Dimapur: The Kilo Kilonser (Home Minister) of the FGN, in his report which was submitted in the 55th Session of the Tatar Hoho held on October 26 at Kohima Village had declared that the FGN cannot create its Zeliang region against the will of the people.
Informing of this, Alan, the Assistant Secretary of the outfit’s Rali-Wali Department said in a release that the former Kedahge of the FGN, rtd Brigadier S Singnya had appointed a Midan Peyu for the region on October 2 without the recognition and approval of the Zeliangrong Regional Authorities and the Tatar Hoho.
The question of instituting a Zeliang Region was therefore put up in the 54th Tatar Hoho held on March 3, according to Alan.
The Federal Government then decided to defer its decision on the matter and thus constituted a commission headed by its Kilo Kilonser.
The Commission is said to have met on several occasions with Eno Namrikiu and a few of his supporters who wanted to create the Zeliang region. They were asked to bring the historical background for possible creation of Zeliang region. The Zeliangrong Regional authorities were also asked to bring the same along with the opinion of the public organizations on the related issue, the release said.
However, no documents supporting the creation of a Zeliang region was reportedly brought forward by Eno Namrikiu and his supporters.
Only the Zeliangrong Regional Authorities forwarded the historical background of the Zeliangrong and documents showing the solidarity of Zeliangrong people.
The faithful refusal on creation of Zeliang region by the Zeliangrong Baudi was also produced, the release further said. As a result of which, the Zeliangrong region could not be created.
