Abba Yusuf Congratulates Abdulrazaq on Ilorin Turbaning
On September 16, 2026, Kano State Governor Abba Yusuf congratulated his Kwara State counterpart, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, on his turbaning as the Sardauna of Ilorin. Yusuf's congratulatory message, issued by his spokesperson Sunusi Dawakin-Tofa, praised Abdulrazaq's exemplary leadership and commitment to good governance.
He expressed that the traditional honor reflects the confidence the people of Ilorin have in Abdulrazaq's leadership. Yusuf prayed for Abdulrazaq's continued wisdom and health to serve Kwara State and Nigeria effectively.
The turbaning event was attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima, who also inaugurated a garment factory in Ilorin, capable of employing 4,000 people, and commissioned the 11-storey Kwara Revenue Service House. Shettima urged political unity among Kwara politicians, referencing President Bola Tinubu's reconciliation with northern governors after the 2023 elections, and called for politics without bitterness as the 2027 elections approach.
