The IPDC Chairman Sheik Abubakar Abdul Rahman, who Served as a resource person to the program. Speaking on the Theme: “Interfaith Engagement on Peaceful Elections” stated that, the family relations, Religion, and tradition were in existence before the Politics, or political parties. He called on all religious leaders to use their platforms to preach peace, and to pray for the nation to emerge victorious after the 2024 general elections.
