By: Femi Mustapha
A group under the auspices of the Joint Action Committee (JACOM) has applauded the Kaduna State Government over the recent peaceful conclusion of Local Government elections in the State
This was asserted by the National Coordinator of JACOM, Engr. Idris Musa during a press conference in Kaduna, on 22nd October,2024.
The coordinator noted that how the election was peacefully conducted is a source of strength for the people of Kaduna State and the Democratic process.
“The people of Kaduna State conducted themselves peacefully and orderly and this is proof that it is possible to hold a democratic Election without silence or bloodshed.”
He also observed that Kaduna State has remained peaceful since the advent of the current Administration and urged the leadership of the State government under Sen. Uba Sani to continue on the path of peace.
“We urge the Administration to continue in this direction, and we call on the people to continue to maintain peace and development as they are intertwined and must be observed at all times”
According to him, this is apparent as the Local Government, being the third tier of Government, is the closest to the people. Therefore, elections into the council cannot be underestimated.
“We call on elected Members to remember and be aware that they have a very important assignment to deliver to the people of Kaduna State.
“On this democratic journey, there are high expectations of performance from the elected Members of the People. We, therefore, hope that they will not fail in this task.
The Group called on the State government to support the Local Government Council to function effectively
The Group commended security agencies for ensuring the smooth conduct of the elections by standing alert throughout the Election process.
“We equally commend KADSIECOM and urge them to ensure early deployment of materials and logistics to ensure a smooth process.
“Finally, we want to thank the good people of Kaduna State for laying an excellent example for other States in Nigeria to emulate.”
