Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq on Monday inaugurated a high-powered\u00a0committee of statesmen and diplomats\u00a0to resolve\u00a0the longstanding\u00a0Erin-Ile and Offa crisis in the state, a process\u00a0he hopes\u00a0would help to \u00a0finally\u00a0restore harmony between these \u201cgreat\u00a0communities of brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The committee is chaired by\u00a0former Governor Cornelius Adebayo, and peopled by statesmen, jurist,\u00a0historians,\u00a0academics and bureaucrats: retired\u00a0Justice Saidu Salihu;\u00a0Alhaji LAK Jimoh; Chief Titus Ashaolu; Senator Simeon Ajibola; Alhaji Abubakar Ndakene; Senator Mohammed Ahmed; Permanent Secretary (Political, Cabinet and Special Services) Barrister Sabitiyu Kikelomo Grillo; and Prof. Hassan Saliu (Secretary).<\/p>\n

AbdulRazaq\u00a0urged\u00a0the committee to do their all to proffer\u00a0lasting solutions to the perennial\u00a0crisis that has claimed lives and destroyed\u00a0properties for decades.<\/p>\n

“For posterity, this Government has decided to swiftly move in another dimension to finding a lasting solution to this crisis,” AbdulRazaq<\/a> said at at the inauguration of the committee in\u00a0Government House Ilorin, which was\u00a0attended by the retired UN special peace\u00a0envoy and\u00a0Chief of Staff to the President Prof. Ibrahim Gambari.<\/p>\n

“I am indeed very grateful to the Almighty for making this day possible for us to witness and with the belief that today\u2019s stride will bring a good turnaround to an age-long issue between Offa and Erin-Ile Communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

AbdulRazaq said\u00a0that\u00a0the recurrence of the crisis \u2014 the last of which occurred in March 2021 \u2014\u00a0is a major headache to the administration and a drawback for\u00a0the economic viabilities of the two great communities.<\/p>\n

“This is why we have\u00a0carefully selected few among many that we believe are elderly and have\u00a0vast knowledge in peace resolution. I therefore want to congratulate the Chairman and members of this Committee for the opportunity to serve the State in this capacity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

“I am delighted for being able to put together this\u00a0very powerful committee with men of vast experience. The issue of Erin-Ile and Offa has been with us for decades with so many panels. So, let me make it clear that the government has no interest in supporting any community. You have free hands to go where the law takes you. Please work\u00a0with the two communities to come up with your report.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chief of Staff to the President Professor Ibrahim Gambari\u00a0commended the Governor for his sense of duty and\u00a0the historic step to break the ice, and urged the two communities to agree to a peace deal that would further cement the sobriquet of Kwara\u00a0as the state of harmony that is the\u00a0bridge between the north and the south.<\/p>\n

Gambari said a peace deal between the two communities would be the best gift anyone could give to President Muhammadu Buhari whose eyes the diplomat said would now\u00a0be on the committee.<\/p>\n

\u201cI speak with the authorities of the President Muhammadu Buhari. I briefed him constantly on land dispute between Erin-Ile and Offa and he always stress the imperative of peace and unity. Because without peace, there can be no progress and development. No investor will invest his money in an atmosphere of confusion and chaos. The toughest conflicts are among brothers. Erin-Ile and Offa are brothers. These are communities that are part and percel of Kwara State,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMr President has asked me to impress upon all the stakeholders that the best present that you can give him is to let peace prevail among the two communities and in Kwara State. For me, it is a unique opportunity to be here to personally deliver the message and to really underscore the imperative of peace to our state known as the state of harmony and state of peace. We are the most northern extension of the south and the most southern extension of the north and we live in the middle of the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cKwara is a natural home of\u00a0peace makers, natural bridge\u00a0builders. So, how can we be natural peace builders and peace makers and not have peace in our own communities? Charity must begin very much at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to really commend His Excellency, our governor, for his tireless efforts in ensuring that peace prevails between the two communities. He briefs me all the time and I in turn brief His Excellency the President. What he\u00a0has asked me is to stress the enormity of the task this committee has. Because what we want is the permanent solution to the perennial conflict which has taken so many\u00a0lives and so much\u00a0resources.<\/p>\n

\u201cI commend the chairman and members of the committee for accepting to serve on the committee. The eyes of Nigerians are\u00a0on you. The eyes of Mr President are\u00a0on you. I believe by God’s grace success will be yours. Because your success is the success of the two communities and the success of Kwara State.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u00a0have been privileged to be peace maker on behalf of the United Nations in Myanmar, Iraq, Cyprus and Zimbabwe and my last assignment was in Darfur between many communities. For me, the fundamentals are the same that there cannot be violent\u00a0or military solutions to conflicts. We have to find what unites us. What unites us is greater than what divides us. We have to identify the spoilers and isolate those with personal interest so that the centre of gravity can prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n

C.O Adebayo, former Kwara governor and chairman of the committee, said\u00a0they\u00a0will do their\u00a0best to make the government and the people\u00a0proud.<\/p>\n

“We commend the Governor and\u00a0appreciate the presence of the Chief of Staff to the President. His presence here confirms the commitment which we very much appreciate,\u201d he said, adding that members of the panel cannot decline such an important state\u00a0assignment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
