We must tackle senseless killings in Taraba – Ishaku

Taraba state governor, Darius Ishaku, has said his government is working assiduously to overcome the security challenges bedevilling the state.

The governor, who stated this on Sunday in a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Dan Bala Abu, said the confidence reposed in him by the state chapter of the party, was a debt he would repay by delivering good governance to the people.

The governor said his recent appointment of traditional rulers to ensure peaceful co-existence among the diverse ethnic nationalities in the state was part of effort to stem the security challenges in the state.

“His Excellency, Governor Darius Ishaku’s sole reason for seeking another term in office is to make life meaningful for the people. He has achieved a lot but you know, a lot of work is still left to be done.

“The killings must stop and whatever the governor can do in this regard, he won’t hesitate. He has been preaching peace, without which the development we all crave will be elusive.

“The people are very happy with him and you could see the crowd that accompanied him to the party’s headquarters the other day,” he said.
