Bobai, “During a recent address, passionately articulated the resolve of the people of Kaduna to resist any conspiratorial efforts from conflict entrepreneurs and propagandists seeking to destabilize the achievements made under Governor Sani’s leadership”.

The SSA emphasized that these “blackmailers” should reconsider their actions, “As the citizens of Kaduna are largely satisfied with the progressive direction spearheaded by their hardworking governor”.

“These regions are now enjoying a more peaceful atmosphere, which is crucial for the state’s socio-economic development.

“The governor’s commitment to restoring security has been further highlighted by recent reports of kidnappers and bandits allegedly being funded by political adversaries”, it stated.
