El-Rufai preaches peace among Nigerians because of Eid-El-Fitr:

Kaduna State Governor, Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, has enjoined Nigerians to uphold national unity and resist the agents of division for peace, unity and development of the country.

Malam Nasir El-Rufai, who spoke on Sunday shortly after Eid prayers in Kauru town, headquarters of Kauru local government area, said that Nigerians should not allow agents of doom to realize their sinister agenda.

Governor El-Rufai’s spokesman, Mr Samuel Aruwan in a statement said, “We should use this celebration to reflect and pray hard for peace and unity of Nigeria. As citizens, we should stand together against those preaching division and violence.

“Our diversity is a source of strength, and our common humanity is a threat to those who earn their living by manipulating differences.

“Let us be uncompromising about maintaining peace and promoting harmony.”

Malam El-Rufai said the state government team was determined to remedy the poor development indices inKauru. The governor lamented that 92% of Kauru LGA has no access to electricity.

“We came here as a government to declare a state of development emergency in Kauru local government area. Kauru is behind in electrification, hospitals, roads, water and other basic social amenities.

“Within the next two years, we will do all that we can to ensure that we achieve significant progress in these areas within Kauru local government,” the statement explained.

The statement noted that the Chief of Kauru, Alhaji Ja’afaru Abubakar while welcoming governor El-Rufai, assured him of their absolute commitment to peace and progress in the local government.
