The president, Muhammadu Buhari, has described the late pioneer Grand Khadi of Kwara State, Justice Abdulkadir Orire as ‘a man of sterling character who had brought integrity and respectability to his job during his distinguished judicial career.’
In a statement signed by senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari said that: “the late Grand Khadi of Kwara State was a gentleman who had an untainted record of service whose good conduct should be emulated by other members of the judiciary.”
