The celebration attracted Muslims from across Nigeria and West African countries, especially members of the Quadiriyah movement.
Onikijipa recalled the legacies of late Quadiriyah leaders, including Sheikh Rufaai Abubakar Inda Salaty and Nasiru Muhammad Al-Muktar Kabara, who, he said, upheld the teachings of the religion while leading the movement.
He tasked the current leaders of Quadiriyah movement to endeavour to study the contributions of past leaders whom he noted sacrificed for the growth of the society and the Islamic religion.
