President Bola Tinubu has congratulated the Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, on completing 31 years as the traditional ruler of the ancient emirate.
Tinubu described the monarch as one of Nigeria’s distinguished traditional rulers, crediting him with promoting peace, stability and unity in Ilorin and other parts of the country.
The President’s congratulatory message was contained in a statement issued by the Presidency on Wednesday.
Tinubu also commended Sulu-Gambari’s contributions to the legal profession, recalling that he served as a Justice of the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, before becoming the Emir of Ilorin.
He noted that the monarch discharged his judicial responsibilities with dignity and integrity before taking up the traditional leadership role.
The President further praised Sulu-Gambari’s stewardship as chairman of the Kwara State Council of Traditional Rulers, saying he had provided purposeful leadership while protecting the heritage and dignity of the Ilorin throne.
“On behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, I congratulate Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari on his 31st anniversary on the throne,” Tinubu said.
