Ujah of Anaguta: I will not interfere with the selection of traditional ruler – Lalong

Plateau State Governor, Simon Bako Lalong says his government would continue to remain neutral and allow kingmakers to play their roles in the selection of traditional rulers in all the vacant stools of the State. 

Governor Lalong was speaking during the Church service for the burial of late Ujah of Anaguta, Pozoh Magaji Jauro, a first-class traditional ruler of the Anaguta Chiefdom in Jos North Local Government Area.

During the service, held at the Rwang Pam Stadium, Jos, the governor said the death of the royal father, though painful, should be accepted as the will of God.

He said the deceased was loved by his people and many others for his humility, humanity, and peaceful nature. This he said was reflected in how he assisted the government to facilitate reconciliation, forgiveness, and tolerance within his chiefdom.

On the selection of the new Ujah of Anaguta, the governor reiterated that his administration will continue to avoid interfering with the process.

He said: “Since I came into office, we have installed more than 11 traditional rulers in various Chiefdoms. There is no place that we interfered with the selection. That is why there has not been any court case against the government so far. I will continue to maintain this stance because interference is one of the causes of the crisis which we must avoid ensuring peace”.

However, he maintained that he has a duty under the law to remove any traditional ruler who fails to perform his duties or goes about instigating ethnic, religious, political and other forms of discrimination.

Gbong Gwom Jos Da. Jacob Gyang Buba also said the late Ujah of Anaguta was a key member of the Plateau State Council of Chiefs and Emirs and always made vital contributions to the development of the State.
