The Kwara State Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed has commiserated with the Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Majesty, Alhaji Zulkarnaini Ibrahim Gambari and the family of Late Islamic Scholar, Sheikh Abdulraheem Aminullahi Onowasi Agbaye, who died last Friday in Ilorin.

Ahmed, in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Alhaji Abdulwahab Oba, described the death of the eminent and erudite Islamic scholar as a big loss to the Islamic world and especially the Muslim Ummah in Nigeria and humanity at large.

The Governor said the late Sheikh was an audacious missioner, scholar of international repute and humanist per excellence.

"Alhaji Oniwasi Agbaye was an easy going person who begrudged no one, even in his missionary activities. The people of Kwara State, and indeed Nigerians, will miss the deep eclectic preaching of late Sheikh Abdulraheem Aminulahi Agbaye", the governor said.

Ahmed, therefore, prays Almighty Allah to give the Muslim world and the family of the late learned preacher, heart to bear the irredeemable loss, especially at a time when the current generation crave for urgent moral rejuvenation.

He, however, urged the ummah to take solace in the fact that the late scholar livcd a fulfilled life.
