The former governor who insisted that peace was supreme further emphasised that no government or any leader, whether elected or appointed, was ever going to negotiate with criminal elements.

He stated that the presence of security agencies to fight criminality was agreed and endorsed by every stakeholder in Sankera and urged the people to cooperate with the security agencies as they carry out their constitutional duty within the area.

Suswam said that until the people and youths of the area give peace a chance, the military will remain and if need be he will request government to send more troops and even the Airforce and Navy to the area.

He further called on those ready to drop their arms and turn a new leaf to go to their traditional rulers, clergymen or directly to the security agencies, sign an undertaking and denounce their old ways, saying he will personally plead for them, but anything short of that, he or she should be ready to face the music.

He thanked the organisers of the meeting and everyone who braced the odds to attend this years event and prayed for lasting peace to return to Wankers axis.

According to the Senator’s  Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr. Bede Bartholomew, Senator Gabriel Suswam was accompanied to Tor Donga in Katsina-Ala LGA of the State, venue of the meeting, by Ambassadors Iyorwuese Hagher and Chive Kaave, Chairman of Katsina-Ala LG, Mr. Atera Alfred and his entire councillors and executives, Mrs Vera Akua, Iorpav Alfred, Jaq Mulya and many others.
