Uba Sani has declared that Kaduna State will not relapse into an era of violence, issuing a strong warning against what he described as the politicisation of insecurity.
Speaking on Monday during a state security council meeting at the Sir Kashim Ibrahim House, the governor said his administration remains firmly committed to safeguarding lives and property, stressing that any attempt to destabilise the state will be decisively addressed.
“Our government will not allow Kaduna to return to a past defined by violence,” Sani said. “Those who seek to exploit insecurity for political or other selfish interests must desist or face the full weight of the law.”
The governor underscored that the responsibility to maintain peace and security is enshrined in the Nigerian constitution, placing a direct obligation on his office to act swiftly against threats to public safety.
Sani’s remarks come amid ongoing efforts by state authorities to consolidate security gains and foster stability across communities that have previously experienced unrest. He called on residents, community leaders and stakeholders to support security agencies with credible information and avoid actions that could inflame tensions.
Reaffirming his administration’s zero-tolerance stance, the governor said security agencies have been directed to remain vigilant and proactive in addressing emerging threats.
“Our priority is clear — the protection of every citizen,” he added. “We will not compromise on peace.”
