aboto’s demise as unfortunate and regrettable stressing that his death has left another vacuum in the dawah activities in the Ilorin Emirate and beyond.
The Emir, in his condolence message issued by his spokesman, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, said news of the scholar’s death together with his companions came to him as a rude shock considering the unfortunate incidence of heavy downpour which destroyed the popular bridge linking Kulende and Akerebiata areas.
He recalled the roles played by late Sheikh Aboto in promoting morality, good conducts as well the fear of God among the general public with reference to the Holy Quran and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) adding that, “His sermons were unique, highly intellectual and deeply heart-touching.”
” During his lifetimes, late Sheikh Aboto touched so many lives through his public lectures along Taiwo Road during the month of Ramadan as well as other locations and communities across Nigeria and Africa continent by extension.”
The Emir extended his condolence to the entire Adabiyyah family worldwide, families, associates, natives of Aboto community in Asa local government area of the state as well as sympathisers over the death of a pious and highly intellectual scholar.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari prayed Allah to forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds and admit him into al-janatul firdaos.
