A public notice issued by the National Headquarters of the Middle Belt Forum has shed light on the leadership tussle within the Kaduna State Chapter. The notice, signed by Lanre Obafemi, Director of Administration, aims to set the record straight regarding the chapter’s leadership.
According to the notice, the Kaduna State Working Committee (SWC) under the chairmanship of late Maj. Gambo Bobai (rtd) was legally replaced on July 14, 2024. This replacement was facilitated by an election conducted by representatives of the National Working Committee (NWC) in Kaduna.
The election saw the emergence of new leaders, including Mr. Luka Binniyat as Chairman, Mr. John Haruna as Secretary, and Ms. Larai Shekari as Treasurer. These individuals, along with other elected members, now form the new SWC of the Kaduna State Chapter.
The public notice serves as a warning to the former leaders of the chapter, including Samuel Wuyah and Chance Cletus, to desist from parading themselves as the legitimate executive members. The notice emphasizes that these individuals have been stripped of their former positions and should not be recognized as representatives of the chapter.
The Middle Belt Forum’s decision to issue this public notice is aimed at satisfying its responsibility to inform the public about the change in leadership. The notice cautions that anyone dealing with the former officers in relation to the Kaduna State Chapter does so at their own risk.
This development comes after the Kaduna State Chapter of the Middle Belt Forum held elections on July 13, 2024, which saw the emergence of Mr. Luka Binniyat as the new chairman ¹. The election was conducted by representatives of the National Working Committee (NWC) in Kaduna.
The change in leadership is expected to bring new direction and focus to the Kaduna State Chapter of the Middle Belt Forum. The new executive members are tasked with promoting the interests of the chapter and working towards the overall goals of the Middle Belt Forum.
As the new leadership takes over, it is essential for the public to be aware of the change and to recognize the legitimate executive members of the Kaduna State Chapter. This will help to prevent any confusion or misinformation that may arise from the activities of the former leaders.
In conclusion, the public notice issued by the National Headquarters of the Middle Belt Forum serves as a formal announcement of the change in leadership within the Kaduna State Chapter. The notice aims to inform the public and to prevent any confusion or misinformation that may arise from the activities of the former leaders.
