ABOH PETER REACTS TO CHIEF OSANA'S STATEMENT

Aboh Peter has strongly condemned the remarks attributed to Chief Osana of Keana Local Government Area, Nasarawa State, describing them as divisive and capable of undermining the long-standing peaceful relationship between the Tiv and Alago people.

Drawing from history, he recalled the cherished tradition of Abiya—a bond of friendship, trust, and mutual support that united Tiv and Alago families for generations. According to him, peace can only be sustained through dialogue, mutual respect, and a commitment to rebuilding the trust that once made both communities live as one people.

He called on traditional rulers, community leaders, and stakeholders to promote unity rather than division, stressing that Nasarawa's strength lies in peaceful coexistence among its diverse ethnic groups.
