The governor of Taraba state Darius
Ishaku has expressed deep concern over the recent sensational reports
particularly on security matters in the state by some media houses.
The governor who spoke through his
senior special assistant on media and publicity Mr. Sylvanus Giwa lamented that
recent report by some media houses was capable of discouraging the return of
the Internal Displaced Persons, IDPs who were affected by last year’s communal
crisis.
Giwa stated this while speaking with
journalist in his office at Government House in Jalingo the Taraba state
capital.
The governor frowned at the unverifiable
report by a journalist in the state that the IDPs who were returning to their
various homes in the state were not guaranteed security .
“The reporter said there were no
security measures put in place to guarantee the return of the IDPs. But all
eyes here in the state are watching and are in know to what extent the governor
is providing security not just for the IDPs, but to all citizens in the state”
Giwa further stated that since his
assumption, the governor has released all the arsenals inrelation to security
so as to ensure that all tribes and ethnics in the state coexisted in peace and
as well see to rehabilitation of IDPs into their various homes.
“Governor Ishaku has been engaging the
security agencies in fighting crime and communal clashes, also spending so much
time to dialogue with stakeholders on security matters, he vow that whoever
breaches peace has no place to stay in Taraba and that has been his stand”
Giwa said the governor has promised to
respect and partner with responsible journalist to develop the state. He avowed
that the governor would not hesitate to take legal action against any report
that is capable of coursing disunity among the people in Taraba state.
