Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has expressed his sadness over the demise of the Maigari of Lokoja, His Royal Highness Alhaji (Dr) Muhammad Kabir Maikarfi III, OON who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 80 years after a brief illness.
Governor
Bello in a press statement signed on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary,
Muhammed Onogwu described the royal father as one who distinguished himself as
a true lover of his people and the state, hence during his lifetime, he was
committed to serving even from the esteemed position of a paramount ruler.
Governor
Bello noted that the Maigari was a man of peace, a belief he truly practised
and preached to his subjects and being the ruler of the capital city of the
state, he played a critical role in ensuring peaceful coexistence, togetherness
which would be his unforgettable legacies.
He
noted that as a governor, he had a personal relationship with the Maigari and
was greatly blessed by his counsels, admonition and continued support which
reflected the Traditional ruler’s vastness in history, richness in culture, the
wealth of experience, knowledge and wisdom.
According
to the governor, although the Maigari passed away at an old age, he would be
sorely missed by himself, and the entire state as his demise came also at a
time when the electioneering season both at the national and state level was at
the corridor.
He
expressed however that he took solace that the Maigari’s death was the will of
God Almighty and that he lived a fulfilled life in the service of his people
with the fear of God Almighty.
While
commiserating with the family of the Maigari, the people of Lokoja and the
entire state over his death, he prayed for God to grant him eternal rest and
console everyone who has been greatly hurt.
