The President of the Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association (KACRAN) Kalil Bello has called on its members not to use religious extremism to torment trouble in the land.
He said in a news conference in maiduguri that his members were pure businessmen who need the peace in the land for consistent commercial activities adding that they were not bothered about religious extremism.
The (KACRAN) President urged its members nationwide to refrain from engaging in demonstrations by fostering peace and unity within the country which is the panacea for development.
His words: “In light of recent disturbing events, KACRAN, as an organization committed to harmony and progress, strongly condemns any acts of vandalism and lawlessness. Such behavior poses a threat to the nation’s fragile security and contradicts our values as a civilized society.
“KACRAN acknowledges the challenging times Nigeria faces, particularly with regards to insecurity. It is during such critical times that the solidarity of all Nigerians, irrespective of ethnic or religious backgrounds, is paramount.
” We must unite to prevent any actions that could further destabilize our nation.” he stressed.
The President noted that with a focus on enhancing the nation’s security system and maintaining peace, KACRAN calls upon its members to avoid unnecessary demonstrations.
“While peaceful protests are a constitutional right, there exists the risk of such events being co-opted by malicious individuals seeking to cause disorder and damage.
” Furthermore, KACRAN wishes to express its profound appreciation for the North East Development Commission (NEDC) and its extensive efforts to implement development projects and support internally displaced persons in the region.
” This commendation stems from positive feedback from our members and reflects the commission’s dedication to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s vision of rebuilding and restoring hope in the affected areas.
” We also acknowledge the exceptional leadership of His Excellency, Borno State Governor Professor Babagana Umara Zulum. Governor Zulum’s initiative of establishing a committee to foster peace between cattle rearers and farmers in the state is laudable.
” The committee’s mandate to address the root causes of conflicts and to promote longstanding harmony in Borno State is a testament to his exemplary governance.
” KACRAN calls on other state governors to emulate Governor Zulum’s proactive approach. His transformative projects in Borno State serve as a model for leadership not only in Nigeria but globally.
” In conclusion, KACRAN reaffirms its unwavering commitment to assist the federal, state, and local governments in seeking lasting solutions to Nigeria’s security challenges. We call upon our members to extend their full support and cooperation to achieve our collective goals of peace, unity, and development.” he assured.
