Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar has harped on unity in
diversity as the bedrock of progress in society.
In a post via his official X handle to celebrate ‘Hausa Day’
on Tuesday, Atiku said the Hausa people, through their language, traditions,
and enterprise, have left an indelible mark on West Africa and beyond.
The 2023 presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, said the celebration is more than a cultural festival.
He said it is a call to safeguard their linguistic
treasures, honour the resilience of their forebears, and inspire future
generations to embrace unity in diversity as the bedrock of progress.
“Today, as we mark Hausa Day at the historic Emir of Daura’s
Palace, we pay tribute to one of Africa’s most influential cultures.
“From commerce to scholarships, governance to the arts,
Hausa-speaking communities across 25 countries continue to drive economic
growth, foster cultural diplomacy, and preserve a heritage that has stood the
test of centuries.
“May this Hausa Day renew our collective commitment to
building a Nigeria, and indeed an Africa, where heritage and modernity thrive
side by side,” he prayed.
