According to Alh. Badaki, who is the National President of Iyara Development Association (IDA), this year’s celebration is unique as it coincides with the annual Ramadan fast, urging Nigerians and Iyara Community in particular to use the period for fervent prayers for an end to insecurity in the country.
He solicited for prayers for the safe release of the Chief Imam of Iyara land, Sheikh Quasim Musa, stressing the need for the people to be security conscious towards nipping the State of kidnapping, banditry and other security challenges in the bud.
While felicitating with Iyara and Ijumu Christian Community on the celebration, Alh. Badaki enjoined Christians to emulate Jesus Christ for the society to be a better place.
