However, Kwara Council of Chiefs was duly represented by some of our first class Emirs present at the event.

“Insha Allah, I will personally visit you soonest at your palace to rejoice with you and the entire people of Zazzau Emirate. May Allah give you sound health, wisdom, comfort and long reign on the throne.”
