  "account": "On Wednesday, September 16, Kwara State Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq (CON) will be honored as the Sardauna of Ilorin. We express gratitude to Almighty Allah and His Royal Highness Mai Martaba Emir of Ilorin Dr Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari for this distinguished recognition. The late Sir Ahmadu Bello, a celebrated figure in Nigeria's history, serves as the benchmark for this honor. Abdulrazaq, unlike the late Sardauna, is not Ahmadu Bello but has demonstrated remarkable progress in Ilorin's infrastructure and development. He is known for his humility, approachability, and deep understanding of governance. His Kwara State Social Investment Programme (KWASSIP) and free health insurance have positively impacted millions of residents. The Sardauna of Ilorin is a champion of gender parity, equitable education, and cultural preservation, leaving a lasting legacy for Kwara State.",
