”We are at the emirate council to strengthen collaboration with the traditional institution ahead of the elections.

Momale expressed concerns over the pockets of protests that greeted the outcome of the just concluded Presidential and National Assembly elections

”This is the reason we are engaging critical political stakeholders ahead of the forthcoming election. We need a credible and peaceful process,“he said.

The executive vice chairman commended the emir for his roles during the recent peace accord by governorship candidates in the state.

”Your message at the peace accord was fatherly, it showed your good intentions for the state, we thank you immensely,” he said.

In his remarks, Bamalli commended Kaduna people for their peaceful conduct during the Presidential and National Assembly elections.

The emir urged the electorate in the state to obey the rules governing the electoral process.
