As Christians worldwide celebrate Christmas to mark the birth of Jesus Christ, Kaduna State Governor Senator Uba Sani has called on the residents to be instruments of peace, spreading love, kindness, and compassion to those around them.
He stated this in his Christmas messages to the people of the State.
According to him, in a world that often values power, wealth, and status, people must remember that true peace comes not from external sources but from within, saying it comes from a heart that is filled with love, forgiveness, and mercy.
Governor Sani stressed that in a world that often seems torn apart by conflict, division, and strife, Christmas stands as a beacon of hope, reminding the citizens that peace is possible.
According to him, the State has faced numerous challenges and, as a people and government it has been surmounted.
“The indomitable spirit of the Kaduna people remains alive. We have made remarkable progress in the area of security which seemed intractable for a long time.
“ Peace has returned to conflict-impacted areas like Birnin Gwari and Giwa Local Governments through our peace initiatives facilitated by the Peace Dialogue Group.
“The Office of the National Security Adviser and security forces played critical roles in the success of the peace initiatives. The Kaduna Peace Model is now being understudied by other states, to replicate it.”
