President Bola Tinubu has sent a message of condolence to the family and associates of business leader, politician, and sports promoter, Isyaku Ibrahim, who died on Saturday in Abuja.
In a condolence message signed by the Presidential Spokesperson, Mr Bayo Onanuga, President Tinubu acknowledged the deceased’s contributions to Nigeria through his chain of businesses, political involvement, and community leadership.
In addition to other ventures, the late statesman founded the Jos-based Mighty Jets Football Club, which flourished for decades.

The late businessman was an influential chieftain of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) in the Second Republic. During the transition to civil rule in 1998, he joined other notable politicians to form the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
President Tinubu condoled with the government and the people of Wamba, Nasarawa State and prayed for the soul of the late politician.
