Named Sheikh, but functions as a servant and philanthropist who prioritizes the well-being of the downtrodden. He’s Sheik Ibrahim, an emerging political heavyweight who is currently championing the liberation of Kogi.
Meek but politically rugged, jagged, decisive, and aggressively calculative and motivating, a man who didn’t just relinquish his governorship ambition for the liberation of Igala Kingdom, but also shun millions of naira to sustain the movement to restore Kogi.
His sacrificial gesture didn’t only reminds me of the sacrifice of the late Inikpi, who offered herself to be used to sustain what we have today as the Igala kingdom, but it also validates the opinion that an average Igala man is not selfish, adding value to our collective prestige.
Gained prominence through resilience, sustained the status through hard work and dedication, and also raised many people to become independent by supporting their businesses.
He is a man whose home has become accessible to anyone, irrespective of their social status, as he barely discriminates against the less fortunate, whom he often calls his friends.
If unselfishness or sacrifice were to be a person, it would be Hon. Sheik Ibrahim, who demonstrated his humorous gesture in every area of his life.
Today marks another historic occasion for your birth. We find it pertinent to recount your wonderful contribution to humanity, most especially the Igala kingdom, and we pray that the Almighty Allah elongates your lifespan and enlarges your fortune in trillions of folds.
I wish you a smooth and belated birthday!
