2019: Emir Of Ilorin Restates His Political Neutrality
The Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari has maintained neutrality on his political stance as he says whichever party emerges victorious at the general elections would be supported.
The Emir stated this while receiving members of the state executive of the All Progressives Congress who paid him a courtesy call at his palace.
Briefing journalists after his meeting with the emir, the state APC chairman, Bashir Bolarinwa explained that the emir said he is a father to all and will not discriminate against any party. He also advised that politicians play by the rules just as the electorate should avoid crisis that could lead to mayhem before, during and after the elections.
He restated the fact that his executive is the recognized one as the court judgment only nullified the caretaker committee and not the duly constituted committee.
Bashir noted that the party campaigns will not dwell on name-calling but will be issue based.
