The state government said the local government and Chieftaincy Affairs commissioner visited to persuade the monarch to welcome Mr President but he refused.
Kogi State government has offered more explanations as to why the Ohinoyi of Egbiraland land, Ado Ibrahim, was queried for failing to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari last month when he visited the state.
Offering new insight into the issue, the state local government and chieftaincy affairs commissioner, Salami Ozi – Deedat, said he personally persuaded the monarch to attend the commissioning but the monarch refused. “Albeit, the current Ohinoyl of Ebiraland, His Royal Majesty, Alh. Dr Ado Tbrahim CON opted, on his own, to stay in his personal house and use it as a palace, that does not erase the fact that there is an official palace built over the years for Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, it was for this reason that when the idea to reconstruct the palace to make it befitting for the revered stool of Ohinoyi of Ebiraland was muted, he was sufficiently consulted and he gave his consent.
Mr Deedat said despite his persuasion, the monarch refused to come out because of “a deliberate act of disloyalty and insubordination to the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Executive Governor of Kogi State.”
