Delta Ijaw President Generals Pay Courtesy Visit on Ogulagha Monarch

By Enaibo Asiayei 

A group of eminent personalities from the Delta Forum of Kingdoms, Clans and Communities, and the President Generals Forum (Ijaw Chapter), on Monday paid a courtesy call on the Ebenanaowei of Ogulagha kingdom, HRM, Agbonu, Torububor 1, at his palace in Obotobo community in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State.

During the visit, the group made of different personalities from Ijaw kingdoms in Delta State headed my Chief G. G Lyon, said the visit was to foster peace and development among Ijaw kingdoms, build and foster unity with other sister ethnic nationalities, and to help the government in project monitoring, and help to ensure abandoned projects are completed.

The Ebenanaowei, King Agbonu, received them alongside his council of chiefs and promised to support their desires.

In his words, “This is a great move and a body like this is very important to the Ijaw people. My advice to this body is that it should have a constitution to guide its activities, so that everyone will work according to their functions.”

Furthermore, the monarch also advised the body to imbibe the culture of love for one another and not to discriminate.

“I have seen several President General Forums that do things to override their kingdoms and that has led to disputes over a clash of interests and power tussle. This body should not be like that but should love one another and have a good constitution to guide its activities and have a good succession plan to prevent disputes.”

Some of the executives at the meeting include: Hon. Chief Richard Enaredei (JP), PRO; Mr. Zipamor Wilson, Spokesman; Chief Patrick P. Orunagha, Secretary; among others.
