BREAKING: Kwara Chief Of Staff Dies At 73
The Chief of Staff to the Kwara State Governor, Prince AbdulKadir Aliyu Mahe, has passed away at the age of 73.
Family sources confirmed that he died in the early hours of Saturday at an undisclosed medical facility in Ilorin. He will be interred later today at his family compound on Princess Road, Ilorin South Local Government Area according to Islamic rites.
Appointed at over 70 years, the late Chief of Staff had often been described as reclusive and laid-back. Insiders noted his minimal involvement in state affairs, a situation attributed to the governor’s governance style, which reportedly sidelined him in favor of younger, less experienced aides.
“Just like the former Chief of Staff who also died on the job, Alhaji Maye was also a competent but under-utilised Chief of Staff in the history of the state. His redundancy stemmed from the governor’s preference for engaging minions and undergraduates for official duties,” a political observer remarked.
A highly placed aide close to the deceased disclosed that the Chief of Staff had grown weary of his limited role in government.
“He was merely bidding his time, as he had no significant input in the running of the administration,” the source revealed.
The passing of the Chief of Staff has reignited discussions about the governor’s administrative approach and its impact on the efficiency of key officials in the state.
As condolences pour in from across the state, many remember the late Chief of Staff for his calm demeanor and long service to the community, despite the challenges of his position.
