Date: 2024-09-30

As reported by Vanguard, Hon. AbdulGaniyu Cook Olododo, the newly bestowed Gaskiya Geri of Ilorin, has assured that the honorary title conferred upon him by the Emir of Ilorin, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu Gambari, will inspire him to further enhance his community service efforts for the people of Ilorin Emirate and Kwara State at large.

Olododo, a former lawmaker who represented Ilorin East and South in the House of Representatives, made this statement during a “Thank you visit” to the Emir's palace over the weekend. He was accompanied by a large crowd of friends, associates, and family members from the Okelele area of Ilorin, who sang and danced in celebration.

In his appreciation message, the former lawmaker, and former SSG to the state government thanked the Emir of Ilorin for bestowing the prestigious title of Gaskiya Geri of Ilorin on him saying that there's nothing as good as being appreciated for one's goodness, right in one's community.

Olododo former Council Chairman and former Commissioner at various times said that, the new title would spur him to add more positive values to the socio well being of the residents of Ilorin emirate and Kwara state in general.

Olododo,a respected grassroot politician who said that, he has been using his positions to benefit the people of the community since his adventure into politics decades ago added that, this new title is a call for more service and that he would not relent in its efforts to contribute more to the growth of the town.

The lawmaker therefore urged all sons and daughters of Ilorin to continue to work together in the bid to develop Ilorin Emirates and Kwara state as a whole.

He said,”'i didn't expect this honour,but I'm so happy to have been awarded this prestigious honour of Gaskiya Geri of Ilorin.This is a confirmation of the good works I have been doing since I joined politics.There is nothing as good as being honoured in one's community.Its the best honour anyone could wish for.

“Definitely, this honour would encourage me to serve my community in the Ilorin Emirates and even Kwara state as a whole more. As people have known me to be, I would not go astray in saying the truth and advising our revered monarch on anything other than the truth. For, me truth is sacrosanct whether anyone likes it or not.”

Emir of Ilorin, and Chairman Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari in his remarks while hosting his guests during the Thank- you- Visit sued for peace, love and brotherliness between and amongst sons and daughters of the Ilorin Emirate.

The first-class monarch who prayed for a prosperous and progressive emirate equally admonished his subjects to eschew acrimony and rancour, urging them not to allow political differences to tear the emirate apart.

Alhaji Sulu-Gambari also urged his well-heeled subjects in and out of the country to spare a thought for the development of the state of origin.

“My prayers and ultimate aim since I mounted the throne of my forbears are continued love, peace and progress of my domain.

“The title bestowed on you is providential. It was God's design. So your appreciation should go to God,” the emir added.
