Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq of Kwara State and the immediate past Senate President, Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki, snubbed each other at the Ilorin Eid Praying ground on Tuesday
The two political leaders joined other dignitaries in the two-Rakat prayer to mark the celebrations.
Solacebase reports that this is the first time Bukola Saraki would observe Eid prayer in Ilorin since the emergence of Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq.
Gov. Abdulrazaq and the All Progressives Congress (APC) had dislodged Saraki and, the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) through the “O’toge revolution” movement.
Bukola Saraki had arrived in Ilorin four days ago, hosting many of his allies.

Many had thought the former governor of the state would jet out of Ilorin as he did during the last Eid-el-Fitri festival in order to avoid a possible clash between his supporters and those of Abdulrazaq.
The two political leaders are not in good terms.
However, Bukola surprised many as he arrived at the Eid praying ground around 8:30 with a retinue of aides and former political office holders who are his loyalists.
Those among them were former PDP National Chairman, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, and immediate past House of Assembly Speaker, Dr Ali Ahmad.
At the praying ground are former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Moddibo Alfa Belgore, Director-General of the National Institute for Legislative Studies, Prof. Abubakar Sulaiman, an aspirant for the APC National Chairman, Mall. Saliu Mustapha, former Grand Khadi, Justice Salihu Olohuntoyin Mohammed, among others.
