However, Bibiire while congratulating the new Chief Imam of Idere Land, Alhaji Abduljeleel Ajibade Yinusa, noted trust reposed in him by the likes of Alhaji Najeemdeen Afolabi as Naibul-Imam of Idere Land, Prince Alhaji Fadlulahi Olanrewaju, the Eketa Chief Imam of Idereland, Ustaz Najeemdeen Alawiye Ejerin Adini of Idereland, Fadilatul Sheikh Ashimiy Opeyemi Yusuf, mufassir of Idereland Ustaz Muili Ademola Usman Ajanasi of Idereland, has resulted in his ratification as the Idere Chief Imam, and must never be taken for granted.
“Now that the good people of Idere have put you forward, my admonition to all the religious leaders is to borrow a leaf from the past imam to promote peace and unity in idere especially in religious sector.”
“There should not be religious discrimination among other religion,as we first become a citizen of Idere before belonging to a religious group.”, he said.
