The Governor of Kaduna State, Uba Sani, has warned politicians not to ignore religious leaders after using them during elections.
He argued that religious leaders play pivotal roles in attaining peace in Kaduna State and the country in general.
The Governor stated this at an interactive session with religious and traditional rulers in Kaduna on Monday, saying that without them, ‘’we can not be standing here celebrating peace in Kaduna State.’’
He berated politicians for choosing to forget religious leaders after getting elected.
According to him, ‘’We are elected, we only remember them when it is a month or two to elections. We go to them using sentiments, using religion so that they can support us.’
‘’I always say, if we allow our religious leaders to be insulted, to be condemned unnecessarily, we will not have a country, much less a state. Whenever things are bad, we go to them for prayers.’’
According to the governor, religious leaders are important stakeholders in our country, so we believe that we need you now to guide us and not to rush to you only during elections.”
He recalled that religious leaders had given him invaluable advice on how to achieve peace, unity, and tranquillity in Kaduna State in an earlier meeting when he assumed office.
‘’That is why I am here to explain to you what we have done in the last two years, in the area of security, education, healthcare and social security, since we came into office,’’ he added.
According to the Governor, the Kaduna Peace Model, which emphasises a non-kinetic approach, is being emulated by most states in the country, adding that ‘’we didn’t achieve that alone as a government.’’
Sani decried the antics of some politicians who conspire with some unscrupulous elements to smear the reputations of some religious leaders on social media.
