Ada Sunday Kaze Preaches Unity Among Afizere People
By Peter Azi – Jos
The President of the Afizere Cultural and Community Development Association (ACCDA), Ada Sunday Kaze, a retired Deputy Superintendent of Police, former ACCDA Chairman, and former Chairman of Plateau Indigenes in Lagos State, has called for unity, peace, and collective responsibility among the Afizere people.
Ada Kaze made the call during an interactive session with the media in Jos over the weekend, shortly after his inauguration as president of the association. He took over the mantle of leadership from his predecessor, Ada Yakubu Ashom, an engineer and community leader who served meritoriously for three years.
Speaking on his vision for the association, Kaze said community service had been an integral part of his life since childhood, noting that he had remained committed to the development of his community since 2001.

“Whatever I have achieved outside my community is not exceptional, and I am ready to do even more for my people,” he said.
He described the Afizere people as a great nation, stressing that division remained a major challenge that must be urgently addressed if the community was to achieve its collective aspirations.
“Afizere is a larger nation. Something has eaten deeply into our marrow, and that is division. If we all put our hands together and unite as one nation, success will be our portion. Unity will be our priority,” he stated.
The ACCDA President appealed to all districts, branches, villages, and other stakeholders across Afizere land to embrace peace and work together for the common good.
He also extended the call to non-Afizere residents living within the community, emphasising that everyone should be treated as part of one family, regardless of ethnic background.
“I want to urge all the districts, branches, villages, and the entire community, including those who are not Afizere but reside in our land, to understand that we are one. I will bring everyone together so that we can work as one family and an indivisible entity, defend our territory against external aggressors, and build a peaceful community,” he said.
Kaze further cautioned politicians, particularly those from Afizere land, against engaging in politics of bitterness, division, and rancour. He urged them to prioritise the unity and development of their people above personal and partisan interests.
He reaffirmed his commitment to promoting peace and reconciliation among the Afizere people, pledging to continue preaching the message of unity until the community achieves its common goals.
According to him, sustainable development can only be achieved when the people put aside their differences, embrace mutual understanding, and work collectively towards building a peaceful, united, and prosperous Afizere nation.
