 In Kaduna states, the governor-elect Uba Sani says democracy will cease to make meaning to Nigerians if political office holders fail to rise up to their responsibilities. In a message marking the Edofitri celebration on Friday, Sani said democracy can only be sustained and deepened when the masses are happy. The governor-elect added that political leaders must prioritize the welfare and security of the citizens and implement policies and programs that will raise the quality of livelihood. On his part, former emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamedo thanked Allah for the successful completion of the Ramadan fast and the Edofitri celebration. For those that have prayed and fasted for 29 days, we all know the essence of the fasting and the prayers we all had is to pray for the unity. We thank Allah SWT for enabling us to witness another Eid and we pray to Allah that he give our country peace and prosperity. We call on Nigerians to maintain the peace. We are seeing what is happening in countries like Sudan, in other parts of the world. Whatever our issues, we are better off resolving them peacefully. We pray to God to return prosperity and peace and unity to this country and pro. Thank you.
