ISOZI President Calls for Unity, Urges End to Further Debate on Za’ar Chiefdom Establishment

NEWS REPORT
Tafawa Balewa, Bauchi State

 
In a historic appeal for unity and forward progress, the President of the International Society of Zaar Intellectuals (ISOZI), Engr. Mbimda Ali Mbishida, has issued an official declaration urging all members of the Za’ar community to cease further discussions and disputes surrounding the processes that led to the establishment of the Za’ar Chiefdom and the installation of its Paramount Ruler, the Gung Za’ar.

Speaking on behalf of the ISOZI leadership, Engr. Mbishida described the realization of the Za’ar Chiefdom as a “monumental victory born of perseverance, sacrifice, and divine grace.” He emphasized that the enthronement of the Gung Za’ar stands as an “enduring testimony of the people’s unity, resilience, and faith,” calling it a dream once distant but now gloriously fulfilled.

“At this crucial point in our history,” he said, “it is imperative that we lay aside every lingering grievance or debate surrounding the processes that brought us here. Dwelling on the past will not advance our cause; it will only distract us from the greater task before us, building a Chiefdom that reflects the dignity, wisdom, and strength of the Za’ar people.”
The ISOZI President called on all Za’ar sons and daughters to redirect their passion and intellect toward initiatives that will strengthen the Chiefdom socially, economically, and culturally. “The world is watching,” he added, “and it must see a people united under one banner of peace, progress, and pride.”

In a gesture of reconciliation, Engr. Mbishida also affirmed ISOZI’s commitment to reaching out to the former Gung Zaar Select in the spirit of mutual respect and unity. “He is our father and remains our father,” he stated, noting that his contributions and sacrifices “will never go unsung for generations to come.”

Concluding his address, the ISOZI President called for a collective resolve to “close the chapter of contention and open a new one of collaboration.” He urged all citizens to rally behind the newly enthroned Gung Za’ar and work together to build a legacy of unity and progress for future generations.

“May peace reign in Za’arland. May unity guide our steps. And may collective progress remain our shared pursuit.”

The declaration ended with a resounding affirmation:
Long live the Za’ar Chiefdom.
Long live the Gung Za’ar.
Long live the Za’ar people.
