Bauchi Speaker Tasks Sayawa On Peace, Unity To Restore Past Glories

Sulaiman Abubakar, Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly Suleiman has tasked the Sayawa community of Bogoro and Tafawa Balewa Local Governments to sustain the current tempo of peace and unity in the area and bring back good old days.

He made the statement while speaking as Guest Speaker during the 2021 Zaar Festival which took place in Tafawa Balewa on Saturday.

The Speaker explained that the manifestation of insecurity and conflicts in the communities has become one of the major problems that affected the long-cherished cordial relationship that existed between different tribes and religions.

“How long will it take us to understand the importance of peace and security and embrace measures to sustain them? How long do we continue to harm the present and future generations by actions, placing the dreams of our heroes past in a state of perpetual unrealism?” he asked rhetorically.

Hon. Abubakar Suleiman commended the people of Tafawa Balewa and environs for the peace that is existing in recent years.

The Speaker stated that “we have a very big challenge ahead of us; and that is restoring the lost glory of Tafawa Balewa, the home of first Prime Minister of Nigeria, the pride of Sayawa, the pride of Jarawa, the pride of Christians and Muslims.

“I may not be wrong if I say gone are the days when Muslims and Christians, Jarawa, Sayawa, Fulani and other tribes live together as one in Tafawa Balewa”

“Peace is priceless, we cannot achieve our ambition, yearnings and aspirations without peace. Almighty God has created us in different races, religions and tongues so that we can understand and tolerate our differences.

“If we hate and kill each other we are challenging how Almighty God created us,” he added.

In his address, the Executive Governor of Bauchi State His Excellency Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammad expressed his satisfaction with the current peaceful atmosphere and love in Zaar land devoid of rancour or any clash.
