Northern CAN applauds Gov Sani, seeks wider adoption of Kaduna peace model

Published

on

The Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, in the northern states has called for the adoption of the Kaduna peace model as a strategic approach to promoting national unity and fostering religious harmony across the country.

Chairman of Northern CAN, Rev. John Joseph Hayab, made the call on Monday during the Kaduna Inter-Religious Dialogue on Peace, Unity, and Security Committee Meeting, held to mark the two-year anniversary of Governor Uba Sani’s administration, organised by the Kaduna State Bureau of Interfaith.

Hayab, who also serves as co-chairman of the committee, commended the Kaduna State Government for implementing inclusive policies and promoting a culture of religious tolerance, describing the progress made as “a silent transformation” worthy of national attention.

“Insecurity, mutual suspicion, and religious tension once defined Kaduna’s image. But today, we are witnessing significant progress under Governor Uba Sani, who has shown deliberate commitment to healing and inclusiveness,” he said.

He noted that incidents of communal clashes and banditry in the state had drastically reduced due to the administration’s combination of kinetic and non-kinetic approaches, alongside its policy of fair engagement with all communities.

Hayab also praised the governor’s symbolic participation in Christian events, including two consecutive Christmas Carol services, saying such gestures had gone a long way in restoring trust and reinforcing the spirit of belonging among the Christian community.

“Those actions, though symbolic, carried deep meaning. They reflected respect, recognition, and an intentional approach to unity. Today, Muslim and Christian youths in the state interact freely, while interfaith dialogue among religious leaders has gained stronger footing,” he stated.

He said Christian and Muslim mothers were no longer united by grief over the loss of innocent children to senseless violence, noting that the government’s response to victims had become more empathetic and reflective of shared humanity.

While acknowledging the progress made, the CAN chairman stressed that the journey to peace and genuine reconciliation remained ongoing and urged the state government to consolidate its gains through sustained political will and fair governance.

“Peacebuilding is not an event; it is a continuous process. Kaduna has shown what is possible when leadership is guided by compassion and justice. We urge the Federal Government to understudy this model and replicate it in other parts of the country,” Hayab added.

He further called on religious leaders, traditional institutions, and civil society to remain committed to promoting peaceful coexistence and interfaith dialogue, stressing that Nigeria’s stability rests on collective effort and shared responsibility.

Published

Wife of Foluke Adeboye has revealed the drastic step she took after becoming born again, throwing away her gold jewellery into a lagoon.

Speaking candidly, the pastor’s wife shared that like many women, she once loved fashion and had even prepared expensive gold items for her young child.

However, everything changed after she joined the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), where wearing earrings was frowned upon at the time.

“The moment we were born again, it was a taboo for you to have earrings. So everything, I dropped it in the lagoon,” she said.

She recalled how a family friend questioned her decision, suggesting she could have given the jewellery to her mother to sell instead.

But She stood firm, “Whatever is not good for me is not good for my mother.”

Reflecting on her journey, she made it clear she has no regrets about her sacrifice.
“I don’t miss anything, not much, because I have already sold my life,” she added.

ADC calls on women to lead, shape Nigeria’s future

Published

on

As Nigeria observes International Women’s Day 2026, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has urged women to take active roles in politics and leadership to help build a more inclusive nation.

In a statement on Sunday, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, said Nigerian women carry a disproportionate share of social and economic responsibilities but remain underrepresented in decision-making positions.

“From mothers and teachers to doctors, nurses, and entrepreneurs, women sustain our nation every day. Yet their voices are often absent when decisions about our future are made,” the statement read.

The ADC highlighted that its National Working Committee is deliberately structured to include women, and emphasized that the party is the only one in Nigeria whose constitution reserves 40 per cent of all positions at every level for women.

“For the ADC, women are partners in nation-building, and empowering them strengthens Nigeria’s democracy. When Nigerian women rise, the nation rises with them,” Abdullahi added.

The party urged more women across the country to join its platform and contribute to shaping Nigeria’s political and democratic future.

“To the ADC, women are indispensable to the future of Nigerian democracy. A nation of over two hundred million people cannot reach its full potential when half of its population remains underrepresented in political leadership. Nigeria’s democracy will only become stronger when its institutions reflect the strength, talent, and diversity of its people,” the statement emphasized.
