The National President of Ilorin Emirate Descendants’ Progressive Union (IEDPU), Alhaji Abdulmumini Ayo Abdulmalik, has sympathised with the third President of the Union and Wali of Ilorin, Alhaji Shehu Usman Mustafa, on the death of his youngest wife, Hajiya Mairo Eyitayo Mustapha.
Alhaja Mustapha, who died on Thursday, served as the Chief Executive of the Kwara State Broadcasting Corporation during the tenure of the late Admiral Muhammad Alabi Lawal as the Executive Governor of Kwara State.
Alhaji Abdulmalik, in a statement issued by the Union’s National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Suleiman Shuaib Dagbo, described the death of Hajiya Mustapha as a great loss not only to the centenarian elder statesman but also to the entire people of Ilorin Emirate and Nigerians at large.
The President, who is a retired Assistant Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, recalled that the deceased was a distinguished athlete who once represented Nigeria at the Olympics and an outstanding journalist who served the nation and humanity to the best of her ability.
He also commiserated with the entire Alikali Mustapha family of Isale Aluko, the Onimago and the Oju-Ekun families of Ilorin as well as the management and staff of Sobi FM, Ilorin and the Kwara State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) on the demise of the veteran journalist and consummate broadcaster.
Alhaji Abdulmalik prayed to Allah to grant the deceased Aljanat Fridaous. He also prayed to Allah to avail Alhaji Mustafa and all those who are bereaved the fortitude to bear her demise.
