Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Chairman of Wukari LGA of Taraba State, Agbu Samaila Dauda, has reaffirmed that the Aku-Uka remains the only supreme traditional authority in Wukari.<\/p>\n

In a statement released on Thursday, Dauda refuted claims that he approved a meeting organized by the Tiv Elders Forum on December 30, 2024.<\/p>\n

He dismissed the allegations as \u201cbaseless and laughable\u201d, stating that no such authorization came from his office.<\/p>\n

The chairman further accused the Tiv Elders Forum of spreading falsehoods and attempting to destabilize the peace in Wukari.<\/p>\n

He also condemned the group\u2019s appointment of Mr. Nenshi Terer as \u201cTer Wukari\u201d, a title he described as illegitimate and unrecognized by both the Wukari Traditional Council and the local government.<\/p>\n

\u201cTitles such as \u2018Ter Wukari\u2019 do not exist in any legal or traditional framework within Wukari Local Government,\u201d Dauda asserted. \u201cI call on security agencies to investigate and apprehend Mr. Nenshi Terer or anyone falsely claiming such a title.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also rejected the concept of a \u201cTiv Central Leader\u201d within Wukari, emphasizing that all residents, including the Tiv community, must adhere to the traditional leadership structures of their respective chiefdom.<\/p>\n

He urged them to address concerns through the proper channels, beginning from village heads to district and chiefdom authorities.<\/p>\n

Calling on the public to disregard the Tiv Elders Forum\u2019s claims, Dauda labelled them as deliberate fabrications aimed at creating unnecessary tension in the local government area.<\/p>\n
