"On behalf of the government and people of Kwara State, I congratulate His Royal Highness the Emir of Ilorin and the Chairman of the Kwara State Council of Chiefs Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari (CFR) on the silver jubilee of his rise to the venerable throne of Shehu Alimi," the Governor said in a statement.

"Ilorin under His Royal Highness has not only emerged as one of the most populous and fastest growing metropolis in the recent years, it has indeed been peaceful while recording appreciable investments from far and wide. There is no denying the laudable contributions of His Royal Highness to these remarkable milestones. Indeed, his generosity and wise counsel are acknowledged by all.

"I therefore congratulate His Royal Highness on the silver jubilee anniversary of his ascension of the throne and pray Almighty Allah, who crowns all kings, to grant him a long, successful and enduring reign in good health.
