Kaduna State Governor, Uba Sani, has said some politicians who foresee defeat, are planning to disrupt public peace before, during or after the coming 2027 general elections.

Though, the governor who stated this during his donation of 39 vehicles to Jama’atu Nasril Islam(JNI), Christian Association of Nigeria(CAN) and the different sects within Islam as well as the various Christian denominations did not mention the names of those politicians plotting unrest in Kaduna.

Governor Sani said the donated vehicles will facilitate their advocacy for peaceful coexistence, including the conduct of a free and fair 2027 elections.

The Governor who was represented by the Director General of Interfaith, Malam Tahir Umar Tahir, recalled that the First Aid Group of Fityanul Islam had earlier requested for six buses to enhance its activities of peace building, during its national seminar and award ceremony in August.

Malam Tahir said that the Governor promised to provide four buses to the group, suggesting that two of them will be given to the national body and Kaduna State chapter each.

“The Governor also promised that the largesse will be extended to the First Aid Groups of other Islamic sects and the Boys Brigade of the Christian faith.

“He also said that the Kaduna State chapters of JNI and CAN should be added among the list. He directed that Hummer buses should be given to each of them. His Excellency also directed that other Islamic sects and blocks within CAN should be given vehicles to aid their religious activities,” Tahir recalled.

The Kaduna State Director General of Interfaith promised that other Christian denominations and Islamic sects that have not benefited from this round of donations, will be considered subsequently.

Malam Tahir said that Governor Uba Sani has been carrying the various sects and different blocks of the two dominant religions in Kaduna State along, since he assumed office over three years ago.

According to him, the Governor liaises with religious leaders in the distribution of dividends of democracy amongst the adherents of both faiths, citing the distribution of free fertilizer and political appointments.

Malam Tahir reminded that Prophet Muhammad(SAW) enjoined Muslims to reciprocate kind gestures, reminding that they should pray for the benefactor if they cannot return the favors done unto them.

“in Christianity, believers are commanded to pray for their leaders. We are asking for your prayers. We are pleading to you to pray for the Governor’s re-election because he will surpass the good things that he is doing in his second term,” he pledged.

Representatives of Kaduna State chapters of JNI and CAN thanked the Governor for the donations and promised to pray for the continued peace and development across the state.
