During the visit to the Government House, Lokoja, Bayero told the governor that he was in the state to sympathise with him, the government and people of Kogi State following the passing of the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr Ado Ibrahim, on October 29.
The Emir conveyed the condolence of the Kano Emirates to the residents of Kogi and commended Bello for fostering and maintaining strong relationships with traditional rulers in the state.
Mr Bello thanked the Emir and the Emirates Council for their condolences and the effort of undertaking a considerable journey to offer their support.
Mr Bello lauded the late monarch for his influential and exemplary life, worthy of emulation by all and sundry.
“I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for deeming it fit to condole with us and for embarking on such a significant journey from Kano to Kogi State.
“We truly value this expression of love. The late Ado Ibrahim, the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, led an honourable life and left an indelible impact on the lives of his people during his time,’’ he said.
Bello reaffirmed his administration’s unwavering dedication to the welfare of traditional rulers in the state.
According to him, such commitment will be upheld by his successor by the Grace of God.
