He expressed gratitude to the people of the area for the warm reception and their sustained support and prayers over the years, describing unity as vital to Kaduna State’s progress.

“By focusing on our shared values and common interests, we can work together to build a more peaceful and prosperous Kaduna State,” he said.

He also acknowledged the Paramount Chief of Zangon Kataf Chiefdom, Sir Dominic Yahaya Gambo, for his prayers for lasting peace and for recognising outstanding sons and daughters of the chiefdom.


Musa urged citizens to continue to prioritise unity, reconciliation and service to the state and the nation.


The event, held on December 27, 2025, was attended by traditional rulers, community leaders and other stakeholders.
