PoliticsGombe Crisis: CAN Leader Apologises To Muslim Community by Positivepoint(op): 12:54pm On Feb 27, 2021
John Joseph, chairman of the Billiri local government area (LGA) chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Gombe state, has asked the Muslim community for forgiveness over the recent violence that broke out in the area.

Joseph made the appeal on Wednesday, following a meeting held with Muhammad Yahaya, governor of Gombe.

Also present at the meeting were Manassah Jatau, deputy governor of Gombe; Okon Ene, assistant inspector-general of police of zone 12 in Bauchi; Abubakar Abdullahi, chief imam of Tangale, and Margaret Bitrus, chairperson of Biliri LGA.

While addressing stakeholders present at the meeting, the CAN chairman also promised to work with other Christian leaders in the area towards peaceful resolution of the crisis.

“To the parents who lost their children, we extended our condolences. We the Christian community apologise. We condole with Muslims whose place of worship was attacked. AIG, permit me to gather other Christian leaders to meet imams and his people to apologise,” Joseph said.

Abdu Baba Maisharu II, the former Mai Tangale, had died on January 10, prompting the opening of the selection process of a new traditional ruler.

The seat is usually filled by persons of different religious leanings, and the kingmakers were said to have forwarded three names to the state government, after the conclusion of the screening process.

However, violence had broken out in the area recently, following the delay in the announcement of the new traditional ruler, as decided by the kingmakers.

CRISIS OVER SELECTION OF NEW TRADITIONAL RULER

Abdu Baba Maisharu II, the former Mai Tangale, had died on January 10, prompting the opening of the selection process of a new traditional ruler.

The seat is usually filled by persons of different religious leanings, and the kingmakers were said to have forwarded three names to the state government, after the conclusion of the screening process.

However, violence had broken out in the area recently, following the delay in the announcement of the new traditional ruler, as decided by the kingmakers.

What began as protests degenerated into crisis, following the delay in the announcement, leading to attacks on properties and killings, and the state government declared a 24-hour curfew on Biliri LGA, which took effect on February 19.

The governor had visited the LGA on February 20 to assess the level of damage recorded by the protests which turned violent.

Speaking to journalists after the assessment, Yahaya condemned the attacks, which led to the loss of lives and property.

“Government is still on the selection process of appointing a new Mai, but some forces took advantage of the development to cause mayhem, just to achieve their personal goal, which as you all witnessed today, resulted in the loss of lives and property,” the governor said.

“We condemn the criminal behaviour and actions committed by those unscrupulous elements and we sympathise with the families of those who lost their lives and property in this unfortunate incident.”

After the stakeholders’ meeting held on Wednesday, the government announced a relaxation of the curfew, which will now run from 6am till 2pm, beginning on Thursday.

A statement issued on Wednesday by Ismaila Misilli, spokesman to the governor, also dismissed the allegation about plans to announce the name of an unpopular candidate, contrary to the decision of the king makers.

Misilli was responding to a statement reportedly credited to a “southern/middle belt” forum regarding the crisis.

“It is public knowledge that the Tangale Chiefdom is a mixture of the two major religions, and available records indicate that persons of different faith had in the past few decades occupied the exalted stool of Mai Tangle. The records are there for all to access,” the statement reads.

“To the best of the knowledge of the Gombe State Government, the three names submitted by the Kingmakers are the choice of the Tangale people, and any one among them can ascend the throne.

“Thus, against the baseless allegation by the forum, there is no room for the imposition of “an unpopular candidate as the new Mai Tangle” as the Governor will not go outside the names submitted to him by the Tangale traditional Kingmakers.

“The Gombe State Government understands that all the three contenders are members of the same Tangale Royal Family. For emphasis, all the three nominees are equal before the law, irrespective of their number of votes.

“The Gombe State Government wishes to call on the citizens of the state, especially the people of Tangale Chiefdom, to continue to be calm and peaceful at this moment.

“The state government assures all citizens of the protection of their lives and property without fear or favour.”

When a successor was being sought for the throne of the Emir of Gombe, there was apprehension that the then Governor, Dankwambo, may interfere and crisis will erupt.
Good enough, The Governor allowed the King makers to select their choice after which Dankwambo gave his blessings.

Don't you think that Dankwambo's approach is better than the current Governor's approach?

For the sake of peace.
Its all about the political interest of the current government. If u look through the colonial master and how they handle the traditional system, u will realize it all about the interest of the government not the people.

Ok boss!

But the law is made for the people, and not the other way round. It was argued that the applicable law of Gombe state regulating traditional chiefdoms like Billiri, requires that election be conducted to determine the chief. If election was conducted and contestants scored various points, then you are wrong to say the King makers are to suggest.

Do you know law?

Words and terms should rather be interpreted from their original meaning, not otherwise.

Therefore, 'suggest' and 'elect' cannot mean one and the same thing.
Not election bro nomination. They got it wrong when they state how many votes each candidate got, what is required is that they should nominate 3 eligible candidate and forward to the governor who will do the final selection amongst the 3 sent. The people have no right to conduct election of a king. The king makers are to just nominate people who are eligible nothing more.

Hi I’m going through a very difficult face at the mm.

