Traditional rulers in Kwara State at the weekend declared support for the political leadership of the immediate past governor of the state, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
The monarchs of Ilorin emirate extraction comprising five local governments viz; Ilorin West, South, East, Asa and Moro numbering 350 also expressed support and loyalty to the state Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed.
Saraki and Ahmed recently left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the All Progressives Congress (APC) while some remnants of the dynasty of the late Dr. Olusola Saraki have taken over the PDP structure, describing Bukola and Ahmed’s defection as “good riddance”.
Mogaji Nda of Ilorin, Alhaji Salihu Woru, who addressed a press conference said, “We, the undersigned traditional chiefs appointed by the Emir of Ilorin from the various districts, wards, towns and villages of Ilorin Emirate in Ilorin West, East, South, Asa and Moro LGAs in Kwara State having painstakingly deliberated extensively on the new political development in Nigeria, particularly as it will affect the general wellbeing of our people, progress and development of the state in future and having held necessary consultations with our large people, we have unanimously resolved to support the political leadership of Senator (Dr) Abubakar Bukola Saraki and Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed. Our decision is based purely on their unequal track records of unprecedented achievements in the state and beyond.
