Crisis brews in Plateau community over alien traditional stool

Plateau community under the auspices of Pan Development Association in Qua’an-Pan Local Government Area of Plateau State said it will not accept “Miskoom”  Safiyanu  Allahnana who is an alien as their traditional ruler. 
Chairman of Pan Development Association (PDA) , Mr. Mark Dachi disclosed this on Sunday during a press conference in Jos and said since the selection and  installation of  Safiyanu Allahnana  who projected the Long Jan stool as a Goemai Monarch, crisis has been brewing in the community.
He said the abuse of the tradition and heritage of his people by wrongful attempt to project the Long Jan stool as a Goemai stool was what triggered the 2005/2006 crisis  that perished several lives.
He explained that the indigenous Kofiar/Pan people of Quan-Pan Local Government viewed with consternation the attempt to set in motion events which if allowed to unfold will hamper peaceful coexistence in the community.
“When you deny your roots, you lose your rights and privileges, an alien ruler cannot be foisted upon our people. The Pan people will never recognize “Miskoom” Safiyanu Allahnana as Long Jan.
“The Pan people have hereby resolved that “Miskoom” Safiyanu Allahnana lacks legitimacy for denying his father’s pan Ancestry. We call for resumption of the dialogue between Pan and Goemai elders and youths initiated in 2018 by Government through Plateau Peace Building Agency  and Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs to avert crisis.”
Mr. Dachi called on Government to warn Miskoom Abubakar Sadik Gayam and a so-called Namu Chiefdom Community Development Association (NCCDA) to desist from calling Jepjan, a Goemai land.
He said that the status quo on Jepjan (Namu) land ownership ordered by the judgement of the Court of Appeal Jos Division in 2018 must be maintained for peace.
“The abuse of our tradition and heritage as a people, by the wrongful and mischievous attempt to project the idea that the Long Jan is a Goemai Monarch; is a clear misrepresentation and distortion of the noble and respectful historical facts.
“We have noted with dismay the provocative congratulatory messages sponsored by one Miskoom Abubakar Sadik Gayam for himself and the so-called Namu Chiefdom Community Development Association (NCCDA)”.
He noted with dismay the printed posters, fliers, and T-shirts, bearing inscriptions like “Miskoom, TALKIOP, MOE LAP YIL GOEMPANG” as well as unwarranted attacks on elderly Pan people of Jep Jan by some Goemai youths.
He explained that Miskoom is a traditional title alien to Koffiar-Pan dynasty which indicated a clear manifestation of territorial expansion into our ancestral land.
