AbdulRahman Ado Ibrahim (born February 7, 1929) is the fourth and current Ohinoyi of Ebiraland,  a tradition state with headquarters in Okene, Kogi State, Middle Belt, Nigeria. He is a son of the second Attah (now "Ohinoyi") of Ebiraland, Attah Ibrahim Onoruoiza, of the Omadivi clan, who reigned 1917–1954.

Kingship
Following the demise of Ohinoyi Mohammed Sanni Omolori of the Ogu clan in 1996, the Lagos-based entrepreneur and son of the second paramount ruler of Ebiraland, AbdulRahman Ado Ibrahim, ascended the Okene throne as the second Ohinoyi (title used to be "Attah" in the days of his father) or fourth independent traditional ruler of Ebiraland.

Dispute with state government
The Ohinoyi was reportedly issued a query by the Kogi State Government, following his inability to grant the Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari a welcome during the latter's visit to the state, on 29 December 2022. It was reported that a bomb exploded during the president's visit at a mosque close to the palace of the Ohinoyi in Okene, killing about three persons. On January 3, 2023, the Nigerian police Department of State Security (DSS) was said to have arrested the bomb blast masterminds who were member of the ISWAP, which released a video a day before the arrests, reportedly stating that the attack was undertaken by “soldiers of the caliphate”.

Royal family
One of the children of the Ohinoyi, Prince Malik Ado-Ibrahim, is as of January 7, 2023, the presidential candidate of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) towards the upcoming elections in Nigeria.
