Kano State Governor Abba Kabir Yusuf has urged the Fulani community in the state to continue fostering peaceful coexistence with other groups.
The governor made this call during the National Pulako Day celebration, organized by the Fulbe Development and Cultural Organisation, Kano State chapter, in recognition of the United Nations Day of Indigenous Peoples.
Represented by the Commissioner for Special Duties, Usman Aliyu, Governor Yusuf underscored the importance of Fulani culture and heritage in promoting peace and unity in the state.
He stressed the need to strengthen relationships between the Fulani and Hausa communities, urging everyone to prioritize peace and mutual respect.
“The Fulani are known for their peaceful nature. We must avoid anything that could disrupt the harmony in our society. Let us join hands with other ethnic groups to build a brighter future for our state and country,” he said.
Also speaking at the event, Professor Umaru Pate, Vice Chancellor of Federal University Kashere, Gombe State, highlighted the importance of unity and fairness in addressing the nation’s challenges, which should not be blamed on any one ethnic group.
He further emphasized the Fulani’s unique wealth, largely centered around cattle, and called for proper grazing lands to support their livelihoods.
