In 1998, during Nigeria’s transition to civil rule, he joined other notable politicians to form the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), where he played a key role in shaping the political landscape.
Beyond politics, Ibrahim was a respected businessman and philanthropist, whose investments impacted various sectors.
He also left a legacy in Nigerian sports as the founder of the Mighty Jets Football Club of Jos, a team that flourished for decades and inspired many young football talents.
President Tinubu extended his condolences to the family of the deceased, as well as the government and people of Nasarawa State, while praying that Almighty Allah grant his soul eternal rest.
