Alhaji Sulu-Gambari described the two jurists as examplary models to younger generations for their numerous selfless services to humanity through public service and personal endowments which has earned them the prestigious rank of Officer of the Federal Republic, (OFR).
In a congratulatory message issued by his spokesman, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, the emir noted with passion that as the serving Chief Judge of Kwara State and son of retired Justice Saidu Kawu, the late Madawaki of Ilorin, Justice Durosinlohun Kawu has no doubt carved a niche for himself in the judicial service and beyond.

The statement further added that, retired Justice Idris Haroon has contributed to the society in numerous ways while in the service of the Kwara State Government as the Shariah Court Grand Khadi and now as the Chairman of the Council of Muslim Organisations, (CMO) as well as membership of many religious and cultural organisations in Ilorin Emirate.”
The emir however described the national honour of awards bestowed on them as well-deserving and prayed Allah to grant the duo of Justice Kawu and retired Justice Haroon sound health and long life to witness more of such remarkable landmarks on earth.
