Saliu Mustapha, a long-standing supporter of the President, Muhammadu Buhari , has been appointed as the Turaki of Ilorin by the Emir, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari.
The event met after the Emir had paid the annual traditional Sallah homage to the governor at the Government House, Ilorin. In 2009, when a breakaway faction of the ANPP led by Muhammadu Buhari formed the Congress for Progressive Change, Mustapha was the national deputy chairman, a position he held until the party merged and formed APC.
“Another person we all know that expends all his resources in the Ilorin emirate and its affairs — His title is ‘Turaki’ of Ilorin. He is Saliu Mustapha,” the monarch said.The title was last held by his late father and the first commissioner of Finance in the state, AbdulRazaq Ganiyu Folorunsho, who died last year.
