Laven stressed that as the chairman of the council, I try to accommodate everybody to ensure peaceful coexistence amongst the Tarok people.
“I can’t divide my own people of politics ,we work for Useni to become the senator and during the last gubernatorial election we overwhelmingly supported him so why should some jobless people be going about trying to disrupt our peace”, he said .
He stated that there is no crisis in PDP and Hon Beni and Useni are haven issue, we spoke with Useni on phone over the wards Congress and explain to him in details what transpired after the Congress.

He explained further politicians should embrace failure, adding that “we have individual’s choice of candidate in election so our opinions are different so we shouldn’t allow jobless politician to infiltrate our society.”
He maintained that Tarok people are known for their peaceful disposition so anybody who is anti-peace won’t be happy with the tremendous development going on in Langtang North LGA.
Joshua Ubandoma challenged Tarok Sons and Daughters to use their energy towards promoting and developing the land for better service delivery to our people rather than promoting politics blackmail and hatred.
He confirmed to clear some issues whether Useni son, Ponfa was responsible for causing political loggerhead between his Father’s and Hon Beni Lar ,Laven said “we never had problem ,we met with ponfa sometimes in December ,so I don’t think we have anything against each other.”

He employed politician to play politics in accordance with the tenets of democracy dividends not to cause division amongst the citizens.
