Standup9ja: I’m ready to sacrifice myself to protect Igbos –
Emir of Katsina
The Emir of Katsina, Abdulmumini Kabir, has said that
Nigeria will continue to remain one in spite of its multi-ethnic diversity.
He
made the assertion yesterday at his palace in Katsina when he addressed leaders
of the Igbo community and other Nigerians residing in Katsina State.
“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 a 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 to go anywhere,” the Emir
said, as he urged them to continue to pray for peace and unity in the country,
to ensure sustainable development. (NAN)
