Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu says Nigeria needs peace to develop as a people.
Ekweremadu stated this in Gombe while inaugurating a 37km road in Deba, Yamaltu-Deba Local Government Area of the state.
He said that the state witnessed developmental strides because of the peace that prevailed in the area.
Ikweremadu added that such should be the model for other states in the country.
He noted that the greatest thing any governor could give to his people, was to ensure that there was peace, adding that Ibrahim Dankwambo of Gombe had done a lot to ensure peace in Gombe.
He commended the good people of the state for their support for the administration of Dankwambo in the last eight years.
Earlier, Dankwambo thanked Ekweremadu for honouring the visit to the state.
He stressed that the road would ease the hardship that was hitherto experienced while boosting the economic activities.
