Prominent Ebira Leaders Condemn Ohinoyi of Ebiraland over Absence During Buhari’s Visit Ibrahim Oyewale in Lokoja Reactions have continued to trail the absence of the foremost traditional ruler in Kogi State, the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr
Reactions have continued to trail the absence of the foremost traditional ruler in Kogi State, the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr. Ado Ibrahim, during President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to the state, as prominent indigenes of Ebira land in the state yesterday criticised the royal father for allegedly disrespecting the offices of the president and Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, saying monarchs must respect constituted authority and should not play God.
The trio alleged that the monarch had snubbed Buhari and Bello when the former visited the state on December 29, 2022, to inaugurate projects executed by the current administration in the state. While throwing their full weights behind a recent query given to the Ebiraland monarch for allegedly disrespecting the offices of the president and governor, the Ebira leaders noted that “there has been no regime in Kogi State that has not queried Alhaji Ado.”
The indigenes said this just as they called on the current administration in the state to implement the court judgement granting Uhuodo community autonomy and entitling them to a separate Ohi stool in Okehi Local Government Area, while urging the government to make eligibility to the Ohinoyi stool exclusive to Ohis only.
