In a bid to maintain peace and order in the state, Taraba State Governor, Agbu Kefas, has issued a stern warning to traditional rulers in the state, cautioning them against acts that undermine peace in their domains. The governor made this known while addressing the state’s traditional rulers in Jalingo, the state capital.

According to Governor Kefas, certain practices by some traditional rulers have been identified as threats to peace and stability in the state. These include the indiscriminate sale of land, illegal issuance of mining consent letters, involvement in illegal mining, and other similar offenses. The governor emphasized that his administration would no longer tolerate such practices and would take swift action against any ruler found guilty.

The governor’s warning is a clear indication of his commitment to ensuring that traditional rulers play a positive role in maintaining peace and stability in their domains. By cracking down on irresponsible traditional rulers, the governor hopes to promote good governance, protect the rights of citizens, and ensure the overall development of the state. Any traditional ruler found guilty of these offenses would face disciplinary action, including possible suspension, deposition, or prosecution.

The governor’s move has been seen as a bold step towards promoting accountability and good governance in the state. By holding traditional rulers accountable for their actions, the governor is ensuring that they prioritize the welfare and security of their subjects over personal interests. The development has been welcomed by many in the state, who see it as a step in the right direction towards peace, stability, and development.
