Kaduna State governor, Uba Sani, has attended Christmas carol, where he advised residents to checkmate the antics of ethnic and religious bigots, by living in peace, love and unity for overall progress and development.
The governor who noted that there can be no development without peace and harmony, expressed happiness that everyone now lives freely without intimidation because of their tribal or religious affiliations in Kaduna State.
Governor Sani made this known during the Christmas Carol of Six Lessons organized by the Kaduna State chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) at ECWA Good News, Narayi Highcost, Kaduna.
He lamented that Kaduna State witnessed a lot of setbacks as a result of ethnic and religious bigots who divided the state along ethno-religious lines because of their selfish interests.
Governor Sani recalled that he had promised to run an inclusive administration that is anchored on justice and fairness, by carrying everyone along.
“I made it clear to you when I came into power, that I am Governor for everyone that lives in Kaduna, be you a Muslim or Christian or from any background, I remain your Governor,’’ he added.
The governor pointed out that the challenge before every resident is to help in repositioning Kaduna State to bring back its lost glory, adding that Muslims and Christians must live together.
Governor Sani further expressed dismay with the present situation, where Kaduna town is divided, with Muslims living in one section while Christians live in the other.
He noted that both President Bola Tinubu and himself were working very hard to extend economic prosperity to everyone, arguing that ‘’we must work together because poverty has no tribe, it has no religion.’’
The governor expressed happiness that both Jama’atuI Nasril Islam(JNI) and CAN have been working together as one family to maintain peace in Kaduna State, which he described as an important achievement.
