Lanre Sagaya; Mufti of Ilorin, Sheikh Suleiman Farouk Onikijipa; and many others.
In the Governor's entourage were the Turaki of Ilorin and Senator representing Kwara Central, Salihu Mustapha; House of Representatives members Ahmad Yinka Aluko and Mukhtar Shagaya; Kwara House of Assembly Leader Hon.
