The Emir
of Katsina, Alhaji Abdulmumini Kabir, has said that Nigeria will continue to
remain one in spite of its multi-ethnic diversity and recent calls for breakup.
Speaking
at his palace in Katsina on Friday while addressing leaders of Igbo community
and other Nigerians residing in Katsina State, he said he would give his blood
to ensure peace.
“I am
responding to the quit notice given to some Nigerians residing in the North by some
group of people who are enemies of peace.
“Here in
Katsina, I am ready to sacrifice my last drop of blood to ensure peace and
protect all Nigerians residing in the state,’’ he said.
The emir
urged the different communities residing in the state not to panic as the
Emirate Council and state government would take all necessary measures to
ensure peaceful coexistence.
‘’You are
Nigerians, because some of you were born here and you don’t have better place
than Katsina.
‘’So,
continue to conduct your lawful business activities, we are behind you.
‘’You are
my sons and daughters like any other person, Katsina is your home, so, feel
free do not go anywhere,’’ Kabir said.
The emir
also urged them to continue to pray for peace and unity in the country, to
ensure sustainable development.
