The Hon. Member commenced his day by gracing the wedding ceremony of Alhaji Suleiman Musa Ijakoro (Iyan Bwari) and his bride, Husnah Musa Ibrahim. The event, which was held under the esteemed auspices of His Royal Highness, Alh. (Dr.) Awwal Musa Ijakoro II, the Sarkin Bwari, provided a platform for Hon.

His presence was a mark of deep respect for the customs and families that form the bedrock of the Bwari community.

Again, in a show of solidarity with the Igbo Community; the Member further demonstrated his inclusive leadership by attending the Igbo Community Assembly (ICA) Igbo Day Celebration 2025. In his remarks, he commended the immense contributions of the Igbo community to the socio-economic landscape of AMAC/Bwari and the FCT at large.
