The National President of the Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN), Hon. Khalil Muhammed Bello, together with some zonal and state officials of the association, has embarked on a house-to-house sensitization tour between farmers and pastoralists across Yobe State.
In continuation of the tour, the National President and his entourage stormed at Machina Emir’s palace to notify the royal father of the importance of the peace mission and seek emir support for the success of the exercise within the emirate.
Hon. Khalil Muhammed Bello informs the emir that the association is a body purposely registered and formed to eradicate any form of misunderstanding and wanton conflict between farmers and pastoralists in Nigeria.
“It is in line with this that the association began the onerous task mission of sensitizing farmers and pastoralists in Yobe State on the importance of living in peace.” Bello said.
He commends His Royal Highness, the Emir of Machina, for his relentless efforts towards ensuring peace and harmony between the diverse ethnic groups of the emirate.
In his response, the Emir of Machina, Alhaji Dr. Bashir Al-Bashir Bukar Machinama, commends the National President of Kulen Allah for initiating the house-to-house sensitization of Yobe state farmers and pastoralists on the importance of peace.
“Peace is paramount in every human settlement, hence the need for all hands to be on deck towards propagating the peace” Bashir Machina said.
He assured that the emirate would continue to do its best to strengthen peace within his domain.
The emir urges the leadership of Kulen Allah to fully sensitize both farmers and pastoralists to the need to live in peace with one another, because nothing would be achieved without peace anywhere in the world.
The National President strongly commended Governor Mai Mala Buni CON, Chiroman Gujba, for encouraging and supporting the exercise under reference and called on federal and all northern governors to emulate Governor Buni towards promoting peace and unity between their state pastoralists and farmers.
Hon. Khalil Muhammed Bello presented a later appointment as State Patron to the Emir of Machina, Alhaji Bashir Al-Bashir Bukar Machinama.
