The Board of Trustees, Caretaker Committee, Igala Cultural Development Association has rejected the recent review of the upgrade of Traditional Stools in the State.
The ICDA in a letter titled: CALL FOR REVIEW OF THE RECENT UPGRADE OF TRADITIONAL STOOLS IN KOGI STATE, and addressed the Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, copied the Thenigerianpostnewspaper reads as follows:
CALL FOR REVIEW OF THE RECENT UPGRADE OF TRADITIONAL STOOLS IN KOGI STATE,
Your Excellency’s attention is drawn to the above subject matter.
2. We wish to appreciate you for the continued effort to keep Kogi State Safe.
3 We wish to inform you that the recent announcement of the upgrade of Traditional stools in Kogi State has generated a lot of anger and outcry instead of good will for your government.
4 The Iist recently released is fraught with inequity, unfairness and very far from dispensing justice. The effort of Government in this regard has dealt a great blow on the supposed ranking of your government as detribaized.
5. Your Excellency is kindly requested to correct the withdrawal of the list, set up a panel to revisit it, taking into cognizance the need for the Area Traditional Councils and the public to make input into the exercise.
6. We continue to pledge our loyalty to your government while assurring you of the highest esteem of our regards.
Thanking Your Excellency for your consideration.
Comrade Omattah E.E
Chairman.
