The late Kogi State Governor, Ibrahim Idris, known as Ibro, passed away on September 20, 2026, in the United Kingdom. The Senator representing Kogi Central, Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, has expressed deep sorrow over his death. Akpoti-Uduaghan described Idris as a significant figure in the political history of Kogi State and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), highlighting his contributions to the state's development during his tenure from 2003 to 2012.
Idris, a businessman by background, had a long-standing career in public service that left an enduring impact on Kogi State and the PDP. His political career, marked by the defeat of the incumbent governor in 2003 and re-election in 2007, was later nullified, but he returned to office after winning a re-run election in 2008. Idris completed his term in January 2012 and was succeeded by Captain Idris Wada.
The loss of Idris has created a significant void, and his memory will remain part of Kogi State's historical narrative.
