Today marks the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, a significant event that serves as a reminder of his sacrifice and victory over death. The resurrection is a symbol of new beginnings and eternal life. This day serves as a reminder that no matter what challenges life throws our way, there is always hope and the possibility of rebirth.

As we reflect on the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, we are reminded of the scripture, "it is finished," which he spoke just before his death. Those powerful words remind us that our plan of salvation has been completed, and that we are now free from the bo***ge of sin.

Let us remember the selfless sacrifice that Jesus made for us and the love that he demonstrated. Let us also be grateful for the gift of salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life that he provided. May this Easter season be a time of reflection, renewal, and rejoicing.

Happy Easter to all Christians!

Sequel to the annual celebration of Nigeria's independence day. I wish to congratulate all esprit Nigerians (especially my people of Zing LGA) for sighting the 61st Nigerian independence day. It is a rare honor and privilege to sail down to this day which many lose their lives in strive against destitution, diseases, and other tragedies of life. I also congratulate our tireless leaders in different strata for their humble effort to ride the country in their niche at this trying moment. Congratulations and may God bless you all.

My dear people. We are now 61 years old after independence; old enough to live with the awareness of doing the right thing and to eschew evil, to evade what will discomfort us. No one is oblivious of the dangers of disunity and the profits of Unity. it is one of the dilemmas that plagued us today: religious hatred, tribal antagonism, and interpersonal hostility have maimed us from the progress and conquests we fought for. The orchestrations of hatred and division among us are the prominent enemy of Zing; drawing expansive chasm between southern and northern Zing. This year, I call you to embrace unity particularly in Both southern and northern parts of Zing and even the entire Mumuye communities. Let us live with one voice, with love, and being our brother's keepers. By then we can challenge our adversaries at the gate and nothing shall ever be impossible to us, especially at the time that we need political relevance.

The issue of security is another catastrophe. Our daily breaking news is scary from North to the south of Nigeria we are faced with dreary news of manslaughters and other social wickedness that restrain our minds in anxiety and awe. we now live in a country where the life of the common man is at hazard. You cannot sleep with two eyes closed anymore: kidnapping, banditry, thievery, and insurgents are on the rise. snatching of mobile phones and motorbikes has incredibly increased. Hence, I urge u to be conscious of these evil people and stay alert to support the police, civil defense, Secret security service, hunters, the vigilante groups, and the entire patrol team of the Local Government. I confess to you this committee had been safeguarding us in Zing and are still doing very well to secure our Land. let's complement their efforts by been security cognizant.

Food security is so essential to us. Who is not astounded at the price of food this season? A bag of Groundnut is normally sold at 4, 000 - 10, 000 naira in September. But this year it lingers on from 14,000 - 22, 000 nairas. that is incredible. Till today a mud of corn is 650 naira. Why can't we make positive personal policies to secure our crops to survive in the proceeding year? Don't sell everything you have labored for just to waste money on secondary issues of life. sell to solve basic needs problems and keep your food for tomorrow. The government may not be able to provide for all your needs. if you sell everything you might suffer starvation ahead. If you are reading or listening, pass this to our people in your neighborhood and even to those in the villages. 'Don't Sell All your harvest'.

As we celebrate this independence day. Don't forget to make sure you and your voting-age family members have a voters card. This is very essential. The INEC has already commenced the Continues Voters Registration (CVR) process and across the 10 wards, we have volunteers who are working hard to ensure every person has registered. make sure your children eligible to vote have registered either through the ward agents or through the INEC office. The recently added pulling units require people to register therein without which they may not be useful. I call on you to heed keenly to this and play your role in maximizing our voters to make fruitful use of the new voting units.

Today, let's look to God for Nigeria to be a fortunate place for all. Though many things went wrong. But there is hope again. Let's pray hard for God to help us stabilize our Economy, Both Agriculture, infrastructure, and other natural resources. Let's look to God to curb the insecurity challenges. let us moreover pray for our leaders. May God give them the wisdom to govern with justice and equity.

Conclusively, I call on the youths to pursue education and entrepreneurship. Try to discover something to do with your hands to earn a living. May God flourish our nation, State, and Our wonderful Local Government.

Happy liberation day to all of you.

Today I received in audience the delegation of the European Union who came to oversee the project of community development under Oxfam for their services in influencing policy change in favor of the poor and most vulnerable as well as their response to humanitarian needs of the people.

We are thrilled and grateful for these services because our people have gleaned a lot from the project. Not only from their grants and loans but also their financial education, moral training, teamwork, personal development, and agricultural literacy.

