The Bashar Chiefdom in Wase Local Government Area has lauded Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang for reinstating His Royal Highness, Alhaji Abdullahi Idris, as the Rekna of Bashar, the highest traditional ruler in the district.
The traditional ruler was suspended on October 2, 2024, but the governor reinstated him recently.
A source at the State Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs confirmed the reinstatement to our correspondent in Jos.
The Bashar Chiefdom Community Development Association (BACCODA) described the reinstatement as a great success for the community and the state at large.
In a statement signed by its President, Dr. Zakari Mohammed, and Secretary, Alhaji Yunusa Aliyu Garba, on Thursday , BACCODA described the Governor’s action as a hallmark of true leadership, statesmanship, and a demonstration of genuine commitment to grassroots unity, cultural preservation, and peaceful coexistence across Plateau State.
“We at BACCODA, on behalf of the entire people of Bashar Chiefdom, extend our heartfelt commendations to His Excellency, Governor Caleb Mutfwang, for this noble and unifying gesture,” the association said.
“The reinstatement of the Rekna of Bashar is a triumph for justice, fairness, and the collective desire of our people to sustain our cherished traditional institutions. This action clearly shows the Governor’s willingness to listen to the yearnings of the people and prioritise communal harmony above political divides”.
BACCODA said the resolution of the chieftaincy matter in Bashar would further consolidate ongoing peace-building initiatives across the Wase Federal Constituency and the entire state.
BACCODA appealed to the people of Bashar Chiefdom and the entire Wase Local Government Area to rally around their traditional rulers, maintain law and order, and continue supporting the developmental strides of the Plateau State Government.
It reaffirmed its commitment to working collaboratively with the state government, traditional stakeholders, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration at the federal level to bring more dividends of democracy and sustainable development to the people of Wase.
