AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, governor of Kwara, and Bukola Saraki, former senate president, met at the Eid praying ground in Ilorin, on Tuesday.

Despite their political differences, there was an atmosphere of peace, orderliness and harmony at the Eid ground.

Some of the Muslim faithful who prayed there said the situation was far from what obtained in 2019 when leaders of opposition and their supporters were often targeted for ridicule and intimidation.

“We are very impressed at the maturity of the Governor and his team. They seem to be deliberate in evolving a new state where no one is a victim of political witch-hunt,” an elder statesman said.

Muslim congregants were heard commending the Governor for the conducive atmosphere and avoiding unnecessary rivalry or showmanship at the praying ground.

Meanwhile, the Ilorin praying ground has taken a new look amid construction of new inner roads leading to the Eid and provision of several pour-flush toilets and ablution points.
