Rafiu Ibrahim, who represented Kwara south in the senate from 2015 to 2019, is dead.


Ibrahim died on Wednesday morning, aged 57, after a brief illness.


He was chairman of the senate committee on banking, insurance and other financial institutions in the 8th national assembly, and lost his bid to retain the Kwara south seat in the 2019 and 2023 elections.


AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, Kwara state governor, said he “received with shock and profound sadness reports of the death of Senator Rafiu Ibrahim of the Peoples Democratic Party after a brief illness”.


In a statement signed by Rafiu Ajakaye, his chief press secretary, the governor sent his “heartfelt condolences to the family of the late senator, the people of Ojoku in Oyun Local Government Area, and the Peoples Democratic Party on this sad development”.


“This shocking development again reminds everyone of the inevitability of death for all human beings and the fact that it could come unannounced for anyone,” the statement reads.


“Governor AbdulRazaq prays to Allah to admit the senator to al-Jannah Firdaus and give comfort to his family members, political associates, and followers.”
