PRESIDENT John Magufuli yesterday appealed to people in both Zanzibar and Tanzania Mainland to give peace, love and stability a chance to pave the way for faster development.
In the same vein he spoke tough on
violence instigators, declaring that he would ensure the long-cherished
peace and unity remain undisturbed.Dr Magufuli affirmed that elections
were over thus all people, regardless of political affiliations and
religious differences, should join hands for swift socio-economic
development.
The head of state made the call while
addressing hundreds of people at a public rally at Gombani ya Kale
Grounds, Chake-Chake, in South Pemba, where he vowed to leave no stone
unturned in safeguarding peace and the Union.
It is the first time for President
Magufuli to tour Pemba islands since last year’s general election and
the fresh polls conducted on March 20, this year. “People in Pemba, in
Zanzibar and Tanzania need peace, stability and development and nothing
else - not the unnecessary conflicts and confrontation,” he said.
Dr Magufuli said, in collaboration with
his Zanzibar counterpart, Dr Ali Mohamed Shein, he would fulfil all
promises, particularly ensuring peace, stability and security in the
country alongside building a stronger economy that will benefit all.
“We need to work together regardless of
our political affiliations. Sabotage on crops or political hate within
society and family, at the level of not greeting each other, should be
condemned,” said Dr Magufuli.
He directed security forces to hunt for
people who are trying to derail Zanzibar and Tanzania generally from
peace and political stability, including arresting those behind sabotage
of property and crops in Pemba.
People voted for us, Dr Magufuli said,
so that we serve you and we have to meet your expectations of better
life including job creation through encouraging people to invest in
industries, particularly in untapped natural resources in the sea.
“Seychelles and Namibia are developing
because of fish processing industries. Why not Zanzibar and Tanzania?
Let us focus on those areas and place hate behind us. Elections are over
until 2020,” Dr Magufuli said amid cheers.
In his welcoming remark before Dr
Magufuli’s speech, Dr Shein said they have been working closely and that
Zanzibaris should expect a better future.
“We are about to solve all the
grievances in the Union,” Dr Shein said. Both leaders thanked people for
the big turn-out at the rally, saying it shows unity among Tanzanians
and that everyone should hate division.
Earlier, after arriving at the Karume
Airport some seven kilometres southeast of Chake-Chake, the capital of
the island, Dr Magufuli, accompanied by his wife paid respect to the
late Omar Ali Juma at his grave.
Dr Juma died of a heart-attack. He served as Vice-President from 1995 to 2001 during President Benjamin Mkapa’s leadership.
