While commending the existing efforts to end insurgency in the area, the two governors urged President Muhammadu Buhari to do more.

“He said what happened to Taraba, happened to us in Gombe and we feel it directly.

He urged the people “to abide by all the rules and regulations that would safe guide them from any form of security threat.” He acknowledged that the insecurity in the zone is at the peak of going down.
