“We must say no to violence and never again shall we take arms against one another. We must not because of our personal ambitions bring violence in the state”.
“God gives power to whom he wishes and only one person can be a Governor of Taraba at a time.
“Political parties are mere platforms for the purposes of contesting elections and now that elections are over, I want to appeal to all politicians to support the governor for the good of Taraba,” he appealed.
