It is worthy of note that I was already an integral part of the Rebirth Movement, pursuing the dream and vision of a Rebirthed Kwara under the sanguine and delectable Mal. I however started paying more attention to SMK when her husband threw his hat unexpectedly into the 2019 gubernatorial contest. We never got talking outside the usual pleasantries, which often last few seconds, before myself and friends moves to our ‘library’ (IMK) for an engaging friendly and convivial engagement. So, whenever I visit the Ilorin home of the Kawu Modibbos, I often see SMK, I’ll greet her she’ll answer with courtesy and undisguised respect, even when she knew next to nothing about me, my personality, believes and the undeniable ethical stubbornness and loyalty to my conscience. I’ve never missed any opportunity to tap from the journalistic cum managerial experience of IMK, he’s also a damn good historian especially when it comes to contemporary Ilorin issues and the political trajectory of Kwara State, with gift for remembering dates and the major dramatis personae. Ish’aq Modibbo Kawu (IMK) being one of his protégé and admirers of his large repository of knowledge. Although, I’ve known from afar, Sa’adatu Moddibo Kawu (SMK) the Kwara State Commissioner for Tertiary Education, Science and Technology, for more than 3 years, as one of the regular visitors to the Ilorin home of Mal.
