The statement reads: “In total submission to the will of Allah, we regret to announce the passing of the Chief of Staff to His Excellency, Prince AbdulKadir Mahe.
He died this morning, as has been destined by Allah.”
The late Prince Mahe will be laid to rest today at his residence on Moro Street, Adewole Estate, Ilorin, following the Asr prayer.
Governor AbdulRazaq mourned the passing of Prince Mahe, describing him as “a perfect gentleman, community leader, urbane public servant, and statesman.”
The Governor also extended his condolences to the Emir of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, the immediate family of the deceased, government officials, and members of the cabinet.
