Luka Binniyat remains the duly elected chairman of the Middle Belt Forum Kaduna State Chapter, as endorsed by the national body. This endorsement is a clear indication that Binniyat’s leadership has been recognized and validated by the national organization.
According to the Middle Belt Forum’s national headquarters, Binniyat was elected as the chairman of the Kaduna State Chapter on July 14, 2024. This election was conducted in accordance with the organization’s constitution, and Binniyat emerged as the clear winner.
The national body’s endorsement of Binniyat’s leadership is a significant development, as it puts to rest any doubts or controversies surrounding his election. It also demonstrates the national organization’s commitment to upholding democratic principles and respecting the will of its members.
As the duly elected chairman, Binniyat is expected to provide leadership and guidance to the Kaduna State Chapter, working closely with other stakeholders to promote the interests of the Middle Belt people in the state.
It’s worth noting that the Middle Belt Forum’s constitution and bylaws do not provide for the automatic appointment of a new chairman in the event of a vacancy. Instead, the organization’s rules suggest that a new election should be held to fill any vacancies that may arise.
