The Senator representing Kwara Central at the National Assembly, Dr. Ibrahim Yahaya Oloriegbe has expressed that Kwara State and most specifically, the Ilorin Emirate community has lost a walking encyclopedia with the death of Alh. Ibrahim Dan-Boyi.
Oloriegbe who noted this in a condolence message to the Emir of Ilorin and the Ilorin Emirate community over the demise of the elder statesman well known for his zestful personality revolving around promotion of socio-cultural activities within the community from the '60s until his death which was announced today.
Oloriegbe expressed: "I felt so pain by the news of the death of Alhaji Ibrahim Dan-Boyi. He is an all-rounder socialite who endeared his memories in the hearts of both young and old with his publicity stunts that cut across all facets of entertainment. I doubt if there was anyone that grew up in Ilorin from the '60s till this present moment that wouldn't have come across him for one reason or another.
"Alh. Dan-Boyi in his one-man-mopol coordination would always have a nostalgic story to narrate about virtually all events in our community. He was no doubt a walking encyclopedia.
"I commiserate with our royal father, The Emir of Ilorin and the Emirate Councils as well as the immediate family of the deceased over this irredeemable loss that occurred to us. May Almighty Allah forgive all his transgressions and grant him eternal rest.
