President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday
congratulated Prof. James Ornguga Ayatse, on his election as Tor Tiv,
the paramount ruler of the Tiv people.
Ayatse, a former vice-chancellor of the
Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, is also the pioneer and
immediate past vice-chancellor of the Federal University, Dutsin-Ma,
Katsina State.
In a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President said Ayatse’s
emergence as the paramount ruler of the Tiv people was an affirmation of
his strength of character, integrity, and moral authority garnered over
the years as a lecturer, erudite scholar and administrator.
While urging all his subjects to rally
round the new monarch to make his reign as Tor Tiv a success, the
President urged the paramount ruler to use his office as a platform for
conflict prevention, peace building and development.
Commending the transparent process that
led to the emergence of the royal father after the demise of his
predecessor, Alfred Akawe Torkula, Tor Tiv IV, last year, the President
offered his best wishes to the new monarch as he prepares to ascend the
throne of his ancestors.
