From :Femi Oyelola in Kaduna
Former Governor of Sokoto State and Chairman, Board of Trustees of Arewa Cohesion for Peace, Unity and Development Initiative, Alhaji Attahiru Dalhatu Bafarawa, has stressed the need for unity, oneness and peace in the North for the development of the region.
He started this during the official unveiling of the movement in Arewa House in Kaduna yesterday.
He said the unveiling is a bold step towards healing divisions, fostering understanding, and nurturing sustainable development in our beloved region of the North.
Bafarawa said that Arewa is more than a geographical expression, but a symbol of identity, history and a collective destiny, pointing out that it was in this spirit that initiative came together, not as tribal groups, political or religious factions, but as brothers and sisters bound by the shared vision of a peaceful, united and prosperous future.
Bafarawa who insisted that the group was not a political movement and do not intend to transform into a political party, nor does it align with any political party, rather the group’s mission transcends partisan politics.
According to him, the movement is ready to work with anyone, regardless of political affiliation, who shares the group’s commitment to transforming the region and Nigeria for the better.
“We are not out to fight anybody, rather to build bridges and foster constructive engagement. We are ready to collaborate with any organization that has similar objectives as us.”
