Fityanul Islam Is A Partner In Peaceful Coexistence – Uba Sani

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has said that collaboration between members of Fityanul Islam First Aid Group and security agencies across the country has enhanced peaceful coexistence in Nigeria.

At the national seminar and award ceremony of the group yesterday, he also noted that members of the First Aid Group are always the first responders in times of natural disasters, accidents or fire outbreaks.
He commended the members for performing these selfless tasks pro bono, maintaining that only Allah (SWT) can adequately reward them for their service to humanity.

Governor Sani also said the group helps to conduct the yearly pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia by ensuring a seamless process from the hajj camp to the airport and on to the Holy Land.

According to him, members of the Fityanul Islam Aid Group usually help the aged and physically challenged perform their religious obligations during Friday prayers.

Underscoring the importance of the group, the governor disclosed that he was at Asaba, the Delta State capital, on Saturday for a function. Still, he had to return immediately to attend the national seminar.

“I am here just to demonstrate to you that we have been following all the good deeds that you have been doing and to show gratitude. God will reward you abundantly for all your good deeds,” he said.
Sani, who said that over 2,000 members of the Aid Group attended the seminar, pointed out that”

GovGo”ernment 100% with you, promising to provide all the necessary support to continue propagating peaceful coexistence across the country.

“Kaduna” is the capital of Northern Nigeria. All that my Government has been doing is to return it to its past glory. This can only be achieved with peace. We will ensure that every citizen is afforded their rights under the law.

“When we were elected, I swore with the Qurán that I would be fair to all the people in Kaduna State. Being fair to all and sundry is what brings peace. Our religion teaches us that even animals deserve to be treated fairly.

“So, every human being, no matter his or her status, deserves to be treated with fairness and justice,” he argued, vowing to be fair to both Muslims and Christians as well as all sects within the two religions in Kaduna State.

The Governor made a personal donation of two buses to the National Headquarters of the Fityanul Islam Aid Group, and a bus and two vehicles to the Kaduna State chapter. He also gave N50 million as transport fare to those who attended the seminar.

Earlier, the Kaduna State Chairman of Fityanul Islam, Sheikh Rabiu Abdullahi Zaria, described the Governor as a fair-minded leader who has shown interest in religious activities.

“We have nothing but prayers for him; he has given us support and shown us love and concern in all our activities. Time will not permit me to list what he has done for us, even before he became senator and now that he is Governor,” he said.

Sheikh Rabiu reminded that the national seminar, which Governor Uba Sani facilitated, was conducted to strengthen the capacity of select members of the Aid Group, adding that its membership is over one million strong.

He pledged to pray for the GovernoGovernor’ss and “at the”right time, we will demonstrate our support for you, just as you have shown love to us, we will openly show ours when the time comes.”

The C”airman pointed out that although Fityanul Islam is a religious organisation and not a political association, it is nonetheless 100% behind Governor Uba Sani.

“The Prophet (SAW) said that anyone who has done good to you, pray for him if you can’t locate the gesture. We have something to repay the Governor with, and the time is fast approaching. We are equally praying for you.

Sheikh Rabiu Abdullahi Zaria told the Governor that “by the Grace of God, you will conclude your first term successfully and you will be re-elected for a second term.”
