Group drags Gombe Gov Inuwa Yahaya to court over Mai Tangale stool
A team of lawyers of Incorporated Trustees of Tangale Development Association, has taken the Governor of Gombe state Inuwa Yahaya, to court over the delay in announcing the candidate with the highest vote.
Speaking on Tuesday, at a press conference Lead Counsel, Yakubu Bawa, said it will defy human reasoning, if the contestant with the highest vote is not appointed, adding that it will be unfair to appoint those with 2 votes, describing it as “repugnant to natural justice, equity, and good conscience.”
He said the group has written to the attorney general of the state who is second respondent in the suit, to advise the governor to refrain from further actions relating to the prolonged declaration or disqualification of Dr. Musa Maiyamba.
He said, “Consequently, and in the light of all, having waited this long we have approached the high court of Justice Gombe, to subject this debacle in respect of the appointment of the new Mai Tangale to Judicial scrutiny and pronouncement as well as judicial intervention.
“Hence filed a suit in order to seek judicial review by a writ of Mandamus to compel the Governor through judicial order to announce and appoint Dr. Musa Maiyamba as the duly elected Mai Tangale as part of constitutional, statutory, administrative and legal duties required by law since he has refused to do so. We are also seeking an order to restrain the Governor from appointing any of the two contestants or any person or disqualifying Dr. Musa Idris Maiyamba or cancelling the election of the new Mai Tangale held on 15th February, 2021.
“It would defy human reasoning, justice, equity and fair play for a contestant to have scored highest majority votes who is choice and desire of the people to appoint another contestant who scored 2 votes or appoint a different person entirely. In fact doing so will be repugnant to natural justice, equity and good conscience.”
He added, “The essence of the letter already served on the Attorney General of the state is for him to inform and advise Gombe state governor to stay any action that is connected to the Stool of Mai Tangale pending the determination of the suit just filed by our clients.”
Mr. Governor Please respect youself and abstain yourself from this throne,you dont have an history in Tangale kingdom, let me remaind you that this is not politics
The gombe state governor is nothing but a sentimental naive, misguided Element, religious bigotry, charlatan and a creepy innuendo.
From the information gathered, vast majority of people in billiri Local government have vow to bring down hell in the town if their choice is not granted.That is,if something is not done, peace will soon go into Oblivion in that region!!God will help us!!
Does he even know or respect the laws of Nigeria? He only respects what Sharia directs him to do. Where was he when the people of Billiri were fighting for the creation of Gombe State during late President Shehu Shagari’s administration? He is not fit to be a leader of a secular society but an Islamic Preacher.
Mr governor for your own safety and that of your position,you are advice to do the needful and abstain from evil.
We are watching😨😨😨😨
If Governor Inuwa Yahaya believe in the rule of law as he claim by His address to the state and the maligned press releases of his Secretary to the Gombe state then the starting point of the implementation of the rule of law in Gombe state begin with the appointment of the indefatigable Justice Beatrice Iliya as the substantive Chief Judge of Gombe state as she remain as it were, the most senior legal luminary of the Gombe state ministry of justice. The nigerian constitution specify the most senior legal officer be appointed Chief Judge in the event of retirement or death of the extant Chief Judge of the state. This is the starting point of the rule of law in Gombe state that impel effortless, governor Inuwa Yahaya to demonstrate his understanding of governing a state with out any religious bias against a tribe or Christians in Gombe state. General Timothy Shelpidi, our father that fought relentlessly with other patriots of Gombe South for the creation of Gombe state shall be sad to see a governor desecrate a tribe and a people religious belief in Christ Jesus and denied positions because they by choice, worship YHWH through Christ Jesus our Lord and our King. If the govt of Gombe state sent a delegation headed by no other but the erudite Dpty Govr – His Excellency, Mabassah D. Jatau PhD, who diligently conducted an election for the vacant position of the sacred stool of Mai Tang-le and which the meek and humble Dr Musa Idris MaiYamba emerged the DIVINELY elected Mai Tang-le. How come the Secretary to the Gombe state govt and the governor now change midway the rules to replace the word election with a strange word – selection to corrupt the democratic sacred word – ELECTION. When has selection replaced election in a practicing democracy ? Dr Umaru Dikko of blessed memory once told Bashrun Abiola that Nigerian presidency is not for sale and that Power especially political power is DIVINE and God gives it to whom so ever he Will and at this time God has given to Dr Musa Idris MaiYamba the DIVINE stool so why will governor Inuwa Yahaya assume he is now God to determine who the DIVINE Mai Tang-le should be at this time. Dan 3.25-32 and Dan 4.25.32 God delivered Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from the furnace of Nebuchadnezzar and indeed made the arrogant king Nebuchadnezzar an animal for 7yrs until he came to his senses. Why will governor Inuwa Yahaya want God to turn him into an animal for 7yrs until he – Inuwa Yahaya knows that YHWH is the conquering Almighty God of Tang-le prople ? Can governor Inuwa Yahaya fight and defeat YHWH. Tang-le people are sacred people. Governor MUST handle this tribe with UTMOST diligence. Where is Hitler ? Where is Saddam Hussein ? Where’s Mussolini ? Where’s Mobutu Sese Soko ? Where’s Yahaya Jammeh ? Where’s Idi Amin ? Where’s Mugabe ? Where’s Botha ? Where’s Abacha ? Does Governor inuwa yahaya know that as far as political power is in the hand of God very soon this Almighty God is able to make a Tangale Christian become governor of Gombe state in the shortest possible time ? Governor Inuwa Yahaya should stop playing God with in the 4yrs tenor God gave yo him by Grace to suprintend the affairs of Gombe state. 2 Cor 2.7 may God give governor Inuwa Yahaya understanding to stand on TRUTH at all times for God glory and our common good in Jesus Christ name AMEN.tony tanto.
May the Lord God help him to do the right thing.
This is a breach of trust and violation of democratic principles. The Gombe State House of Assembly should institutes an act of impeachment against the barbaric governor.
He’s,Neuzant
This is the perfect epitome of poor leader and and. a fool at 40 is a fool for ever
Totally rubbish…..as a leader!
Coursing commotion in yhur state
Do yhu think yhu are in that seat to do as yhu want?
If yhu give people what dey want, what will that court yhu?
Hope billiri people are seeing what is happening now, tomorrow he will come again to buy yhur votes…..is not his fault…..our parent as fucked up from the beginning….if not this boom shit could have not happen…..but inuwa yaya ….for yhur information yhu are masing with the wrong generation
I think what Gombe State government did is right because by given the king makers to nominate 3 candidates out of 23 does mean that any one who scores a highest vote must be a king at that moment. The king makers has finished their duty is left for the governor to choose anyone out of the three nominees that is best for him and make him to be the king,the rules of law gives him that right to so and even if among the those three has no qualities that qualified him to be the king, I was also has the right to bring any body out of this three nominees and throwned him as a king despite the pack that the person is from the mai tangle family.
So if that’s is the case where are those lawyers when the opposite site has started killing and destroying some important places and religious centers in billiri? Known of them have spoken even a single word of regretting talk less of saying some sympathy words to their brothers and sisters?
Is there any tangle family that has no any Muslims?
And no any Muslims that has no any christian in his or her family.
So let’s unite ourself and embarrassed peace unity and progress of billiri, Gombe State and even Nigeria at large.
