DSS summons Labaran Maku for questioning

The Department of State Services, Nasarawa state command, on
Wednesday summoned the National Secretary of the All Progressive
Grand Alliance, Mr. Labaran Maku, for undisclosed issues.

Maku, who described his invitation by the DSS as “a good one”
which, he said, has nothing to do with the speculations in the
social media that he would be arrested, called on politicians to
desist from shedding the blood of innocent Nigerians on account of
the forthcoming 2019 general elections.

The National Secretary of APGA made the call in Lafia, shortly
after he was quizzed for undisclosed issues for about an hour by
the Nasarawa State Command of DSSS.

Maku, who was a former Minister of Information, urged
politicians to join hands and bring peace and development to their
communities instead of promoting violence and bloodshed.

According to him, as politicians, they could disagree on issues,
but that does not mean that they are enemies, adding that
disagreement is an important attribute of a democratic system.

He, however, affirmed that disagreement by politicians should be
geared towards making the society better and not to destroy it.

“I was a commissioner, deputy governor in Nasarawa State and
minister at the Federal level, but today, I am not longer in
position, but I can still move around freely because I served the
country very well and refused to be corrupt.

“So, leaders should understand that the authority and privilege
of every public office would surely end one day, whether we like it
or
not.”

He condemned the massive relocation of Tiv people from Nasarawa
State due to herdsmen attacks and called on the state government to
live up to its responsibilities of securing lives and property.
