Ijaw’s in Egbema Warri North Demand Delta Commissioner Slot from OKOWA__Prince Binikuro

The people of Egbema, Ijaw ethnic group in Warri North, Delta State have called on The Delta State Governor, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to consider one of them for appointment as commissioner when reconstituting his cabinet for his second term.

The convener of Egbema liberation movement, Group, Comrade Prince Binikuro, made the call on behalf of his people at a press conference in Warri Delta State. The group also congratulated Governor Okowa on his election for a second term in office.

Prince Binikuro noted that successive governments in the State have been marginalising Egbema Ijaw people, particularly in the distribution of political appointments.
Prince Binikuro said “The group decided to seek seek governor Okowa’s intervention because the people are confident that the governor will uphold justice fairness and equity.

“More importantly, we the Egbema’s are firmly glued to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, even in the recently concluded general election, the Egbema people massively supported and voted governor Okowa in politically difficult terrain as Egbema.

Prince Binikuro further added that the Egbema people have been marginalised politically for many years despite series of peaceful protest, though we believe that violence is not the right tool to attract attention but believe in constructive engagement.

“While it is the governor’s prerogative to appoint whoever he deems qualified as member of the state executive council, we want to state that the Egbema people have some of the most qualified persons and therefore request his Excellency, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to kindly consider them in making his choice of next cabinet members.”

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity

Olu Of Warri Defends Tradition, Speaks on Christianity The Olu of Warri, His Majesty Ògíamẹ̀ Atúwàtse III, has dispelled the insinuation that there is a conflict between the traditional thrones and Christendom. The monarch, who stated this when he received the Soun of Ogbomoso land, Oba Ghandi Afolabi Olaoye, Orumogege III, in his Palace in Warri Kingdom, Delta State, said that the two institutions were not necessarily antithetical. He also debunked the assumption that traditional institutions were synonymous with fetishism and the worship of creations made by human beings and reasoning. He, however, noted that the two institutions can play complementary role that will contribute to the growth and development of the country. The Olu, who said he was elated by the Soun’s visit, said the new Ogbomoso monarch’s choice of Warri kingdom as his first place of visit was divinely directed, just as his choice for the throne was divinely ordained.
