He said the Emir’s prayers and fatherly support in the run up to the polls  had assisted the state to record a peaceful process. 

‘We are here this afternoon to condole with Your Royal Highness over the passing of Hajia Maryam Alarape Belgore who died yesterday. May Allah grant her eternal peace. 

We have also come to thank you for your prayers and the peaceful environment in which the elections were conducted, and the outcome of the elections. We will continue to seek your prayers and leadership.

I must say in the whole of Nigeria today this is the first homage being paid by any candidate who has won an election. Your star will continue to shine. We will continue to pray for you and look forward to your leadership as the number one leader in the state and the Chairman of the state Council of Chiefs’ he said.

He sought the Emir’s continued guidance ahead of the Gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections. 

‘On the forthcoming elections, we also seek for your guidance and support. Whatever the outcome of the elections we know it has your blessings and rubber stamp. We thank your Royal Highness’ he added. 

 Responding, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari  sought God’s guidance and wisdom for the newly elected senator and House of Rep members, as they await their inauguration later this year.

He also prayed God to equally grant AbdulRazaq and other candidates of the party success in the  elections scheduled to hold on March 11, reiterating that the Governor has performed wonderfully well to deserve a second term. 

Mustapha and Aluko, in their separate remarks, also eulogized the traditional ruler for standing by them to succeed in the elections, and solicited same for the upcoming elections  in the state- Team@orientactualmags.com
