Ebira Leaders Want Disciplinary Action If Ohinoyi Ignores Query
From Our Correspondent
Prominent indigenes of Ebira land in Kogi State have flayed the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr. Ado Ibrahim, for allegedly disrespecting the offices of President Muhammadu Buhari and Governor Yahaya Bello, saying that monarchs must respect constituted authority and not play God.
The leaders alleged that the monarch had snubbed Buhari and Bello when the former visited Kogi on December 29, 2022, to commission some landmark projects executed by the current administration in the state.
They noted with disappointment how the current Ohinoyi had allegedly consistently assumed the position of a “permanent antagonist” to the current state government by words and actions, stressing that the monarch had totally derailed from the purviews of the assigned roles of his office by taking sides in politics in his words and deeds, instead of being neutral and playing father to all.
Their position was contained in a statement yesterday, titled ‘Ohinoyi’s Query Is Perfectly In Order,’ co-signed by Isa Ozi Salami, ‘ Ohiotenyete of Ebiraland and president, Nigeria Institute for Industrial Security; and HRH Salihu Abdullahi, Ajimasi Idu Eyire Uhuapa Ebiya and secretary, Ebira Peoples Human Rights Defence, Okene.
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.”
According to them, the monarch’s activities have allegedly been rubbishing the exalted throne, which he occupies, unlike his forebears who had conducted themselves with grace, honour and dignity deserving of the exalted office they occupied.
The indigenes further called on the state government to implement the court judgement granting Uhuodo community autonomy and entitling them to a separate Ohi stool in Okehi Local Government, while urging the government to make eligibility to the Ohinoyi stool exclusive to Ohis only.
They specifically described the monarch’s action against President Buhari and Governor Bello as “untenably reprehensible,” calling on the Kogi State government to take necessary actions against the monarch should he fail to respond to the official query issued to him within the stipulated period, saying government must not allow its sanctity of authority to be violated in such a brazen manner without consequences.
“However, should the Ohinoyi refuse to answer the official query issued to him within the stipulated timeframe, we call on the state government not to hesitate to do the needful promptly, following due process. Heavens will not fall.
“If nothing is done to redress this situation, it means Alh Ado Ibrahim is above everybody, including the Government. Today, none of our six Ohis finds his private house safe and conducive to attend meetings or functions, yet he is reluctant to shift venue for meetings to the ultra-modern Ohinoyi’s Palace. We have no dynasty in Ebiraland and can never accept an imposition,” they stated.

NEDC Disowns Circulating MSc Education Support Fund Application
Joel Ajayi
The North East Development Commission (NEDC) has warned the public against a fake and unauthorised message circulating on social media about an alleged Education Support Fund for Master’s degree (MSc) students.
The Commission, in a disclaimer signed by its management on Friday, described the purported programme, including its stated requirements and the alleged submission point at the NEDC office in Polo, Maiduguri, as false and unauthorised.
According to the Commission, it is not currently receiving applications for any MSc Education Support Fund as contained in the circulating message.
NEDC therefore urged prospective applicants and other members of the public to disregard the information and avoid submitting personal documents to individuals or locations claiming to be acting on behalf of the Commission.
It specifically cautioned the public against releasing sensitive documents such as National Identification Number (NIN) slips, admission letters, identity cards and indigene certificates in connection with the purported programme.
The Commission further warned the public to remain vigilant against fraudulent schemes and the unauthorised use of NEDC’s name and identity to deceive unsuspecting applicants.
It advised members of the public seeking information on its programmes, interventions and opportunities to rely only on official NEDC communication channels and verified announcements issued by the Commission
