Sulu- Gambari said: “We are excited by your political exploits because of late you have become the beautiful bride whom politicians across the board are beckoning to be in their camps. This is a show of recognition of your worth and achievements as a politician. We are very proud of you.

“It is from here that we prayed for you to become governor, it was here that we prayed for you to become senator and it was from here that we prayed for you to become Senate President and all these came to reality. Today we are also praying from here that God will elevate you beyond your present position.”

The emir noted that he was seated on a very special seat inherited from his forefathers and has their authority to conduct yesterday’s programme.

He also described the event as typical of

Saraki, being proclaimed the next ‘Wazirin Ilorin’ this morning by the Emir of Ilorin.
