By Achadu Gabriel, Kaduna

The President of the Auchi Progressive Union (APU) Kaduna branch, Alh. A.M. Giwa, has called on members to embrace strength and unity to overcome life’s challenges. He made the remarks during his welcome address at the 2024 Auchi Day celebration, held over the weekend in Kaduna.

Alh. Giwa described the event as a moment to reflect on the community’s shared heritage, achievements, and resilience.

“Today, we gather once again to celebrate our community’s strength, resilience, and unity. As we mark another year of togetherness, we honor our shared values, traditions, and achievements,” he stated.

Emphasizing Togetherness and Inclusivity

The APU President encouraged members to reflect on their collective accomplishments, reaffirm their commitment to one another, and continue building a brighter future.

“Our community is more than just a geographical location; it’s a family. We’ve supported each other through times of joy and sorrow, triumphs and struggles, growth and progress,” he said.

Alh. Giwa also emphasized the importance of fostering inclusivity, empowering youth, women, and seniors, and promoting peace, love, and kindness.

“This celebration is a reminder that together, we can achieve greatness,” he remarked, while expressing gratitude to past leaders, patrons, the women’s wing, and elders for their unwavering support.

Highlights of the Event

The event featured the presentation of awards to distinguished personalities who have contributed significantly to the growth of the society and APU.

Prominent attendees included former Edo State Commissioner for Youths and retired Brigadier General Ali Baba, who commended the annual celebration, describing it as “interesting and deserving of continuity.”

Special guests such as Mrs. Zainab K. Owolabi and Rahab Ibrahim also spoke about the importance of the gathering, noting its role in fostering unity and happiness.

Lecture on Islamic Inheritance

During a lecture at the event, an imam addressed the Islamic stance on inheritance for a Christian widow of a late Muslim husband. He cited the Hadith of Al-Tirmidhi, explaining that such a widow is not entitled to inherit unless her deceased son left a will. Even in that case, she would only receive 6% of the son’s wealth.

The lecture sparked reflections on interfaith inheritance and the importance of preparing for future generations.
