Traditional rulers in Kwara state have threw their weight behind the political leadership of the immediate past governor of the state, Dr Bukola Saraki.

The traditional chiefs said their declaration of open support for the scion of the famous Saraki political dynasty became necessary in view of the unfolding political development in the country.

Addressing a crowded news conference in Ilorin, the state capital yesterday, the monarchs said Saraki's unmatched contributions to the development of the state in the past one decade eminently qualified him to be the state's political leader.

The chiefs that addressed the news conference came under the aegis of Ilorin Emirate Magajis  and Alanguas forum.
The text of the news conference read by the Magaji Nda of Ilorin was signed by 350 chiefs from Ilorin Emirate.

Ilorin Emirate is made up of Ilorin East, West, South, Asa and Moro local government areas and boasts of 48 percent of the state's population.

The. Statement reads:
"We,the undersigned traditional chiefs appointed by His Royal Highness, the Emir of Ilorin,from the various districts, wards,towns and villages of Ilorin Emirate in Ilorin West, East, South, Asa and Moro local government areas in Kwara state having painstakingly deliberated extensively on the new political development in Nigeria, particularly as it will the general wellbeing of our people, progress and development of Kwara state in future and having held necessary consultations with our large people, we have unanimously resolved to support the political leadership of Senator (Dr) Abubakar Bukola Saraki and Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed.

"Our decision based purely on their unequal track records of unprecedented achievements in the state and beyond.

"We therefore pledge our continued unalloyed support and loyalty  for their present political mission,which we considered justifiable."
ENDS,
