The Governor's presentation of the Speaker to Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari as his successor has been widely interpreted by observers and political commentators as a move not only to seek royal blessings
“The choice of a young and vibrant Azhari scholar as the new Chief Imam Fulani reflects the commitment of our community, which His Royal Highness symbolises, to continue to mobilise different demographies of the Muslim ummah for the greater good and development.
“I ask Allaah to guide and protect the new Chief Imam, perfect His blessings upon him, and give him long life and good health in the service of the ummah. I also urge everyone to rally round the new Chief Imam in the overall interest of our community,” the Governor said.
Our gubernatorial candidate and speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Engr. Salihu Yakubu Danladi (SYD), is a level-headed and progressive young man. We are with him on this journey to consolidate the transformation agenda for Kwara. My profound gratitude to H.E. President Bola
