The Kulen Allah Cattle Rearers Association of Nigeria (KACRAN) has marked its seventh anniversary with a strong call for national unity, urging Nigerians to embrace mutual respect and harmony regardless of ethnic or religious differences.
The anniversary celebration, held in Damaturu, commemorated the association’s founding on February 17, 2017, and highlighted its evolution over seven years of advocacy and community engagement.
In his speech, the KACRAN National President, Hon. Khalil Mohammad Bello, said the gathering was not merely a celebration, but also an opportunity to reflect on the association’s journey and achievements.
“We have existed for seven years, which is worthy of celebration. During our evolution, we have achieved many successes. That is why we are here to review our journey and showcase our accomplishments,” Bello stated.
According to him, KACRAN stands out for its non-discriminatory stance, welcoming every Nigerian irrespective of faith, ethnicity, or origin.
“We view all Nigerians as equals. Seeing us here means seeing Kanuri, Fulani, Hausa, Babur, Kare-Kare, and even Yoruba. Kulen Allah is for everyone who desires to be part of it,” he said.
The president noted that the association’s greatest concern is the prevalence of fear and insecurity, stressing that its ultimate desire is to see a nation characterised by peace, cohesion, and harmonious coexistence among citizens.
Beyond its ideological message, KACRAN also showcased tangible achievements, including various projects executed in partnership with state and federal governments, as well as development partners.
According to Bello, these interventions have contributed to the welfare of citizens and the overall development of the country.
