It was gathered that the prayer session which included recitation of complete Qur’an and slaughtering of camels, attracted other well wishers from within and outside Kano State.
Speaking shortly after the prayer, Rarara said the issue of insecurity bedevilling Nigeria required divine intervention, hence his decision to hold the prayer session.
Despite government efforts to address security issues in the country, he insisted that the event is not in any way related to politics and is instead intended to ask God for intervention.

Rarara, who performs songs for other politicians, including those in the ruling All Progressives Congress, remarked that peace is essential, particularly as the nation prepares for general elections in 2023.
He added that without peace, development would not be possible, adding that “even our businesses will not be possible.”
“We have gathered here to pray against rising insecurity in our beloved country, especially our northern region.
“Everybody is worried about the security situation in this country. There are a lot of efforts by the governments at all levels, but we need God’s intervention.

“That is why we are here to pray, to read the complete Qur’an and pray to God to help us with peace and harmony in our country, so that we continue to grow from all spheres of development,” Rarara said.
He also said that the event was an avenue for Kannywood industry artists to meet with one another and strengthen the existing relationship in the industry.
