He seized the opportunity to call on the people in the state to shun fighting over land, adopt amicable and legal ways of resolving their differences, as well as to educate their people on the need for dialogue for peace and unity, which is the bedrock for any development.

They explained that the Forum has played a very important role in bringing the party to power, commending the Governor and his Deputy for justifying the confidence the people reposed in them through transforming the state.
They noted that there is no form of opposition that can dispute the developmental projects in the state, adding that there are even strong indications that some top PDP members shall be decamping into the APC, courtesy of the Forum.
They appealed to the government to consider the welfare of the party members, to assist them in running their activities and to include them in appointments, as well as sharing other democracy dividends.
On their parts, Women Leader of the Forum, Hajiya Saadatu Yusuf and the Coordinator Balanga Local Government, Malam Musa S.
