The Ilorin Likeminds Foundation, ILMF, has described the turbaning of Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq as the Sardauna of Ilorin as well-deserved and historic.<\/p>\n
In a statement signed by its Director of Publicity, Mohammad Abdulkadri, the Foundation said it joined thousands of admirers and illustrious indigenes of Ilorin to rejoice with the governor.<\/p>\n
The turbaning ceremony was performed on Wednesday by the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, at a colourful event that attracted dignitaries from across the country.<\/p>\n
According to the Foundation, the title is a fitting honour and recognition for AbdulRazaq’s distinguished transformational leadership and exceptional commitment to the peace, unity and progress of the people.<\/p>\n
While wishing the new Sardauna a successful tour of duty in his new chieftaincy role, the President of the Foundation, Alhaji Lukman Atanda Abdullahi, expressed optimism that he would build on the achievements of his predecessor, the late business mogul and philanthropist, Alhaji Umaru Saro.<\/p>\n
Atanda said he was confident Governor AbdulRazaq would also emulate the virtues of the late Premier of Northern Nigeria and Sardauna of Sokoto, Sir Ahmadu Bello.<\/p>\n
He prayed for God’s guidance and protection for the new Sardauna, noting that the revered traditional title comes with enormous responsibility.<\/p>\n
“To whom much is given, much is required,” he said, wishing him a long, peaceful and progressive reign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
