Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, has expressed his condolences to his Kwara State counterpart, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, following the death of his Chief of Staff, Prince Abdul Kadir Mahe.

In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mallam Olawale Rasheed, Governor Adeleke described the late Mahe as an astute community leader and a dedicated statesman whose loss will be deeply felt.

“I wish to commiserate with my brother, Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, over the demise of his Chief of Staff, Prince Abdul Kadir Mahe,” Adeleke stated.

He praised Prince Mahe’s contributions to democracy and leadership, noting that his absence will leave a significant void.

“We pray that Allah accepts his return and grants him al-Jannah Firdaus,” he concluded.
