“As the Muslim Ummah celebrates the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Adha, the Arewa Youth Advancement Forum (AYAF) wishes to extend its warmest felicitations to His Highness Emir Ado Bayero,” the statement said.
The group reiterated that despite the recent unfortunate events, they stand in solidarity with Emir Bayero, as he remains a symbol of peace, progress, and stability, saying his wise leadership and vision have been a shining example to our generation.
