Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State
Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State has congratulated the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, on his installation as the Waziri of Ilorin by the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu Gambari.
The governor said this in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary (CPS), Abdulwahab Oba on Sunday in Ilorin.
Ahmed described the elevation as well-deserved considering the contributions of the Senate President to the development of the Emirate in particular and the entire state at large.
“The announcement of the elevation to the prestigious title of Waziri by the Emir was a pleasant but fitting surprise to cap our joy over the exoneration by the Supreme Court from the Code of Conduct Tribunal trial.
“It is fitting that you have stepped into the traditional shoes of your father and our great mentor, Dr Abubakar Olusola Saraki.
“The time is apt, the occasion is unique and your profile is most fitting for this honour,” Ahmed said.
Ahmed prayed God to guide the new Waziri and grant him wisdom to pilot the affairs of the new traditional office.
