“The projects are all over the place for all to see and we believe his giant strides across all sectors of the economy is the reason he has no one intent on challenging him to the ticket within the PDP.

“You will recall that the governor while submitting his nomination forms promised to compliment the effort of government in tackling the security challenges in Taraba state. He has appointed some traditional leaders and charged them to report suspected criminals to constituted authorities.

“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.”

For a state that prides itself as “Nature’s gift to the nation,” Governor Ishaku added that the tourism potentials in the state as well as it’s fertile arable lands would be put into good use to boost the state’s Internally Generated Revenue (IGR).