I own a 3bed room bungalow, my friend own one too but few plots away. We bought the land together about 8 years ago and we’ve been a very good Neighbor.

When my house got to roofing, this my friend gave me some money to complete it. Infact he’s my alpha and omega, we’ve been a very good friend from secondary school.

I don’t mind if he’s seeing this ,I really adore and appreciate our friendship but at the same time. I don’t want his marriage ruined becomes of me.

December 2018, my friend got a visa and travelled to the U.S.A, when he was leaving, I drove him to the airport, he told me to please take care of his wife and I should watch over her like my own wife but unfortunately, the lady has been giving me lots of altitude so I decided not to go check her any more when ever I am around.

To shorten the long story. I work in a company, I did go home mostly Monday’s to Wednesday, my works was mostly weekends but last week i was shifted to weekdays so I go home weekend now, I have been observing a young man and my friend’s wife sneaking in and out of their house.

A woman sells provisions in our street, she told me about the guy few weeks ago, she said he always comes buy Hollandia yoghurt at night also said the first day the young man came to her shop, he came to buy a condom she has been wondering who the guy was.

Yesterday one of my co worker came around 7:30pm and I was in his tinted hilux, I saw the guy smooched my friend’s wife ass,she quickly removed his hands and they went inside ,the young man drove my friend’s car and they went inside

With everything happening now it’s obvious the lady doesn’t care again. Because I don’t see a reason why she has to be fornicating and knowing we stay in the same street.
I am so heartbroken, my friend doesn’t deserve such wickedness. Right at the moment I don’t know what to do. I believe telling my friend isn’t the solution. Please I need advice And I’m available for any question and advice.
Get hard evidence and report to ur friend.

Three persons were killed and property worth millions of naira destroyed in Billiri Local Government Area of Gombe State as the crisis over the appointment of a new Mai Tangale deepens.

Confirming the incident, the commissioner of police in the state, Ahmed Maikudi Shehu, said 10 suspects have been arrested.

Angry youths, mostly women and children, had blocked the Gombe-Yola highway, protesting what they described as delay in the appointment of the Mai Tangale by Governor Inuwa Yahaya.

The protest turned violent Friday evening when the protesters allegedly killed three persons, burnt houses, business premises and several mosques.

Meanwhile, in a live state-wide broadcast on Saturday shortly after an assessment tour to Billiri town, Governor Yahaya condoled with the families of the deceased and those who lost their property.

The governor pledged to compensate those who lost their property and vowed to apprehend the sponsors of the violence and those that were involved and ensure that they face the full wrath of the law.

He said no official pronouncement was made about any of the three candidates for the traditional stool when the violence erupted.

“The violence was orchestrated by some unpatriotic individuals who thought they could blackmail the government into announcing their preferred candidate. And let it be clear that it is within my powers as governor to appoint any of the three recommended candidates to become the new Mai Tangle.

“Let me also make it clear that our administration will never cow into any blackmail, threat, intimidation or witch-hunt from any individual or group, no matter how highly placed,” he said.

Yahaya added that the violence had left him with no option than to declare a 24-hour curfew to forestall further spread that may lead to loss of lives and destruction of property.

He revealed that the state government was withholding its decision on the appointment of a new Mai Tangale until normalcy returned to the affected communities.

He assured residents that government, in collaboration with relevant security agencies, had put in place, adequate measures to ensure the protection of lives and property of all the people in the state.

Crises Has erupted in Billiri LGA of Gombe over the Selection Of New Mai Tangale following the death of the 15 Mai Tangale Dr Abdu Buba-Maisheru (II) ( Christian) who died Jan 11 2021. He Succeeded

The Previous Mai Tangale are
Mai Yamba 13th Mai Tangale( Muslim)
Mai Illyasu 14th Mai Tangale (Muslim)



The Crises is between Christian and Muslims of Same Tribe Called Tangale in Gombe state over the the selection of the 16th Mai Tangale by the Government of Gombe State.

The issue here is 3 candidates where presented to the governor for his final selection by the king makers out of 18 contestants. 3 of them are from thesame family of a previous king who happened to be a Muslim. One of the 3 contestants from the same family is a christian while the others are Muslim. The contestants names are

1. Dr musa Idris Maiyamba ( christian)
2. Alhaji Danladi Maiyamba (Muslim)
3. Alhaji Ahmad Magaji (Muslim)



The christians of the Tangale extraction began protesting that they suspect since the Governor is a muslim he will definitely back the muslim candidate against thier wish for a Christian to succeed the Dead Mai Tangale who happen to be a Christian too.

The christian protesters block Gombe Yola High way and attack motorist.

They attack Billiri Market where muslims amogst them own most of the businesses and burn to the ground.

They attack about 5 mosque and houses of muslims kinsmen including Ambassador Said u Muhammed.


The Muslims kinsmen are asking a question why would thier Christian kinsmen attack them and thier properties, place of worship over a selection process that has not been concluded.


Why they the Muslims did not attack the Christians when the Mai Tangale was given to a Christian by Governor Hasidic government.

The Crime against Muslims by thier Christian kinsmen is too numerous to mention from Jukun to Tangale ETC.

The surprising thing here is they are all same tribe and intermarried each other.

These questions are disturbing and needed urgent response from the christian kinsmen of these tribes.
