The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman, Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari has pledged full support to complement government efforts in addressing insecurity and other social vices in the state.
The Emir noted that the efforts of the Kwara State Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq towards fighting insecurity and banditry in the state cannot be over emphasised. He stressed the need for traditional institutions to be a strong vanguard of the actualisation of the desired peace in the state.
Seriously condoned
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari expressed concern over the prevailing insecurity across the country even as he commended governments at all levels for their proactiveness in ensuring that the dastardly act is seriously condoned and nipped in the board.
He stated this at a special prayer organised in his palace for the state and Nigeria.
The prayer was attended by Alhaji Razaq Jiddah, Alhaji Saadudeen Salaudeen, and other top government officials who represented the Kwara State Government while the Commissioner of Police, CP Adekimi Ojo, was also in attendance.
Other stakeholders at the prayer session led by the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Shiehk Muhammad Solih were traditional Chiefs across Ilorin Emirate, Islamic scholars, associations and party chieftains.
Alhaji Sulu-Gambari said that “the special prayer was organised to support government organs and security agencies in the relentless efforts of making Kwara State and Nigeria at large, peaceful destinations for residents and visitors.”
During the prayer session, the Chief Imam of Ilorin, Muhammad Solih prayed for peaceful coexistence, religious and social harmony across the state and in Nigeria at large.
He committed the entire people of Kwara state and Nigeria at large into the hands of Almighty Allah for continued protection, guidance and providence.
