Group Hails Senator Abdul Aziz Yari for Strengthening Peace, Religious Harmony in Northern Nigeria

The International Peace Advocacy Forum (IPAF) has commended Senator Abdul Aziz Yari for what it described as his exceptional and consistent contributions toward promoting peace, unity, and religious tolerance across Northern Nigeria.

In a statement signed by its Chairman, Dr. Emmanuel Haruna, the forum praised the former Zamfara State Governor for demonstrating exemplary leadership through deliberate and sustained engagements with both Christian and Muslim communities aimed at building trust and fostering harmony.

According to the group, Senator Yari’s continued outreach to churches, victims of banditry, and survivors of insurgency attacks reflects his deep compassion and unwavering commitment to the welfare of all Nigerians regardless of religious or ethnic background.

“As a former governor and now a serving senator, Senator Yari has shown courage and empathy in defending vulnerable communities. His efforts to protect Christian populations during periods of heightened insecurity remain commendable and worthy of national recognition,” the statement read.

IPAF noted that Yari’s interventions over the years have helped calm tensions in several affected communities, encouraging dialogue, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence at a time when the region faces complex security challenges.

The forum urged political, religious, and community leaders across the country to emulate Senator Yari’s inclusive leadership style, which it described as essential for strengthening national unity.

It further reaffirmed its commitment to collaborating with stakeholders to advance peace-building initiatives and enhance social harmony across Nigeria.

Understaffed, underfunded, and overwhelmed, this vital arm of law enforcement is struggling to prosecute crimes, defend civil suits, or even appear in court. The consequences are grave: lost cases, emboldened criminals, and a justice system that increasingly serves the powerful while frustrating victims and ordinary citizens. This is not just a capacity problem; it threatens public safety, ...
