The Kwara State Governor, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed, has commended royal fathers from Kwara North Senatorial District for maintaining peace and harmony in the zone and the state.
Ahmed gave the commendation on Tuesday at the Government House in Ilorin while hosting the royal fathers.
According to him, the royal fathers have played stabilizing factors in ensuring success of government programmes and policies in the region.
Ahmed urged the Nigeria Police to do more in tackling various security challenges across the country by collaborating with the traditional rulers who are custodians of values and traditions of the various communities rather than playing politics with the lives of the people.
The governor promised the police and other security agencies in the state more support in ensuring that Kwara citizens are well protected.
Responding on behalf of his colleagues, Etsu Pategi, Alhaji Ibrahim Chatta Umar, commended Governor Ahmed for always consulting with the royal fathers on policies and programmes of his administration.
Chatta pledged unalloyed support and commitment to the progress and development of the state.
