He made this disclosure during the commissioning of a 22-kilometre road project in Taraba state on Saturday, May 20.

According to him, he had sleepless nights trying to address the problem, Daily Trust reported.

The ex-president urged the people of the state to live in peace for more development to thrive.

Jonathan, who noted that security is in the hands of the people, expressed happiness that Taraba was gradually returning to the good old days of peaceful coexistence and tolerance, THISDAY report added.
