CAN chairman calls for calm over appointment of 16th Mai Tangle

Rev John Joseph, the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Billiri Local Government chapter has appealed for calm amongst residents following a protest over the appointment of the new Mai Tangle.

Rev Joseph who made the appeal while briefing our correspondent in Gombe said it had been on record that the people of Billiri were peace-loving.

He said the people of Tangale were not known to be violent, therefore, I call on our sons and daughters to remain calm and law abiding.

“They should not take the laws into their hands as we would do all within our powers and the ambit of the law to ensure that the people’s choice is given to them,” he appealed.

The clergyman further called on people within and outside the Chiefdom to continue to pray for the peace and the will of God to be perfected.

Rev Joseph appealed to the state government to do “ what is just, fair and right in the shortest time to douse tension and calm all frayed nerves.”
