The Special Adviser to Gov. Umaru Bago of Niger on Political and Strategy, Mohammed Nma-Kolo, has called on Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), to safeguard the existing peace in the state.
He made the call during a meeting with IPAC in Minna on Tuesday.
The adviser urged them to remain vigilant, proactive and prevent any action that could jeopardise peaceful co-existance in the state.
Nma-Kolo said as representatives of diverse political parties, they should set aside their differences and work together to ensure progress of the state.
“As diverse political parties, we understand the importance of unity and cooperation on achieving our share goals.
“Our state can not strive without your support, we appreciate your positive contributions towards the development of the state,” he said.
He appealed to them to encourage their supporters to voice out their concerns through appropriate channels rather than resulting to nationwide protest.
Nma-Kolo said the governor shares in their concerns and had taken measures to alleviate hardship in the state.
He called on them to support the Bago-led administration to build a brighter future for the state.
He said that the administration had achieved significant strides in agriculture, aimed at ensuring food security for the state and the country.
The adviser said that it was crucial for everyone irrespective of their political differences, to support the governor to deliver good governance to the people of the state.
Responding, the Chairman of IPAC in the state, Alhaji Isah Bello, lauded the adviser for being proactive in ensuring political parties come together to support the administration.
He said that IPAC in the state would not take part in the planned nationwide protest due to the incredible performance and achievements of the governor.
Isah called on the governor to ensure that political parties were adequately captured in government incentives and programmes.
