JUST IN: Emir of Ilorin Cancels 80th Birthday Celebration

The Emir of Ilorin and Chairman, Kwara State Council of Chiefs, Alhaji Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, has discontinued all programmes lined up for the celebration of his 80th birthday.

Sulu-Gambari will clock 80 years on Wednesday.

But the monarch has directed the cancellation of all social or religious gatherings to that effect.

A statement on Monday by the Emir’s media aide, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowana, said no congregational prayers should be held as usual in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

He cited that the cancellation of the annual birthday prayers in the Emir’s palace was part of measures towards supporting the government’s efforts in reducing the spread of COVID-19 infection in the nation.
