In his remarks, the Emir of Daura, Alhaji Farouq Umar Farouq, charged those who participated in the prayer session to take the message to their homes and communities so that prayers would be intensified all across the state for Allah’s intervention in the affairs of the state and the nation.
He thanked the governor for his commitment and steadfastness in ensuring peace, security and development in the state in particular and the country at large.
Earlier in his opening remarks, the chairman of the main organising committee, Abidu R. Yazid, said August 1 was set aside being the day the two emirates of Katsina and Daura were brought under one province.
He said the trials and tribulations facing the country in general and the state in particular, were only a test from God and they required nothing but return to Him with total submission.
Scholars from different sects took turns to give their remarks, admonishing people and praying for the return of peace and security to the state and the country.
