Sani Donates 39 Vehicles to JNI, CAN, Others

John Shiklam reports that Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State has gifted 39 vehicles to Muslim and Christian organizations to promote peacebuilding initiatives. At the distribution event, the governor stated that the vehicles would help religious groups advocate for peaceful coexistence and ensure credible elections in Kaduna State and nationwide.

Sani, accompanied by Interfaith Director General Malam Tahir Umar Tahir, expressed worry that some politicians anticipating defeat may attempt to incite unrest before, during, and after the upcoming elections. He recalled that the Fityanul Islam First Aid Group had previously requested six buses for peacebuilding efforts during a national seminar and award ceremony in August.

The governor announced that two buses would be allocated to the national body and its Kaduna State chapter. Additionally, First Aid groups from other Islamic sects and the Boys Brigade, a Christian organization, were also recipients of the Hummer buses. Sani assured Christian denominations and Islamic groups not included in this donation that they would be considered in future vehicle distributions.
