Ahmed, party chair, supporters receive Saraki in Kwara
Kwara State Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed and the state Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Ishola Balogun-Fulani, yesterday received the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, at the Ilorin International Airport. Also on hand to welcome him was a crowd of APC supporters, loyalists, stalwarts and well wishers.
The mammoth crowd had waited patiently from 8 am till 1.35 pm when the presidential jet that conveyed Saraki and his entourage touched down at the airport.
Yesterday's visit was Saraki's first to Ilorin since his election as Senate President on June 9, 2015.
Saraki arrived in Ilorin in company with Senators Ahmed Sanni Yerima, Andy Uba, Danjuma Goje; former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola; and former Acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje.
It was a thug of war before the Senate President could move from the tarmac to the arrival hall as everyone struggled to catch a glimpse of him. In a brief chat with newsmen, Saraki, beaming with smiles all the way, thanked Kwarans for their support and prayer towards his emergence as the Senate President.
"It is a great reception. I will have time later to thank the people of Kwara State. It is a great opportunity for the people of Kwara State to have one of them to serve at this level.
"I pray and thank all the people for their support and prayers and everything, and I assure them that I will not disappoint them," Saraki said
