President Muhammadu Buhari has joined other great Nigerians to warmly felicitate with the Emir of Ilorin, His Royal Highness, Alhaji Ibrahim Kolapo Sulu-Gambari on his 78th birthday.
In a release from the office of presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, the President said he was joining the indigenes of Kwara State, the historic Ilorin emirate and all associates of the Emir in celebrating the septuagenarian, whose reign on the throne has ushered in an era of peace, development and prosperity for his people.
The President commended the traditional ruler for his simple, disciplined and modern leadership style, which he has translated into remarkable developmental strides by promoting the values of good education, harmonious living, tolerance for divergence and the power of collective, progressive investments.
President Buhari re-affirmed that the Emir of Ilorin, who is also the Chairman of the Kwara State Traditional Council, has contributed tremendously to the development of Nigeria, starting out early as a lawyer and later a jurist, and regularly providing wise counsels to leaders and serving the nation dutifully whenever he was called upon.
