Kwara State Governor, Abdulrasaq Abdulrahaman has commended his Cross River State Counterpart, Senator Bassey Otu for appointing Rasheed Olanrewaju Zubair as his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity.
Abdulrahman, who describes Zubairu as his son, views his appointment by Otu as strengthening the bond of national unity and integration.
He said the appointment of the Kwara State indigene and a Muslim into such a sensitive office portrays Governor Otu as a true and detribalized Nigerian.
The Kwara State Governor, who spoke through a letter signed by his deputy,
Chief Kayode Alabi said: “We received with great joy and sense of excitement the news of the appointment of Mr Rasheed Olanrewaju, our dear son and a distinguished Kwaran with excellent character as a special assistant on Media and Publicity in your government.
“This gesture is heartily acknowledged and well appreciated, doubt, this has further demonstrated your Excellency’s profound sense of national unity and integration. You are indeed a true and detribalized Nigerian.
“On behalf of the Government and People of Kwara State, we sincerely express our profound gratitude to your Excellency for this rare opportunity and it is our prayers that the Almighty God will enrich you with wisdom to take Cross River State to greater heights.”
Until his appointment, Rasheed Olanrewaju Zubair, was the Cross River State Senior Correspondent of Africa Independent Television (AIT).
