NEWSDAILYNIGERIA: The Middle belt Forum, (MBF) Kaduna, has affirmed that Major Gambo Joseph Bobai, Rtd, is the genuine and acceptable Chairman of the Forum, in Kaduna State, thereby dissociating itself from any purported leadership Change.

The Forum maintained that Major Gambo led Excos, now serving their second term as leaders of the forum, have till December, 2025 to end their tenure, thus describing any so-called election now as politically motivated, lacking due process and integrity.

MBF further condemned in strong terms the desperate actions by some political actors to hijack the Forum for their personal future political aspirations, inimical to the vision of the Middle belt Forum, as an apolitical organization.

Addressing a Press Briefing in Kaduna, on Wednesday, the Chairman, Major Gambo Bobai,( Rtd), Comrade Chance Cletus, Secretary General and Comrade Monday Adukwu, Publicity Secretary, totally dissociated itself from the alleged leadership change that was cooked up on July, 13, 2024, which brought in one Luka Biniyat and his team.

” The Middle Belt from Kaduna State Chapter hereby condemned, reject and dissociate itself in totality from (Hon. Jonathan Asake and Luka Biniyat Political Group) that was cooked up on 13/7/24.

” The Middle Belt Forum Executive (EXCO) led by Major Joseph Gambo Bobai (RTD) is the genuine and acceptable Forum in Kaduna State, our executive (EXCO) remain committed to the true  spirit of the Middle Belt Struggles.

Jonathan Asake, Barr.Mark Jacob, Emmanuel Alamu  and John Haruna  trying to Hijack the forum for their future political ambition (especially 2027).
