PLATEAU PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION, PPA APPOINT NEW CHAIRMAN, REMOVES CHIEF NANYAH DAMAN AFTER PASSING 'NO CONFIDENCE' VOTE DUE TO ACTS OF GROSS MISCONDUCT




Following an extraordinary Congress meeting  of Plateau Publishers Association, PPA, held yesterday, Prince Daniel John Bok has been unanimously appointed to serve as interim Chairman of the association for a specified period in order to lead the Executive Committee saddled with the responsibility of conducting a fresh election of new officials and to carryout day-to-day running of PPA activities on behalf of the group. 

The recent development within the ranks of PPA became necessary in view of the removal of its former embattled Chairman Chief Nanyah Daman, also known as 'Enoch Shaks', due to proven cases of abuse of office, acts of gross misconduct and constitutional breaches, levelled against him by the Executive Committee of the association and ratified by the Board of Trustees as well as Congress of the PPA.

The aforementioned action carried out through the collective resolve of all three organs of the group, which has been long overdue, began and ended after exhausting all  measures outlined in the association's Constitution, norms and practices, including a formal letter of petition made against the ousted Chairman, signed by 6 legally appointed EXCo members, a resolution by PPA Board of Trustees, an emergency Congress meeting held last Friday 10th January, 2025 which discussed and examined the petition leading to setting-up of a three-man committee to reach out to the embattled former chairman for his response on the disturbing cases of high-handedness, then report back it's findings after 48 hours, all these cardinal steps  prompted the jittery ex Chairman Nanyah Daman, to issue a statement that at best, is deemed dead-on-arrival, baseless, laughable and empty folk tales dished only through his social media handles or news mediums in the sacred social media, which all amount to work- done-zero, because such was all done in a bid to use the PPA as a means to gain access to Government offices, its officials, or attract undue gains to himself and his co- family travellers. The question begging for an answer is, when did a professional body like the PPA become an ethnic mouth piece or family affair? 

For the avoidance of doubt, judging from 16 names paraded in his long epistle, 2 names represent the same person, 13 out of 16 individuals in his write up belong to a known ethnic group, while 12 others are his immediate family members still in post secondary school, serving as interns, as well as a known number working as civil servants under the pay-roll of the Plateau State Government. 

For the authentic registered members and officials of the PPA under the leadership of the new visionary PPA Chairman, Prince Daniel John Bok, we remain one united, focused and ethical body of Publishers, Proprietors and owners of newspapers, News-magazines as well as social media blogs duly registered and recognized by relevant Government institutions. 

Therefore, conscience imposes a duty on us to note that it is the end of the road for an individual who thrives on the PPA to deceive or intimidate the gullible for patronage in Plateau State and beyond! It still remains to be seen in the public domain, if Chief Nanyah Andrew Daman will respond to the well established grounds of petition against his official conduct below:


Signed: 

Prince Daniel John Bok
Chairman 
Plateau Publishers Association, PPA  


Mr Godfrey Sunwar
Secretary PPA
