Pre-Durbar rally was, yesterday, held across major streets of Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, ahead of today’s grandeur tradition, where horses dressed in multi-coloured attire are rolled out by eminent personalities depicting the tradition of the people.
Sango, Kulende, Murtala Mohammed Road, Ahmadu Bello Way, Unity Road, Ibrahim Taiwo Road, Suru-Lere, Agaka, Emirs Road among others are the common routes the horse riders traverse.
One of the panegyrics of the people of Ilorin is that as big as the town is, it has no masquerade but that the only replica of such a masquerade is the horse.
