Peace Must Return To All Kaduna Troubled Communities – Gov Sani

Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani has said his administration initiated dialogue with key stakeholders on the key challenges facing the state and the pathway to sustainable peace, progress and development, vowing that peace must return to the troubled communities.

In his Eid-el-Kabir message to the people, Sani said his government requires peace and stability to realize the administration’s vision.

Sani, while commending the security agencies and community leaders for the progress so far made in restoring peace to some of the troubled communities, urged all to redouble their efforts to ensure that peace and stability returns to virtually all communities in Kaduna State.

The governor said, “I wish to extend my hearty congratulations to my Muslim brothers and sisters across the world on the special occasion of Eid-El-Kabir. It is a festival of sacrifice and thanksgiving to the Almighty Allah for his wonderful deeds in our lives. We adore Him for making us part of the living in these difficult and challenging times. We shall remain faithful to Him now and forever.

“This celebration is taking place at a time when we are being challenged individually and collectively to buckle up and make huge contributions to the rebuilding of our dear country. It is also a time for soul searching for the good people of Kaduna State. This celebration offers us a unique opportunity to rebuild communal trust and resume the arduous task of reviving our local economies”.

Sani added, “Our dear president, Bola Ahmed Tinubu has hit the ground running.

He has taken a couple of hard decisions aimed at resetting the Nigerian economy, changing our mindsets and putting the country on the path of sustainable progress and development.

The measures being put in place require our collective sacrifices. The pains would be temporary. Let us give the President our support and cooperation.

“We are committed to delivering on our promises to the good people of Kaduna State. In a short time from now, we shall commence our rural transformation drive. It shall be all embracing and extensive. The economies of the rural communities will be revived through massive infrastructural development. We shall adopt the bottom – up, inclusive approach. Key stakeholders will be fully involved in this task.

“But we require peace and stability for us to realize our vision. Our troubled communities must experience peace again. For this to happen, we need to step back and ask ourselves some hard questions. Have we been fair to our neighbours? Have we contributed to enhancing or undermining peace in our communities? Are we happy with the level of distrust, disharmony and disillusionment in our communities? Can we, in all honesty, say we have been doing the will of Allah? If we sincerely search our consciences, it would be clear to us that we have indeed distanced ourselves from Allah and urgently need to seek His forgiveness.”
