“Tragedy was averted Friday, November 16, 2018 at Old Bakana. Gun Men opened fire on my team while we were carrying out ward-to-ward consultation in the community. We thank The almighty for his protection now and always.I stand for politics of peace.
“I may be compelled to face danger but never fear it. To do anything truly worth doing, We must not stand back shivering and thinking of the danger, but jump in with gusto and scramble through as well as We can.”