Congratulations to all participants and beneficiaries.

GOOD NIGHT MAMA TARABA

All of us live to leave one day, and where we are going is eternal, no more fight, weeping, diseases nor death. There we shall gather and shall forever be.

The demise of Mama TARABA brought a sad feelings to us... every locality is Mourning especially here in Zing. What a great loss to our State and the entire nation: yes! We lost a creative, proactive, sincere and faithful leader. She was indeed a woman like men. we'd wish that God should give her more chance to bring hope to our state and our dear country. But God loves her more.

When I was far away from her, i didn't notice the inbuilt blessings and influence in her, but when I came close to her, I discovered a great woman of substance that cannot be ignored by any reasonable person. Adjectives can not describe the bravery, courage, sacrifice and passion for true leadership and commitment in her sincere service to the people. Maman Taraba is one of the few politicians who fulfilled their promises when they assume office. Aisha was a truthful politician.

She left a great legacy in the practise of democracy in Taraba state and Nigeria at large. People from various local governments have glean the benefit of her leadership with conspicuous testimonies in the lives of youths, women and elders.

I hereby on behalf of my self and the entire People of Zing LGA heartly commiserate with the family and friends of the decease. May the Lord give you the fortitude to beer the pain of this great loss.

May her soul continue to rest in peace.

Earlier today I received an investiture of the Boys Brigade Nigeria as the grand patron of Zing Battalion Council, together with 5 other patrons and two chaplains!

May the Lord bless you for coming. Indeed your act of humility and patience was remarkable and your presence made the programme the best from many others.

Don't be misled..!
The people of Zing loves the SSG.
There was no any legitimate plan to call for his impeachment.
We are pleased with his representation.

if you care.

Latest news 08/02/2021

Kindly disregard any news calling for the removal of the SSG of Taraba state. This is not the voice of Zing, but an orchestration from unknown haters, who wants to destroy the image of SSG and the peace of mumuye people.

I am certain that Hon. Anthony Jellason is a man of his words and never fear to tell the truth at all cost. He looks to people's face and tells the truth. He is not only truthful in service, but faithful and trustworthy. In fact among the past leaders we had from zing, he is one of the best; no doubt, it is one of the reason his Excellency, the governor of Taraba State, Arc. Dickson Darius Ishaku chose to work with him, just as the preceding governors have done.

Any plot to detach truthful people from the government is a risk to a common man and danger to the government. Hence, on the side of truth, We firmly love the SSG for his good leadership and representation of mumuye and Zing respectively. Our allegiance for him and the state Government is limitless.

The information as quoted from the news in this link https://www.blueprint.ng/taraba-indigenes-demand-removal-of-ssg%e2%80%8b/was fake and untrue , because Monkey Bitako is not a name of human being in zing. Including the ones claimed to have been said by the SSG. The journalist that feature this piece should retract this information or will be taken to court for lying and deformation of character.

Painful Loss to Zing Community.

The death of Engr. Joseph Agewu weakened our minds and set our hearts in deep groaning and pains. We keep asking why and how?

Well, we return all glory to the LORD.
May the Lord comfort all of us.
May the Lord console the family and friends
May His Soul rest in perfect peace.

My beloved people.

As the Enumeration area demarcation (EAD) unfolds in Zing. I Meekly want to inform you that this EAD is very important to each household and the entire community. Therefore take it with all seriousness. Give them the correct information about your households and DON'T forget it (write it down and keep it safe).

Kindly calm down if they didnt reach your terrain, because they still have more days ahead of them. Still, Make sure these people come to your house before it ends in the next 11 - 13 days, and if not, kindly report.

Make sure all your grown up children knows the exact number of people in your household as given to the enumerators. This is because some supervisors may come to validate the data by sampling some households.

Be guided accordingly.

19/10/2020

Fellow citizens, I have received shocking news about the killing of motorcyclists around Zing and snatching of their vehicles. I feel the pain of loosing innocent citizens in this way, and also the anguish of their families and friends, may the LORD liss our heartbroken souls..!

Hence, I encourage all motorcyclists to reduce working by night, especially accross narrow dark places. Please tell your loved ones who are motorcyclist to be content with day - drops. Few hours at night may not give them what they toil all day to procure.

As I work toward ensuring adequate security, I still want to encourage genuine and trusted local Vigilantees around our communities who are fomarly known by the security agencies to intensify their effort in collaboration with police patrol team in protecting the lives and properties of our people.

This is our land.
A peaceful land.
Let peace prevail.
