When Taraba State governor, Architect Darius Ishaku, was battling to secure his seat, the people of Taraba were with him.
And truly, he did not disappoint us. Shortly after he assumed office, we began to experience unprecedented power supply in the state capital. The rusted water pipes in Jalingo, which had been dry for years started flowing with water.
Sir, in your desire to rescue Taraba State from the shackles of poverty and underdevelopment, you called on the people of the state to give you peace so that you can give them development. You set up a committee to restore peace in the affected areas. You warned traditional rulers against involvement in partisan politics.
To prove that you were not issuing empty threats, you suspended some district heads from office.
I commend you for all these, but I also urge you to look into the area of salary payment seriously so that civil servants can be happy. Civil servants are employed to run the machinery of government and without them things will not work well.
