As a citizen of Nasarawa State, I will never allow myself to be part of any regional government to be controlled by a particular set of persons, who are a cabal, therefore I am advocating all Nigerians to embrace peace, and unity and resist any attempt to put the country on the flame in the guise of seeking justice” He advised.
