Resource control will strengthen Nigeria – Ayitogo
Nasarawa State Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Yusuf Ayitogo, has stressed that rather than break up the country, the vexed issue of resource control would strengthen it.

Ayitogo said this while speaking with newsmen in Lafia on Wednesday. He, however, appealed to all who have the Nigerian project at heart to reconsider their stand and embrace dialogue, rather than confrontation in resolving the issue.
He observed that the Federal Government has done so much for the people of the South-South pointing out that one of such efforts was the setting up of several agencies to ensure rapid development of the area as well as release of monthly allocations in large sums to back it up.
Ayitogo, therefore, advised leaders of the South-South zone to be transparent in all their dealings, as this was the desire of the people whom they were accountable to.
He said the state PDP would soon be launching the building of the state secretariat, which will facilitate and enhance its activities in Nassarawa.
The party chairman was also optimistic that the party would win the chairmanship and councillorship election in Lafia Municipal Council slated for Saturday.
