Gobir Describes Death Of Ilorin Chief Imam As A Monumental Loss by Callmedondee(op): 5:06pm On Jan 19
The Sarkin Gobir and Madawaki of the Ilorin Emirate, Alhaji Yakubu Garba Gobir, has mourned the passing of Sheikh Muhammad Bashir Saliu, the Chief Imam of Ilorin, describing his death as a monumental loss to the Ilorin Emirate, Kwara State, and the entire Muslim Ummah.

In a condolence message, Alhaji Gobir paid glowing tribute to the late Islamic scholar, noting that his life was marked by devotion to Allah, service to humanity, and an unwavering commitment to peace and unity.

“The late Chief Imam of Ilorin was a pillar of faith, wisdom, and humility. His guidance and prayers contributed immensely to the peace and religious harmony we enjoy in Ilorin today. His passing is indeed a great loss that will be felt for generations,” Alhaji Gobir said.

The late cleric was appointed as the 12th Chief Imam of the Ilorin Emirate in 1983, a revered position he held with distinction for over four decades. Throughout his tenure, he was widely respected for his deep knowledge of Islamic teachings, moral discipline, and fatherly counsel to both leaders and followers.

Alhaji Gobir prayed that Almighty Allah (SWT) forgives the shortcomings of the deceased, grants him Al-Jannah Firdaus, and comforts the Emir of Ilorin, the Ilorin Emirate Council, the immediate family, and the entire Muslim community over the irreparable loss.

He added that the enduring legacy of faith, peace, and selfless service left behind by the late Chief Imam would continue to inspire present and future generations.

I don't rate any politician who is silent when bandits and terrorists maim and kill his people. I don't rate any politician who would rather play politics with his people than speak.

Tell your Governor to fight the bandits with the security vault in his possession... Instead of vexing your unreasonable anger on innocent people.
