On behalf of
the Patrons, Executive Committee and entire members of the Federated Kurama
Youth Association-Kaduna branch; we wish to extend our profound felicitation to
the Executive Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir Ahmed El-rufa’i, over his
well-deserved victory at the April polls and his subsequent swearing-in. It is
our firm belief that the electorates in Kaduna state made the right choice in
voting into power a governor with the requisite experience, repository of
knowledge and the knack for excellence to lead the state back to the path of
socio-economic development and greatness.
We want to
also use this medium to congratulate all our elected legislators both at the
state and federal level from Lere local government for their victory at the
polls; and urge them to see their victory as a call to selfless service and
competent representation of all within their constituencies regardless of
political affiliation, religion and ethnicity.
We further
wish to call on the governor to make the youth the priority of his
administration and the center of his policy formulation and implementation;
this is because the youth constitute the largest demography of the population
in the state, more so, they are the engine room that drives growth and
development in any society. Youth should be seen to occupy key positions in his
government; after all, they gave him the chunk of the votes that made him
governor. He should focus on investing hugely in employment generating sectors
such as agriculture and the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises. These sectors
have the potential to generate massive employment, create wealth, reduce
poverty, mobilize increased revenue and enhance economic growth in the state.
We also urge
the governor to display fairness, equity and justice in all his dealings in
re-integrating the state back to it status of peace, unity and development. It
is a known fact that Kaduna state has been polarized over the years due to
incessant political and ethno-religious crisis that have left behind sorrow,
bitterness, mutual suspicion, mistrust and deep-rooted desire for retribution.
No matter the noble intentions of the governor, without peace and unity it
would only be a mirage.
Finally, we
wish to pledge our unalloyed loyalty to the new administration in making Kaduna
state great again.
