Governor Yahaya Bello on Thursday tasked the new Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Ahmed Anaje, not to fail the Ebira Kingdom and Kogi on unity and peaceful coexistence that fosters development.
Mr Bello made the call after presenting the staff of office to the monarch at a colourful coronation at the Ohinoyi Central Palace in Okene.
The Kogi government appointed Mr Anaje following the death of Ado Ibrahim, who died on October 29, 2023, at 94.
Presenting the staff of office to the new ruler, Mr Bello reiterated his commitment to the traditional institutions in Kogi to ensure unity and peaceful coexistence among the residents.
“I wish to assure our traditional rulers of continuous support from the incoming administration of the governor-elect, Alhaji Usman Ododo.
“I want to call on all the sons and daughters of Ebiraland that we should all come together and rally round our Ohinoyi of Ebiraland for the greatness, development and security of our land.
“This is because without unity and peaceful coexistence amongst the people, there can’t be any meaningful growth and development in our communities, state and nation,” he said.
The governor commended all the 70 contestants for the stool of Ohinoyi of Ebiraland for displaying the spirit of sportsmanship.
He, however, urged the people of the Ebiraland to prioritise harmony and actively contribute their quotas towards ensuring the safety of lives and property within the kingdom for developmental purposes.
Mr Anaje pledged to keep the culture of Ebiraland together and ensure unity, peace, and security.
