“By the grace of God, all the programmes and projects he has embarked upon, in economic, political and social domains will materialize for the betterment of our people.

“So at the end of his tenure, Nigeria will be more United, more peaceful and more prosperous,” Prof. Gambari said.

Gambari was received at the Ilorin International Airport by Kwara State Government officials, led by the deputy Governor, Mr. Kayode Alabi.

“I am grateful to the Almighty Allah for giving me life and health to be able to come back to the city of my birth from where all my trajectory occurred, and for the State Government for this heroic reception.

“I thank His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, his Deputy, distinguished Senators and all the senior government officials who have been too gracious in welcoming me and of course, the Emir of Ilorin and all members of the community for the warm reception,” Gambari.
