“We, the Ayikwu Egbura Onoibihu (National) of Egbura Community, wish to express our profound concerns and opposition to the premature return of Bassa Komu to Egbura land, as proposed by the Governor of Nasarawa State. This decision has stirred up deep-seated tensions and poses a significant threat to peace and stability in our community, considering the ongoing communal crisis that has plagued our region for ages”.

Government should address an age long crisis, land dispute and involve the youth before taking a decision.

“The historical context and intricacies of the Bassa Komu situation cannot be overlooked. The unresolved disputes and animosity between the Egbura and Bassa Komu communities have resulted in violence, loss of lives, and the displacement of countless families. Rushing the return of Bassa Komu without addressing the root causes and ensuring the safety and security of all parties involved is a reckless move that could reignite the flames of conflict”

The Ayikwu Egbura Onoibihu (National) of Egbura Community, appealed to the Governor of Nasarawa State to reconsider this decision and prioritize peacebuilding efforts that is youth inclusive over hasty actions, which according to him, such decision always occurred when elections are approaching.

“It is imperative to engage all relevant stakeholders, including community leaders, traditional rulers, and most importantly the youth representatives, in open dialogue and consultation to chart a sustainable path towards reconciliation and lasting peace”.
