Zulum, in a statement by his spokesman, Isa Gusau, also said he is very proud of Christians and Muslims in the state, for maintaining peaceful coexistence in all the 27 Local Government Areas of the state, despite being faced with all manners of inciting tactics, deployed by those who wished to knock heads together.
He thanked and commended the traditional rulers, elders and religious leaders of both faiths, for being role models for the younger ones.
Zulum urged the residents to continue to do whatever is possible to nurture and preserve the precious harmony in the state.
