The much-anticipated turbaning ceremony of Senator Ahmed Wadada Aliyu as the Magajin Dangi Lafian Bare-Bare, originally scheduled for June 29, 2025, has been officially postponed to Saturday, July 26, 2025.

This change was confirmed by the organizing committee in consultation with the Emirate Council of Lafia, under the leadership of His Royal Highness, Justice Sidi Bage Mohammed I, the Emir of Lafia. The adjustment is aimed at allowing for broader participation of key stakeholders and ensuring the grandeur and inclusivity befitting such a significant cultural and civic occasion.

The venue remains unchanged—the historic Emir’s Palace in Lafia—where dignitaries, traditional leaders, political figures, and citizens from all walks of life will now gather on the new date to witness this symbolic bridge between heritage and leadership.

While the date has shifted, the essence and importance of the event remain steadfast. The turbaning of Senator Wadada, a respected lawmaker and advocate of grassroots development, is more than traditional—it is a celebration of courage, service, and cultural pride.

Organizers of the event express their gratitude to invited guests and the general public for their understanding and continued support. They reaffirm that all preparations are being realigned to ensure a seamless, meaningful, and memorable event on July 26, 2025.

This brief postponement is viewed not as a delay, but as an opportunity to deepen participation and reaffirm the values that the title Magajin Dangi Lafian Bare-Bare represents—bravery, vision, and unwavering service to community and nation.

For further updates, attendees are encouraged to stay connected through official communication channels.
