In his words, “In the case of my sister Atsi, a preliminary police report revealed that she died as a result of severe gunshot injuries sustained from shots by one of the police escorts in the vehicle. Investigation is still ongoing to ascertain the circumstances so that justice will prevail” (Channels Television).
The governor also evaluated the performsnce of his administration since taking office in 2023.
He said within two years Taraba was moved from sidelined to a leadership role in “discipline, technology, and a good heart”.

He ended his speech by saying he’s moving away from promises to results that will benefit the people of the state.
