He reminded them that these virtues signify that, despite challenging situations, hope and a collective will can triumph. He urged all stakeholders, including leaders and citizens, to recommit to nurturing peace, bolstering security, and building a future where every community can succeed without anxiety.

In addition to expressing condolences, Yilwatda also extended support to those directly impacted by the recent violence.

He noted that the current period is an opportunity to reflect on the spiritual significance of the Sallah festivities while celebrating the indomitable spirit of the Kanam people.
