The forum of Magajis and Alanguas of Ilorin Emirate community which comprises over 800 community heads across Kwara Central and Kwara North had met with the former chairman of the Federal Character Commission (FCC), Prof. Shuiab Oba AbdulRaheem, former Minister of National Planning, Prof. Abubakar Olanrewaju Suleiman and former PDP Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje amongst other top Emirate political gladiators from People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressives (APC) on reconciliation with the Senate President, Sen. Bukola Saraki.
The source had it that the reconciliation which was aimed at uniting the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki and other indigenes of the emirate before the 2019 general elections was triggered by the involvement of the Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the affairs of Kwara State politics and the inflammatory comments from the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed following the fallout of the bye-election for Irepodun/Ekiti/Oke-Ero/Isin federal constituency.
According to The National Pilot News; “The reconciliation team had already met with Prof. Shuaib Oba AbdulRaheem at his Adewole residence in Ilorin on Friday, that of Prof Suleiman and Baraje were said to be favourable.”
Sobi FM boss, Mallam Lukman Mustapha and the former member of the House of Representatives for Asa/ Ilorin West Hon Moshood Mustapha are also said to have been pencilled down for visitation by the forum this week, as reported.
