Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has described the late Amb. AbdulKadir Sambo Imam, as a gentle and committed public servant, who served Nigeria meritoriously during his lifetime.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

\n

The deceased, who at one time was Nigeria\u2019s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia, died on Thursday at the age of 90.<\/p>\n

The Emir, in a statement signed by Abdulazeez Arowona on Thursday in Ilorin, said late Amb. Imam lived an exemplary life and was a great mentor to many people.<\/p>\n

He added that the deceased, popularly called \u00a0\u2018Ambassador Okekere\u2019, was not only a proud indigene of Ilorin Emirate but also an amiable Nigerian and a global citizen with numerous track records of achievements to the nation and humanity.<\/p>\n

Sulu-Gambari extended condolences, on behalf of Kwara Traditional Rulers Council, to the family and friends of the deceased.<\/p>\n

The Emir urged them to find solace in the fact that late Amb. Imam lived a worthy, enviable, and exemplary life.<\/p>\n

He prayed that Almighty Allah forgives his shortcomings, accept his good deeds, and admit him into Al-Janatul Firdaus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
