The speaker of the Taraba
state House of Assembly,
Rt.Hon. Peter Abel Diah,has
beckoned at the people of the
state to continue to extend
the much needed helping
hands to the state governor,
Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku, to
carry out his dream of making
the state a better place.

In carrying out this demand,
the much needed growth and
dividends of democracy, he
believed would be extended
to the nooks and crannies of
the state as the much desired
peace, according to him would
no doubt prevail.
The speaker who spoke
through his Special Adviser on
Media Matters, Baba Jen, also
congratulate Moslem faithful
in the state and the country at
large on the occasion of Eid-El-
Kabir,
Certain that Taraba and
Nigeria, would no doubt be
great, he admonished all a
sundries irrespective of
religion and political party
affiliations to hold tenaciously
to peace by eschewing vices
that are inimical to the
development of the state and
the country.

On the ongoing insurgency in
the north-eastern parts of the
country and the continuous
bombing of oil installations in
the Niger Delter by the
Avengers, he called on the
militants and the Boko Haram
members to lay down their
arms and accept the hands of
friendship presently being
extend to them by the federal
government.
According to him ” Taraba and
Nigeria as a whole will be
great if peace and s given a
chance. So I am using this
medium to plead with the
militants in the Niger Delta
and the Boko Haram members
in this part of our country to
drop their weapons mad
embrace the opportunity
presently being offered them
by the central government.”
The speaker who said he has
seeng a ” greater Taraba”
believed if all hands are on
deck by giving the governor
the maximum supports he
need to herald the much
needed growth to the state,
Taraba, according to him ”
would soon be competing with
states like Lagos, Port-
Harcourt etc.”
Citing Taraba as one of the
leading states that offset civil
servants month remuneration
as at when due, the state
under the leadership of the
incumbent governor, is at the
verge of becoming one the
leading tea producing state in
the world.
Taking steps further to
enumerate the abundant
human and natural potentials
scattered in the entire axis of
the state, should the people
of the state continue to give
the governor the much
needed peace ” to work” such
resources, he said would be
tap into by the governor.
Using the opportunity to
applaud the governor for
lifting the ban on
employment, the problem of
unemployment which was
necessitated by the by ban
placed on employment by the
past governors of the state,
he said is ” almost coming to
an end because our governor
has lift the ban.”
He enjoined qualified youths
who have being
perambulating the streets
seeking for employment to
take advantage of the
opportunity by applying for
the positions of their choice.
Contrary to the ongoing
rumour that said employment
opportunities have been
cornered by politicians, the
speaker said the employment
would be done on merits. He
enjoyed the people of the
state to have fate on the
governor whom he said will
continue to work tirelessly
round the clock to dread
smiles on the faces of the
people.


The House of Assembly which
he is presiding upon, he said
would continue to work ” as
one family” to catapult the
state to the greatest height,
adding that ” we will continue
to avoid any act that will bring
disaffection between the
Executive and the Legislative
arms of the government.”
Unlike other states
legislators, who derives
pleasure in dragging the
number one citizens of their
states into the mud, Taraba
assembly, according to him,
would continue to toy the
paths of dialogue stressing
that ” crisis will only bring
down the state and make the
masses to suffer.”
