Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed has hailed the elevation of the Senate President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki from the title of Turaki of Ilorin to Waziri of Ilorin by the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji 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.

The governor observed that the elevation would no doubt serve as morale booster for the Senate President to continue to do more for the emirate and the entire state.

Ahmed enjoined the new Waziri Ngeri of Ilorin not to relent on his oars to attract development and growth to the state and empowerment for its people.

The governor prayed God to guide the new Waziri and grant him wisdom to pilot the affairs of the new traditional office.

The loyalty from this governor is questionable, even after second tenor he is still this loyal to his boss, things Fashola, Obiano, Ganjule and Emmanuel can't even think of doing in first tenor. I wish all human beings can be like this, politics aside please.


But no loyal turn dog o

See dem.. Waziri ko, Wiz Khalifa ni

There is nothing like elevation there,it is ordinary name change giving to him.It adds no economic value to the state or what so ever.Look this is the 21st century let's stop all this archaic values of traditional white wash.

I thought Saraki is the Emir of Ilorin? Anyway, no much difference, congratulations to Otunba Bukola Saraki

Birds of a feather flock together, polithiefcians grease your palm with peanuts and you in return give them big big titles to make them look like saints, stupid people everywhere.

Have we easily forgotten that Saraki has bought Kwara state from his father.
Well I felicitate wit him.

Congratulations to the Waziri

Please is the Emir Yoruba or the usual suspects?

Saraki want to make sure to have that tittle of Waziri like Atiku before he eventually defect..The pdp ticket battle gonna be between Saraki and Atiku

Saraki is gathering his firewood for 2019...
