Ishaku to Tarabans: Share love, be security conscious

The Governor of Taraba State, Darius Dickson Ishaku, yesterday wished Tarabans “a hitch-free, peaceful and harmonious Christmas celebration. He told them to “share love that cuts across ethnic and religious divides.”

The governor also advised the people to be “security conscious and to report suspicious moves by unknown persons.”

“Today (December 25) is a day specially reverred and acclaimed by Christians all over the world. It is a date set aside for the commemoration of the  birth of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, acknowledged by the Holy Bible as the Prince of Peace.

Considering that the fundamental significance of Christmas is the demonstration of God’s Love and gift of  peace to mankind.

“I wish to call on all citizens of Taraba State to use this festive period to reflect on the need to apply our faith in the promotion of love for one another and work towards peaceful co-existence amongst the citizenry, no matter the beliefs we profess.

“It is only through this that we can actualise the developmental strides that we yearn for. On my part, I wish to assure you that I stand by my well known declaration of “Give me Peace, I will Give you Development,” the governor said.

He used the period of joyful commemoration to appeal to communities that were engulfed in crises in the recent past, to “see Christmas as a period of sober reflection, reconciliation, and moral restitution.”

“For the other communities across the state, I wish to urge you all to be security conscious. If you see anything or hear anything that has security concerns, you should endeavor to share your observations and concerns with your community leaders and appropriate authorities.”
