He said the late monarch lived a fulfilled life and left a worthy legacy of selfless service through his invaluable contributions to the development of his community, despite the short time he spent in his newly built Palace which was commissioned a few days before he joined his ancestors.
He prayed to Almighty Allah to give the town a successor that would accord the welfare of the people and development of the community top priority as done by the late Oba Ibrahim.
“On behalf of myself and the good people of Yagba Federal Constituency, I commiserate with the family of the late monarch and the people of Iyamoye. Our prayer is that God will comfort the family and the community. This is a great loss not only to Iyamoye but to the whole State. Oba Ibrahim Momoh, no doubt, lived a fulfilled life. May Allah grant him eternal rest and give him Aljannah firdaus as reward for his good deeds,” Abejide added.
