“We will not go back, we are begging the governor Umaru Tanko Almakura to assist transfer our voters register to Nasarawa”.

——————————————

The over 2,324 persons displaced as a result of the communal crisis that claimed scores of lives in Wukari Local Government Area of Taraba State have relocated to Lafia, the Nasarawa State capital.

The Internally Displaced Persons, IDP’s, vowed not to return to Wukari again.

The victims, presently taking refuge at the palace of the Emir of Lafia, Isah Agwai, said that they will remain in Lafia and never go back to Wukari.

Speaking on behalf of the victims, the Wazirin Wukari, Mohammed Madaki, said that they have found a new home and would work to leave happily and in peace with their new neighbours.

The displaced persons urged the state government to make provisions for the replacement of their voter cards to reflect Nasarawa State.

“We will not go back,” he said. “We are begging the (Nasarawa) governor, Umaru Tanko Almakura, to assist transfer our voters register back to Nasarawa”.
