The Kogi State Government has announced the passing of Alh. Ahmed Momohsani Ododo, father of Gov. Ahmed Ododo.
The Commissioner for Information and Communication, Kingsley Fanwo, confirmed the development in a statement on Monday in Lokoja.
He said the 83-year-old patriarch returned to his creator a few hours before the announcement.
“Inna Lillahi Wa Inna Ilayhi Raji’un,” Fanwo recited, while announcing the passing of the governor’s father.
He stated that the Janazah (funeral) would be conducted and the deceased laid to rest in line with Islamic rites.
“We pray to Allah (SWT) to forgive his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, and grant him Al-Jannah Firdaus,” he added.
Fanwo further prayed for Allah to strengthen the governor, his family, and the entire Ododo household to bear the loss with fortitude.
