Atyap Chiefs Brief El-Rufai On Peace Process In Southern Kaduna - Edoman - 08-26-2020
Governor Kaduna @GovKaduna
Quote:His Highness, the Agwatyap, Sir Dominic Gambo Yahaya, is leading a delegation of community leaders from Atyap Chiefdom to brief Malam Nasir @elrufai on the peace and reconciliation process in the area
The Agwatyap, HH Dominic Yahaya, has formally presented the communique of the peace and reconciliation summit held by the Atyap, Fulani and Hausa communities of Atyap Chiefdom, on Saturday, 22 August 2020
The clashes of 5 June and 11 June 2020 within the Atyap Chiefdom of Zangon-Kataf LGA and in parts of Kauru LGA triggered the latest cycle of violent strife in parts of southern Kaduna. The 24-hour curfew imposed on all the four affected LGAs has been relaxed to night-time curfews
The Agwatyap expressed his gratitude to Malam Nasir @elrufai for encouraging him about a month ago to initiate the dialogue among the communities in his chiefdom for a peace and reconciliation process
Malam Nasir @elrufai has thanked His Highness, the Agwatyap for his leadership in bringing together the communities in Atyap chiefdom to begin the process of peace-building.
The governor commended the Atyap, Fulani and Hausa communities of Atyap Chiefdom in Zangon-Kataf LGA for the successful peace and reconciliation summit held on Saturday, 22 August 2020.
“All who seek to replace violent strife with harmony can be assured of the unstinting support of the state government for peace and concord in all our communities.” -Malam Nasir @elrufai
“This government has been clear and insistent since 2015 that the ultimate guarantee of peace is the willingness of communities to live in peace and harmony, and their resolve to settle all differences by strictly lawful means.”
This community support is as important as the investments we have made in stationing and maintaining detachments of the military and police in southern Kaduna.
Malam Nasir @elrufai assured the Agwatyap that the state government supports the quest for new layouts to encourage people from different communities to live side by side. He said the road project requested will be undertaken, and the question of options for youths addressed.
“I call on every person of goodwill to support the Atyap Chiefdom’s strong efforts to bring its communities together and stop the bloodshed. Everyone should reject the temptation to take laws into their hands, but instead submit all grievances to the lawful authorities”
