Rt. Hon. Ibrahim Balarabe Abdullahi, a prominent All Progressives Congress, APC, leader and  immediate past Speaker of Nasarawa State House of Assembly, has articulated that death is the inescapable conclusion to human existence, arriving precisely when destiny ordains.

Balarabe, Chairman of Federal Polytechnic Damaturu’s Governing Council, paid a condolence visit to Rubochi on Friday, offering sympathies to the family of the late Alhaji Isa Gwamna Rubochi, who passed away on Wednesday.

The Toto LG political leader extolled the virtues of the late Alhaji Isa Ibrahim Gwamna Rubochi, noting that he was a paternal figure to everyone, leaving a lasting legacy of positively impacting many lives and bridging gaps between individuals and groups.

He consoled Jibrin Gwamna and the family by reminding them that their father’s passing was in accordance with God’s will, who has sovereignty over life, and to honor his memory by emulating his virtues.

Balarabe Abdullahi offered prayers to God, seeking forgiveness for his shortcomings and reward for his good deeds with paradise, while encouraging the children to adopt their late father’s admirable traits and continually pray for his soul to receive eternal mercy.

Representing the family of the late Gwamna Rubochi, Mikail Isa Gwamna, one of his eldest sons, appreciated the former Speaker’s gesture of support, praying for God’s abundant blessings upon him.

He expressed the family’s heartfelt gratitude to the former Speaker and found consolation in his visit, adding that their father retained his faculties until the end, passing at 103 while still able to eat, recognize people, and share insightful guidance.
