Gov. Darius Ishaku of Taraba has enjoined Christian faithful to work toward sustaining the relative peace in the state.
This is contained in his Easter message by Mr Bala Dan-Abu, Special Adviser on media and Publicity in Jalingo on Sunday.
Ishaku expressed happiness that peace had gradually returned to the troubled communities in the state, saying the best gift of the season would be to sustain the harmonious relationship.
The governor enjoined Christians to constantly remind themselves of the virtues of peace and forgiveness which Jesus Christ amply demonstrated throughout his trial and crucifixion, and to allow these virtues to reflect in their conduct and relationship with humanity generally.
This will help in sustaining the peace that has gradually returned to the troubled communities in the state for the good of all, he said.
While calling for unity and vigilance against security challenges, Ishaku said government was working hard with security agencies to permanently end kidnapping and killings of innocent people by criminals in the state.
The governor also urged residents to take the COVID-19 vaccination as well as continue to observe all protocols against the spread of the pandemic. (NAN)
