“I warmly felicitate with the newly installed Sardauna of Ilorin, His Excellency, Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, CON, on this well-deserved and distinguished honour.
The title of Sardauna occupies a position of profound significance in the history, heritage, and traditions of the Ilorin Emirate. I commend His Royal Highness, Alhaji (Dr.) Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, CFR, the Emir of Ilorin, for conferring this distinguished title in recognition of the qualities, leadership, and contributions of the new Sardauna.
The title embodies courage, leadership, loyalty, and devoted service to the Emirate and its people. Your elevation is therefore not merely a mark of honour; it is also a solemn call to greater responsibility and continued service.
As a fellow title-holder in the Ilorin Emirate, I am particularly delighted to welcome you into this distinguished circle of traditional leadership. I am confident that you will bring to the office the same qualities of leadership, dignity, and unwavering commitment to public service that have distinguished your career and tenure in office.
At a time when our Emirate and our state require men and women of character, wisdom, and courage to advance the interests of our people, I am certain that you will make meaningful contributions to the enduring unity, progress, and development of the Ilorin Emirate.
On behalf of my family and myself, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and offer prayers for a successful, impactful, and enduring tenure.
May Almighty Allah grant you wisdom, sound health, and strength, and may He make your tenure as Sardauna of Ilorin a source of lasting honour to you, your family, and the entire Ilorin Emirate. Congratulations, Sardauna.” He concluded.
