Governor Simon Lalong has praised the resolve of citizens to resist being lured into violence.
Governor Lalong while reacting to last Sunday’s unfortunate incident
around Dutse Uku said the ability of residents to work with security
agencies to prevent it from spilling to other areas is a testimony of
the deepening peace building effort of the government and people of the
state.
He said such behaviour has given the state and its people a positive image and should be sustained.
Governor Lalong in a message through state Commissioner of Information
and Communication implored citizens to resist the temptation of being
drawn back into the ugly past by being vigilant and report any
suspicious behaviour or persons to relevant authorities.
He commended security agencies for bringing the situation under control within the given area where the incident happened.
Governor Lalong said purveyors of bad news who had gone to town about
another crisis in the state have been put to shame as citizens stood
together to defeat the ghost of war mongers.
He assures of better days ahead as his administration works together
with citizens and security agencies to prevent criminal activities in
the state.
