The Gbong Gwom Jos and Chairman of the Plateau Council of Chiefs, Jacob Buba Gyang, has said state governors do not have the authority to redefine traditional boundaries.
The creation of the two traditional councils – Jos North and Riyom – has effectively whittled down the powers of the paramount ruler who superintends traditional rulers in the four local governments that make up the Jos Joint Traditional Council.According to the circular, the Attah Aten of Ganawuri will chair the Riyom Traditional Council, while the Chiefs of Anaguta and Afizere would be in charge of the two traditional stools in Jos North.
“All over Nigeria, land belongs to communities, families and individuals. We want to appeal that government must not take actions that will bring security challenges to Plateau.“I told them that as sensitive as the issue is perceived, it has not gone beyond the Berom traditional institution, the elders and the Berom organisations.
He said he had had cause to write to the state government reminding it of reports of three judicial commissions of inquiry between 1994 and 2009. The Commissioner for Water Resources and Energy, Jafaru Wuyep, who represented the governor, in his remarks, promised to convey the message.
