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.
