“If I am elected Nasarawa governor, security will be my topmost priority because there cannot be any development without adequate security,” he said.
Maku regretted that rural communities in the state had continued to suffer vicious attacks, and promised to make them peaceful because their inhabitants were responsible for the food consumed in the cities.
He promised to run an all-inclusive government that would be fair to all.
Responding, the Aren Eggon, Angbazu, who was represented by the Aren Maku, Chief Usman Umbugadu, thanked Maku for the visit and advised him to caution his supporters against actions that could lead to crisis and loss of lives.
