Chairman of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Taraba State, Alhaji Abubakar Bawa, has lamented what he described as unnecessary criticisms of the state government’s activities on various social media platforms.
Bawa, who accused social media users of peddling fake news in their criticisms, advised that they should be constructive in nature.
Bawa was speaking on the occasion of the turbanning ceremony of the Personal Assistant (P.A.) to Governor Agbu Kefas on Political Matters and Administration, Barrister Luka Agbu.
The Chairman, who said the effect of fake news in any given society can be disastrous, cautioned the peddlers to exercise restraint for peaceful coexistence in the state.
He emphasized that the good works of Gov. Kefas can not in any way be altered, stressing that the people of the State are strongly behind his government’s Moving Forward agenda.
“Governor Kefas will not in any way be deterred from doing the good works for the people and he is aware that the people are strongly behind his Moving Forward agenda”, said Bawa.
The party chair, however, stressed the importance of peace and encouraged the people to do everything possible to maintain it.
Bawa lauded the developmental strides and all-inclusive governance policy of Gov. Kefas, calling on the people to continue giving him their maximum support.
Bawa congratulated the celebrant on his traditional title and further commended him for his high sense of humility and peaceful disposition, describing same as the reason behind his successes.
In a remark, Barrister Agbu appreciated Gov. Kefas, the traditional council and the entire people of the State for the gesture.
While pledging to justify the confidence reposed in him to serve, the celebrant also called on the people to cooperate with the Governor, saying he meant well for them.
Our correspondent reports that Barrister Agbu was turbanned as Jakadan Jalingo District by the District Head of Jalingo, His Highness Alhaji (Dr.) Lamido Abba Tukur, the Galadima Muri, at an event held at Afolahan Square, Jalingo, the State capital.
