Nigerian Senate President, Ahmed Lawan would on March 20, 2022, be honoured with a chieftaincy title by Kaima Emirate Council, Kwara State.
The purpose of the honour was to recognize the contribution of the Senate President towards the development of Kwara State.
Lawan would be turbaned as the Magayaki of Kaiama Emirate, which according to the council means the lead warrior that ensures the Emirate is protected, survuives and progresses.
Recall that the Emir of Daura, Umar-Faruk Umar, turbaned the minister of transportation, Rotimi Amaechi as the Dan Amanar Daura, which means ‘Trusted Son of Daura’.
In a statement signed by Special Adviser to President Senate on Media, Ola Awoniyi, Ahmad would be recognized for his support for development in the Emirate and his exemplary leadership of the ninth senate.
It reads; “Kaiama is in the Kwara North Senatorial District and currently being represented in the Senate by Senator Sadiq Umar.
“The Senate President and his entourage from Abuja arrived in Ilorin on Saturday morning and will proceed to Kaiama on Sunday for the ceremony.
“Shortly on his arrival in Ilorin on Saturday, the Senate President attended the wedding Fatiha of Aisha, daughter of Professor Abubakar Sulaiman, the Director General of the National Institute for Legislative and Democratic Studies(NILDS).
