    Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto state, who expressed appreciation to the donors and guests at the star-studded event, recalled that the choice of the guests; particularly his counterpart, Sen. Diri and Saraki, was a reflective of the historic ties between Sokoto and Ogbia/Ilorin.

    According to him, both Chief Melford Okilo (1903-2008) and Oloye Abubakar Olusola Saraki (1933-2012), played significant roles in the emergence of Alhaji Shehu Shagari (1925-2018), as President in the Second Republic.
