….Commend Governor Uba Sani’s Peace Model for Sustaining Harmony Across Kaduna.
Leaders from Koro district and Kagarko Local Government Area have dismissed as false and politically motivated, the social media reports exaggerating a recent misunderstanding between farmers and herders in the area.
In separate remarks, community leaders, traditional rulers, and political representatives described the incident as an isolated disagreement that was quickly brought under control through dialogue and mediation, in line with Governor Uba Sani’s grassroots peace and inclusivity model.
The Deputy Speaker of the Kaduna State House of Assembly, Barr. Magaji H. Danjuma, who hails from the area, said it was unfortunate that some individuals were attempting to politicize a minor incident to score cheap points.
“Let it be clear that what happened in Koro was not a communal crisis. It was a misunderstanding between two individuals, which was immediately resolved through community structures established under the Governor’s peace framework. Those peddling falsehoods online are only doing so for political mischief,” he stated.
Similarly, the Chairman of Kagarko Local Government Council, Hon. Muhuyideen A. Umar said peace and cooperation have remained strong among farmers, herders, and residents of the area. He credited this stability to the Governor’s sustained investment in peacebuilding, dialogue, and community security committees.
“Our people are living peacefully. The quick intervention of traditional institutions, security agencies, and community leaders ensured the issue did not escalate. Those trying to create a different impression do not mean well for our community or the State,” he said.
Traditional leaders from Koro and Danta also reaffirmed their loyalty to the State’s ongoing peace efforts, praising Governor Uba Sani’s Kaduna Peace Model for institutionalizing community participation, early warning systems, and mediation councils that have drastically reduced communal violence.
They emphasized that Koro and Kagarko have continued to serve as examples of peaceful coexistence where farmers, herders, women, and youth collaborate under one shared vision of unity and progress.
“We will not allow outsiders or political detractors to use misinformation to divide us. Our people are wiser, and the peace we enjoy today is a result of deliberate leadership from the State Government and our local structures,” the Ere Koro stated.
Community leaders, therefore, urged the public to disregard the misleading social media narratives and continue to support the ongoing government–community partnership that has made Kagarko one of the most stable local governments in Southern Kaduna.
