Yesterday, I had the honor of joining His Royal Highness, the Emir of Ilorin, Dr. Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, the sons and daughters of the Ilorin Emirate at the 2024 Ilorin Durbar. This annual event is an avenue for the Ilorin community both at home and in the diaspora to come together to celebrate and showcase our rich cultural values.
The Ilorin Durbar is more than just a festival, It symbolizes our unity, pride and enduring cultural heritage. Participating in this grand occasion filled me with pride in our shared traditions.
I wish guests and visitors who honored our invitation a safe journey back to their respective destinations. I also commend the Durbar Committee, under the leadership of Engr. Sulieman Yahaya Alapansanpa, Danmasani of Ilorin, for organizing a cultural experience reflecting our rich traditions.
