Putting the Controversy to Rest: First-Class or not First-Class.

1. The Sun News Paper: confirmed that, Kokko Yake emerges first Gung-Za’ar of newly created Zaar Chiefdom on 27 October 2025 10:11 pm WAT

  

 *The publication continues that* 

".......His emergence followed the provisions of the Zaar Chiefdom Law 2025, which guided the transparent election process....".

This was contained in a press release signed by Khadija Danladi Hassan Kobi, Information Officer, Ministry for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Bauchi State, dated Sunday, October 26, 2025.

2. Zaar Chiefdom:

"....Bauchi Gov Confirms Brigadier General (rtd) Marcus Kokko Yake As First-class Ngum Zaar..." Source: *The Gazelle News.* Updated on October 27, 2025 by Abimbola Ogunaike.

3. The official portal of the Bauchi State Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs is *outdated* at the time of my finding. Meaning there are no recent update in the portal.

4. Bauchi Governor Confirms Marcus Yake as First-Class Ngum Zaar, Elevates Zaar Chiefdom. Source : Albarka Radio: published by Muhammad Sani Mu'azu - October 27, 2025.

So let the issue of FIRST CLASS should be put to rest now.

With the little findings I have done both by searching for public record sources and having a private discussion on the matter with some people. I won't comment on this issue again.

I have been convinced that he is a FIRST-CLASS Chief .

Can Any Chiefdom in Nigeria Truly Survive without Politics?

The concern that Zaar culture is beginning to embrace politics is understandable, especially given the sensitivity of identity, tradition, and leadership. 

However, it is important to ask a sincere and practical question: *Is there any chiefdom in Nigeria today that can truly survive without politics?* 

The reality is that no chiefdom operates in isolation from political structures. 

Across the country, traditional institutions—whether among the Yoruba traditional institutions or the Hausa-Fulani emirate system—exist and function within frameworks that are recognized and supported by government. 

The creation of chiefdoms, the approval of traditional rulers, and even the establishment of administrative structures are all tied, in one way or another, to political processes.

This does not mean that culture is being replaced by politics. Rather, it shows that politics and tradition often coexist, especially in a modern state like Nigeria.

The real issue, therefore, is not whether politics is involved—but how it is managed.

If politics is used as a tool to:

1. Promote unity

2. Bring development

3. Secure recognition and rights for the people

Then it becomes beneficial. 

But if it is allowed to:

1. Create division

2. Undermine tradition

3. Promote personal or sectional interests

Then it becomes a problem.

In the case of the Zaar people, what should matter most is that our culture, values, and identity remain strong and respected, regardless of any political connection.

The establishment of the Chiefdom and related developments should be seen as an opportunity to strengthen our heritage, not weaken it.

Therefore, instead of seeing politics as a threat, we should focus on ensuring that it is guided with wisdom, fairness, and a deep respect for our traditions.

Politics may be inevitable, but preserving our culture is a responsibility we must all uphold.

The Naming of Z.D.A. Secretariat After Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed.

There are understandably different perspectives regarding the naming of the Z.D.A. Secretariat after the current Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Abdulkadir Mohammed (Kauran Bauchi).

Some individuals may view it from Perspective A: that this recognition is a way of appreciating and immortalizing the Governor’s decisive and courageous step in assenting to the Zaar Chiefdom Law—despite criticisms—which ultimately led to the historic installation of Brigadier General Kokko Yake (Rtd.) as the Gung Zaar I of the Zaar Chiefdom.

Others may see it from Perspective B: that such an honour could have been used to recognize one of the many heroes and sons of Zaarland who have contributed immensely to the struggle and development of the people.

Whichever perspective one holds, it is important to acknowledge that both viewpoints deserve understanding and respect.

However, beyond these differing opinions, the most significant achievement remains clear:

The Zaar Chiefdom has been established, and the Z.D.A. Secretariat has been successfully commissioned in Tafawa Balewa for the collective benefit, progress, and unity of our people.

At this point in our history, what matters most is not the name alone, but the purpose it serves. The Secretariat stands as a symbol of growth, recognition, and a new chapter for the Zaar people. 

Regardless of linguistic or cultural differences reflected in the name, it should unite rather than divide us.

Let us therefore embrace this development with maturity and a spirit of togetherness. Our strength lies in our unity, mutual respect, and shared vision for a peaceful and prosperous Zaarland. 

By focusing on what binds us rather than what separates us, we can build a stronger, more inclusive future for generations to come.

Response to Sharing Sensitive Matters on Facebook

 On involving social media (Facebook):

This was neither accidental nor due to unpreparedness. What you are seeing today is something I have carefully thought about for over six years, dating back to 2019/2020.

Although I have spent recent years in Lagos, I am not unaware of the issue at hand. 

Without doubt, this is an internal matter that should be resolved internally. I strongly believe that we have capable elders and traditional rulers who are entrusted with the responsibility of handling such issues affecting Lim. 

This is not a choice for them—it is a duty. I am only a young person among many. 

Expecting me to raise such concerns before those responsible take action places a burden on me that I should not have to carry.

 Why bring this to social media?

In the past, journalists would physically investigate such matters and report them, thereby calling attention and holding responsible parties accountable. Social media now serves a similar purpose, especially for communities like Lim that may not receive such direct coverage.

Taking this matter to social media was not an attempt to resolve it, but to remind those responsible of their duties. Accountability remains theirs, not mine.

 *You may ask why I did not approach the elders or relevant parties directly.*

That is a fair question. However, the simple answer is: *it is not my duty to do so.

 In conclusion:

 My intention was not to settle this issue on social media, but to call attention to it and remind our elders that addressing such sensitive internal matters is their responsibility, not mine.

Thank you.
