Fulani herdsmen are not criminals - Emir of Ilorin

Date: 2016-08-29

The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman Kwara State Traditional Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has urged Nigerians to ensure that the desired peace and tranquillity continue to reign in the nation through harmonious working relationship and honesty.

He added that this became necessary due to the infiltration of attitudes that are alien to the practice and tradition of the people of Kwara State especially indigenes of Ilorin by some unknown persons.

The monarch stated this on Monday while received members of Balogun Gambari community who paid him a thank you visit over the elevation of the Balogun Gambari of Ilorin, Alhaji Adedayo Balogun as the most senior chancellor in the Ilorin Emirate Council.

He added that it is outrightly not true that Fulani herdsmen are responsible for the destruction of lives and property in some part of the country stressing that Fulanis are peaceful, lovable and honest in their dealings with other tribes.

Alhaji Sulu-Gambari however urged individuals to always assess issues in their normal for and desist from embarking on controversial matters that are capable of causing disharmony in the country.

Similarly, the Emir also received the leadership of the Ilorin Emirate development association led by its National President and Public Relations Officer, Alhaji Abdullahi Babatunde Salaudeen and Mallam Uthman Jagunmo respectively as part of preparation towards the forthcoming Eid-el- Kabir Sallah celebration.

The group expressed dissatisfaction over the unfortunate incidence of stone throwing and sachet water petting on some personalities by hoodlums at the Ilorin Central Yidi praying ground in the past stressing that such attitude was alien to Ilorin tradition.

They however assured the monarch of its readiness to curb the recurrence of such dastard act adding that sensitization and advocacy moves have began across the state especially in the Ilorin Emirate ahead of the Sallah celebration.

In his reaction, Alhaji Sulu-Gambari thanked the group for their foresight and genuine interest in the peaceful co-existence of the people of the Ilorin Emirate and Kwara State at large.
