Some aggrieved elders of Kajju land, who were opposed to the emergence of Mr. Luka Kogi Yabwat as the Agwam Kajju II, have agreed to sheath their swords and support the king in the overall interest of the chiefdom.
Rising from a meeting convened in Kafanchan Tuesday by the Vision Pioneer Throne Room Trust Ministry, Kafanchan, Apostle Emmanuel Nuhu Kure, along with two other members of the Palace Building Committee, Dr. Joseph Maiyaki and Amb. Philip Dauda, the leader of the aggrieved elders, Baba Kure Mallam, stated that it is time to give peace a chance.
The aggrieved elders had earlier rejected the choice of Mr. Kogi as the paramount ruler, alleging that the process leading to his emergence was flawed and that the chief supposedly allowed the cutting down of trees which hitherto existed for decades and desecrated the sacred land.
Mallam thanked Apostle Kure and other members of the committee for championing the reconciliation process.
He urged all well-meaning sons and daughters of Kajju land to support the king and the ongoing reconciliation process to move the land forward.
He used the opportunity to appeal to the Kaduna state governor, Senator Uba Sani, to restore the first-class status of the Kajju chiefdom, considering that the chiefdom is the second largest in terms of size and population in the state after Zazzau Emirate.
While commending Mallam’s team and the revered paramount ruler for their humility in setting aside differences, the lead convener of the meeting, Apostle Kure underscored the importance of unity to societal development.
