Kunav Nation Distances Self From The Presentation Of Saasaa To Akume As President, Kunav Youth, Says He Is Not Recognized

November 25, 2023

My attention has been drawn to a post made early this week about the presentation of Saasaa Ajav to my father and leader, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in North-Central and Benue State, Sen. Dr. George Akume at his Abuja residence as the President of Kunav Youth by the member representing Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal Constituency of Benue State, Hon. Sesoo Gboko Ikpagher.

I want to make it explicitly clear that despite the fact that Sesoo Gboko represents Jechira which is made up of Vandeikya and Konshisha, matters concerning the Kunav nation should be handled with respect for Vandeikya Traditional Council and other stakeholders, thus, he was supposed to contact Ter Kunav, His Royal Highness Josephus Nyiyongo Achiaku who is also the Chairman, Vandeikya Traditional Council before embarking on such visit of impersonation which has exposed his ineptitude in handling matters of serious concerns.

The action of Sesoo Gboko is a gross disregard for Kunav nation, Ter Kunav, all the elders and stakeholders in the affairs of the Kunav nation. 

I'm the President General Mbadede Development Association (MDA) WorldWide , member Concerned Kunav Elders' Forum which Ter Kunav and Tor Jechira are members and above all I am the Treasurer of Mzough U   Tiv worldWide. I am also the Trustee Secretary Kunav Youth Organization while Ter Kunav is the Trustee President.

Saasaa Ajav, the self-acclaimed President of Kunav Youth hails from Mbausu, Mbadede of Kunav nation. I believe that if I have a son who is the President of Kunav Youth, I should know. Saasaa is not a member of Kunav Youth but a charter man in Kunav land and any other place in Nigeria.  He is a grand father of over 50 years and not a youth in any form.

If Saasaa claims to be the President of Kunav Youth, He should provide evidence of recognition from Vandeikya Traditional Council or Kunav Traditional Council or Kunav United Development Association (KUDA).

Apart from Tor Jechira and Ter Kunav by virtue of my position as Treasurer Mzough U Tiv, I am the only person who is well informed  on current events in Kunav nation and has all the information regarding all the associations and other related organizations in Kunav nation.

The public is warned strongly that anybody dealing with Saasaa as President Kunav Youth is taking a big risk as the entire Kunav nation doesn't recognize Saasaa as such.

Those who need clarification on this issue should contact Ter Kunav, His Royal Highness, Josephus Nyiyongo Achiaku or my humble self.

Signed:

Barr. Stephen Akpehe,

President General, Mbadede Development Association (MDA) Worldwide; member, Concerned Kunav Elders' Forum; Treasurer, Mzough U Tiv Worldwide; Trustee Secretary, Kunav Youth Organization.
