I pray that this letter will serve to break the inertia and propel you to do the needful. So many things have been said over the predicament you currently facing in life and history of Tangale.
As a prince of Tangale Chiefdom, I am sure you know deep within you that the circumstances you have found yourself today are avoidable. It is the desire of almost all princes worldwide to ascend the throne of their forefathers, more so, the throne of Mai Tangle. I am informed that this last attempt was not your first at making effort to ascend the
throne. I will therefore be correct to state that, you, more than any of your well-wishers, are
conversant with the Tradition and Culture of the Tangale people, especially as it relates to
ascension to the throne of Mai Tangle. I believe strongly that deep within you, you are aware that you have not met the Traditional/Cultural criteria to give you the legitimacy to ascend the throne of your forefathers. People who do not wish you well are quick to say that the Governor of Gombe State has the power to appoint anyone to the throne. My brother, I call you so because we are all brothers as Tangale people, the legitimacy of the
stool of Mai Tangle is derived from the TANGALE PEOPLE ONLY. Whatever support the
Government of the day may give you, you know deep within you, when you lie down alone, that you are not the legitimate Mai Tangle. Molli, I sincerely sympathize with you because you are currently neither a happy nor a fulfilled man.
The land your forefathers contributed in preserving is flowing with blood. There is no peace in the land. You may know what needs to be done to bring peace, being a prince, but you are helpless because you do not have the right. The right to ascend the throne is given by the Tangale people only, and you have not been given. I see you as a lonely prince. Even those who for reasons best known to them forced you on your people may not go with you
all the way.
Molli, as a true grandson of Mai Yamba, follow the path of honor, come back to your kith and kin, support your nephew (son) whom the Tangale people have given the right to rule over them and wait on God for another opportunity to contest. ”Lau tolo buttam?” Please do not bring the wrath of your ancestors on yourself. The beat of the drum you should
dance to be that of your people not that of outsiders.
PLEASE MOLLI, ACT AS THE TANGALE MAN THAT YOU ARE, ACCEPT THE REALITY OF WHAT
YOU ALREADY KNOW. WAIT FOR SOME OTHER TIME IF GOD DESIRES THAT YOU BE ELECTED AS MAI TANGLE. PLEASE LEAVE. I write to you in love and believe that someone who loves you, and love Tangale land, will bring this letter to your notice.
May posterity judge us fairly.
