Deputy Spokesman of the House of Representatives and representative of the Ado/Okpokwu/Okpokwu federal constituency, Dr Philip Agbese has intervened in the crisis between Agila and Ngbo communities of Ado and Ohaukwu LGA of Benue and Ebonyi States.
The lawmaker interfaced with stakeholders in a meeting at the Ohaukwu LG headquarters in Ebonyi State, in a bid to bring an end to the decades of communal crisis. Dr Agbese said the parley is the first of its kind in the numerous efforts to bring an enduring and sustainable end to the crisis between Agila and Ngbo. He said at this point of the perennial conflict, ordinary talks are no longer enough and that drastic measures need to be employed to install peace among the people.
'This is one of my cardinal promises during the campaign and to the glory of God, the peace which once eluded us has returned to Agila, Benue State and Ngbo, Ebonyi State. ''Gradually we shall get there by the glory of the Almighty God and what God cannot do, does not exist. 'On this note, I wish to thank our people for their support so far. We are not there yet. I need your prayers and patience more than ever. YES, WE CAN and soon things will be better.
