Manzo condemns bombings in Taraba, says we want secured state

A frontline Governorship aspirant in Taraba State, Senator Anthony Manzo, has condemned the renewed violent attacks and induced explosions in parts of the state that have claimed scores of lives and properties.

Bomb explosions were recorded in Ardo Kola Local Government and Nukai areas in Jalingo, Taraba State last Tuesday and Friday respectively.

Manzo who is aspiring to become the Governor of Taraba on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has therefore tasked security operatives to double their efforts in order to forestall a reoccurrence.

He also enjoined the citizens to cooperate with security operatives by providing credible information to enable them to fish out undesirable elements in their midst, pointing out that “if citizens cooperate with the security agents, we can fish out the bad eggs living amongst us.”

“These criminals live amongst us. The earlier we realize that we are all endangered if we continue to harbour them in our midst and resolve to flush them out, the better and safer for all of us,” he added.

The Governorship hopeful however promised that if given the mandate to lead the state in 2023, he would embark on aggressive job creation that will take the unemployed youths out of the streets.

His economic blue print, he added, includes, but not limited to, mechanized farming (Agriculture) and industrialization.

According to Manzo, “With our untapped mineral resources and massive arable lands, we can achieve food sufficiency through Agriculture and we can make Taraba state the economic hub of North East and five top economically viable states in Nigeria.”

All these efforts, he said, are targeted towards economic prosperity for all and possibly eliminate crimes and all kinds of vices. He promised a peaceful and United Taraba State that will be a pride for all citizens.
