Yakubu Salihu Danladi, a handful of cabinet members, and some political leaders from Ilorin East.
“The government has a clear agenda to leave Kwara a lot better than it met it. We have made impressively positive differences across the state, and you are joining the cabinet to contribute your own bit to the progress so far made.
“Team work, due diligence, hard work, patriotism, and prudence are key to achieving greater efficiency and better outcomes in this important role. I trust you to do your best as you join the cabinet once again,” the governor said.

A.K Jimoh; Hajia Muinat Ibrahim; among other dignitaries and family members.
Prof Jibril, for his part, tasked the commissioner to be loyal, steadfast and committed as he takes up the new responsibility, adding that his pick was a reward for his service to the community and a support for the party.
Alabi, in his remarks, thanked governor AbdulRazaq for again trusting him to serve the state, pledging not to let down his government and the people of the state.
“I am standing here this evening to pledge that all the sterling qualities you have presented in your speech shall be achieved In Shaa Allaah. I am going to work in a way to ensure that all the unwavering commitment, dedication, and loyalty shall continue. I will not fail the administration,” he said.
