Gombe Govnor Refused To Give Letter To Selected Mai Tangale cos He's Christian by TooMuchStuff: 1:47pm On Feb 19, 2021
Gombe Governor, Yahaya Has Refused To Give Newly Selected Ruler, Mai Tangale Letter As He's A Christian —Source | Sahara Reporters

have been protests in Kaltungo, Shongom, and Billiri areas of Gombe State, after the newly selected ruler, Mai Tangale, Dr Musa Maiyamba, was not given his appointment letter and sworn in by the state government.


SaharaReporters learnt that the state governor, Inuwa Yahaya, has been delaying issuing the chosen candidate's letter because he is against his emergence, being a Christian while Yahaya is a Muslim.

SaharaReporters learnt that the issue may cause a religious crisis in the area as Billiri is a Christian community and the kingmakers selected Maiyamba to lead them after the demise of the late Mai Tangale.

A top source said the selection among the potential rulers was suspended three times and in the fourth time, Maiyamba still won.

“The two other contestants got two votes each while Maiyamba had five votes when the kingmakers cast their votes. For many days after the election, no reason was given by the governor of Gombe State as regards why the state government refused to give Maiyamba his appointment letter.

“What we hear is that the governor doesn't like him and prefers a Muslim candidate. For people that travelled by road from Yola, Adamawa State, to Gombe, there was no movement on the federal road as women were seen protesting peacefully. The Kaltungo, Shongom, and Billiri areas are presently tensed,” the source said.

“We are all northerners with the freedom to be treated as equals. What gives us peace and unity is equal justice. We need peace and justice.

“People who know Dr Musa Idris Maiyamba know that he doesn't deserve this. Governor Yahaya should not deny Northern Nigeria the kind of good leaders we deserve in the name of perceived sentiments. Dr Musa is a medical doctor, a born prince, peaceful, respectful, and accommodating.

“We call on all people of truth, love, and justice to call on the governor to respect the wishes and decisions of the Tangale people. He should not allow the fragile north to continue to disunite based on our differences. Rather, he should obey the principles of justice,” another leader in the community said.

Northern Nigerian Nigerian Christians need to help themselves now.
For over 50 years, they joined Fulanis to fight Igbos who are Christians like themselves.
And the Fulani told them that religion was not a factor when they needed the miserable Middle belters to fight and kill Igbos for them.

Now, suddenly religion has become a factor. Good morning Tiv, good morning Zango Kataff, good morning Gbari.

Let the preferred king be enthroned. We want the rightful owners to take the throne and not the descendants of Usman Danfodio.

About same figure but more aggressively political and powerful with extreme oppressive tendency against the Christians like what Buhari is doing to Southern amd middle belt so
About 8 states in the North are clearly more Christian populated but some of their governors must be muslims.

And religion is being used as divider again.
It's not for the government to choose a king on any kingdom
. Once the kingmakers and the people of the kingdom are pleased with the choice of a king ,the governor duty is to agree with the people and do his own part of the deal.

Not just Christians, but also moderate Muslims and those who don't belong to their sect.

God punish Sowore and his useless Sahara reporters for always trying to set this Country in fire.

Gombe South is predominantly Christian, no governor can force any Muslim on them. He might have his preferred candidate, but I am very sure religion is not the motive.

Adamawa
Kogi
Nasarawa
Kaduna
FCT
There states are clearly Christian dominated in population but caliphate won't let them lead. Most painful is Nasarawa where Muslims are less than 30% of the state yet no single Christian governor had ever rule.
