FULL TEXT OF THE STATEMENT READS-
The attention of the Tangale Community Development Association (TCDA) has been drawn to the constitution of a shadow ‘TCDA’.
We wish to notify all sons and daughters of Tangale Community Development Association at home and in the Diaspora and indeed the general public to disregard any shadow ‘TCDA’, its representatives and/or activities.
The Tangale Community Development Association is an organized body that operates within the ambit of its constitution; the tenure of the current Caretaker Committee expires on the 20th April, 2021.
In view of this, a meeting of the general assembly was summoned on the 5th April, 2021 in order to decide on the way forward.
The General Assembly which comprised of members of the Caretaker Committee and Chairmen of all TCDA branches is the highest decision making body of TCDA. At the end of its meeting on Monday 5th April, 2021, the following resolutions were reached:
- That the Tenure of the current Caretaker Committee, with the approval of the Board of Trustees, has been extended by another six months effective 20th April, 2021 and should therefore continue to pilot the affairs of TCDA.
-
That the Caretaker Committee should organize an election to all the offices of TCDA within the next six months.
-
The General Assembly noted with dismay the announcement over the media of an illegal constitution of a shadow caretaker committee; that all their activities are unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional.
-
The General Assembly which is the only highest decision making body has approved the leadership of Mr. Agur Sankace Amance.
-
That all movable and non-movable preparation of TCDA should be under the custody of the current Caretaker Committee under the leadership of Mr. Agur Sankace Amance.
-
That the General Assembly will be convened in the event of any other development or as the case may be.
- TCDA wishes to register its unhappiness over the existence, in Billiri, of an unofficial security outfit as unnecessary and somewhat provocative; we therefore call for its immediate withdrawal out of Billiri and its environs.
TCDA is using this opportunity to appeal to our people to remain calm, law abiding and seek the path of peace. Let us also continue to be united and focused more than ever before as together we shall see the progress of our land.
Long Live TCDA
Long Live Tangale People
Long Live Gombe State
