Fulani Herdsmen Aren't Crinals- Emir Of Illorin by nicedas(m): 7:37am On Aug 30, 2016 |
By Demola Akinyemi
ILORIN—The Emir of Ilorin and
Chairman, Kwara State
Traditional Council of Chiefs,
Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari,
has absolved Fulani herdsmen
of responsibility for all the
atrocities committed across the
country, describing them as
peaceful, lovable and honest in
their dealings with other
tribes.
The monarch also urged
Nigerians to ensure that the
desired peace and tranquility
continued to reign in the
nation through harmonious
working relationships and
honesty.
He added that this became
necessary due to the
infiltration of attitudes alien to
the practice and tradition of
the people of Kwara State,
especially indigenes of Ilorin.
The monarch stated this
yesterday when members of
Balogun Gambari community
paid him a thank you visit over
the elevation of the Balogun
Gambari of Ilorin, Alhaji
Adedayo Balogun, as the most
senior chancellor in Ilorin
Emirate Council.
The Emir said it was not true
that Fulani herdsmen were
responsible for the destruction
of lives and property in some
parts of the country stressing
that Fulanis were peaceful,
lovable and honest in their
dealings with other tribes.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari, however,
urged individuals to always
assess issues and desist from
embarking on controversial
matters capable of causing
disharmony in the country.
Similarly, the Emir also received
the leadership of the Ilorin
Emirate Development
Association led by its National
President and Public Relations
Officer, Alhaji Abdullahi
Babatunde Salaudeen and
Mallam Uthman Jagunmo,
respectively, as part of
preparations towards the
forthcoming Eid-el- Kabir Sallah
celebration.
The group expressed
dissatisfaction over the
unfortunate incidence of stone
throwing and sachet water
pelting on some personalities
by hoodlums at the Ilorin
Central Yidi praying ground in
the past stressing that such
attitude was alien to Ilorin
tradition.
They however assured the
monarch of its readiness to
curb the recurrence of such
dastard act adding that
sensitization and advocacy
moves have began across the
state especially in the Ilorin
Emirate ahead of the Sallah
celebration. |
