“Some have been arrested and retrieved, we will introduce more stringent measures, including guarantors for subsequent beneficiaries of future interventions” he said.

Governor Buni emphasized the supremacy of the party against individuals or groups, “your loyalty should be to the party and not individuals because those individuals are also submissive to the supremacy of the party”.
