I assured the government and the good people of Plateau State that the issue of insecurity will soon be a thing of the past by the special grace of God. come to an end. We will support the state government to better the lives of the people. We will not leave you alone.

We will support President Tinubu through approval of funds inorder to shut down, permanently, all IDP camps in the country”.
