Eid Ground Sale: IEDPU Slams Allegation Against Govt
The people of Ilorin Emirate have dissociated themselves from the insinuation making the rounds that the Kwara state government intends to sell the Muslim praying ground and the Emir's palace.
The President, Ilorin Emirate Descendants Progressive Union (IEDPU), Justice Saka Yusuf, told newsmen that the union was neither connected to such unfounded allegations nor believe it.
He said "we couldn't have said such a thing. To God, IEDPU never said the government wanted to sell the praying ground and the Emir's palace. Who will the government sell them to and for what purposes? May be the politicians are at work again".
The IEDPU president emphasized that the union is non-partisan and would not be involved in any act that could embarrass Governor AbdulFatah Ahmed or Senator Bukola Saraki.
Yusuf explained that the misunderstanding that ensued over the urbanization law was as a result of communication gap, adding that IEDPU's utmost concern was the interest of Ilorin Emirate and not being a watchdog of the government.
He added, "whatever happened was never a planned affair, but expression of our people's apprehension".
He urged government to do more of public enlightenment through well publicized public hearing and sensitization on its policies.
