Kaduna State Governor-elect, Senator Uba Sani has said that his administration will give priority to the welfare and security of citizens.
In a message marking the Eid-El-Fitr celebrations, he noted that it is by making people happy and secured that democracy could be sustained and deepened.
Sani said leaders must prioritise the welfare and security of the citizens and implement policies and programmes that will raise the quality of life.
He said with the spiritual and physical renewal during the Ramadan fasting, Nigerians were adequately equipped to face new challenges and avail themselves of fresh opportunities for personal and collective advancement.
He thanked the Almighty Allah for the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and the Eid-El-Fitr celebrations.
“As we look to the future with hope, we pray for Allah’s guidance. May He give us the courage to face whatever may come our way. May He bring our people together to work for the common good.
“May forgiveness, love, patience, goodness, kindness, compassion and mercy be our watchwords,” he prayed.
“If we fail to rise up to our responsibilities, democracy will cease to make meaning to our people.
“It is by making our people happy and secure that we can sustain and deepen this democracy,” he said.
Sani said he will assemble a formidable team of technocrats and politicians that will hit the ground running upon his swearing in on May 29.
“We are keen to build on the good foundation laid by my leader and mentor, Governor Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai. We shall further raise the bar of governance and make Kaduna State the model of development and peaceful coexistence in Nigeria,” he said.
