A long-standing supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Saliu Mustapha, has been named Turaki of Ilorin. The Emir of Ilorin, Ibrahim Sulu-Gambari, conferred Mustapha, founder of Saliu Mustapha Foundation and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), with the title on Thursday. The Turaki title was previously held by the Sarakis. The late Olusola Saraki once held the title before he was elevated to the position of a Waziri. His son, and a former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, stepped into the father’s shoes between 2006 and 2018. The Younger Saraki was later turbaned as the Waziri, succeeding his father for the second time.

About two months before he was to leave office, in 2019, as vice-chancellor of Kwara State University, Abdulrasheed Na’Allah wrote to then Kwara State governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, asking for a N74 million official vehicle; a vehicle he would go away with after he left office. This was despite the institution borrowing almost N400 million monthly to pay salaries, according to a panel that later probed the decision. The N74 million vehicle was part of the N100 million severance package that the panel indicted the vice-chancellor of going away with under controversial circumstances. The professor was given a chance to defend himself before the panel. He did not.
