Speaking when he took over the affairs of the union in Kaduna on Tuesday, the acting National President explained that at this period when the country was going through so many challenges, the people of Southern Kaduna and Nigerians should embrace one another for survival, believing that it is only in unity that any battle could be won.

The union would continue working towards the sustenance of understanding and peaceful coexistence among the various groups in the area despite the incessant attacks going on in many parts of the area, which needed collective efforts of the people to resist all attempt to continue killing and destroying valuables.

According to the acting National President, “Our togetherness is the weapon we need at this critical moment in our history to stand against enemies of progress and ensure we unite ourselves irrespective of any difference”.
