The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday congratulated the former governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Ibrahim Idris, on his turbanning as the Jakandan Sokoto by His Eminence, Sultan Muhammed Abubakar Sa’ad, the Sultan of Sokoto.

The party described the turbanning of Alhaji Idris as well-deserving given his exceptional patriotism and sacrificial contributions towards the unity, stability, and economy of the nation as a political leader as well as an entrepreneur in critical sectors of the national economy.

The party in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said “Alhaji Abubakar Idris stands out as a detribalized Nigerian and one of the leading lights in the collective pursuit of democratic tenets of inclusiveness, rule of law, equality, transparency, mutual respect, and good governance at all levels of national participation.

“As the governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Idris remains unmatched with his unprecedented massive infrastructural development as well as empowerment of citizens in every sphere of life.

“Furthermore, Alhaji Idris remains a pillar and stabilizing force for our great party, the PDP at the national, ,north-central and state (Kogi) levels. He has remained exceptionally humble, accessible, and loyal to the cause of our party despite his attainments”.

The PDP prays that God will continue to bless Idris with more wisdom and strength as he serves the nation and humanity at large.
