His Excellency Rt. Hon. Simon Bako Lalong, the immediate past Plateau State Governor, has
called on Nigerians to pray for the state to overcome its current security
challenges.
Lalong made the call at a dinner organised in his honour by
the 1990 set of the Faculty of Law, Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria.
Chairman of the set, Sylvanus Tahir, a Senior Advocate of
Nigeria (SAN), and his set put together the event, which was held on Sunday
night in Abuja.
The ex-governor, who decried the wanton killings and
destruction of properties in the state, said there was a need for Nigerians to
collectively pray for the return of total peace in the state.
” I call on Nigerians to pray for Plateau and its people so
that we can overcome the current security challenges
”I left the office as governor of Plateau only a few weeks
back but the current happenings in the state are worrisome.
“I have always been on my knees praying that when I leave
office, Plateau should be better than where I left it.
“I will continue to pray and this is why I am calling on all
Nigerians to support Plateau people with prayers,” Lalong urged.
