Kaduna State governor-elect, Sen. Uba Sani, has said with the spiritual and physical renewal after one month of Ramadan fast, Nigerians are now adequately equipped to face new challenges and avail themselves with fresh opportunities for personal and collective advancement.
Sani in his message to Muslims for the Eid-El-Fitr celebrations, noted that leaders must prioritise the welfare and security of citizens and put in place and effectively implement policies and programmes that would raise the quality of life of the people and make them secure in their communities.
The governor-elect said he would further raise the bar of governance in Kaduna State.
He sought Allah’s guidance and courage to overcome whatever challenges, adding: “As we look to the future with hope, we pray for Allah’s guidance. May He give us the courage to face whatever may come our way. May He bring our people together to work for the common good. May forgiveness, love, patience, goodness, kindness, compassion and mercy be our watchwords.
“If we fail to rise up to our responsibilities, democracy will cease to make meaning to our people. It is by making our people happy and secure that we can sustain and deepen this democracy.
Sani said they were assembling a formidable team of technocrats and politicians that would hit the ground running in the state after the May 29 inauguration.
“We are keen to build on the good foundation laid by my leader and mentor, Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. We shall further raise the bar of governance and make Kaduna State the model of development and peaceful coexistence in Nigeria,” he said.
