Stop The Name Dropping To Stop Ogbia Brotherhood Inauguration” – Ogbia Group Caution Turner, Obordor, Others …Write Open Oetter To Gov. Diri

….says conflicting positions against Bayelsa Govt directive, suspicious

A progressive group of Ogbia people from all walks of life who believes in the Progress and Development of Ogbia Kingdom, under the aegis of the ENAl Ogbia Democrats have warned those involved in confliction calls and submissions on the suspended inauguration of the leadership of the Ogbia Brotherhood should desist and stop dropping the names of the Former President,Dr. Goodluck Jonathan to curry favour.

The ENAl Ogbia Democrats, in a letter to the Bayelsa State Governor,Senator Douye Diri, signed by its coordinator. AZIBOLANARI ORU and Secetary, JOSEPH DAPAR, expressed the concern over the suspicious and questionable conduct and calls made by some known politicians from Ogbia Kingdom on the suspended inauguration of the Ogbia Brotherhood executives.

According to the letter, despite the initial calls made by known personalities from Ogbia Kingdom under the Ogbia Mission Group including Azibola Robert, Chief (Hon.) Robert Enogha,Chief Barr. Jude Amiditor Rex-Ogbuku, Professor Teddy Charles Adias, Professor Allen A.. Agih, Dr. Azibapu Godbless Eruani CFR, Chief (DR) Samuel Ogbuku, Hon. Maxwell Oko and Professor Faith Owablel Robert that the Obanobhan of Ogbia Kingdom to shift the date for the Inauguration to allow for wider consultation in their ward.

The radio announcement by the Ogbia “Think Thank” signed by Chief Savior Ibegi, Hon. Tonye Okio and Rev. Fr. Ikuli and actions of the duo of HRH A.J. TURNER, Obanobham of Ogbia Kingdom and the member of the Federal House of Representatives, Chief Mitema Obordor Is deemed at conniving to stampede the Inauguration of the Ogbia Brotherhood EXCO.

According to the group, “The ENAI Ogbia Democrats is a coalition of Ogbia people from all walks of life who believes in the Progress and Development of Ogbia Kingdom.”

“The recent development in the traditional institution is of great concern to every true Son and Daughter of the kingdom. The Ogbia Brotherhood has suffered smooth and peaceful operation for years, this could be traced back to the days of Late Justice E.J. Igoniwory as the then Ag. Obanobhan of Ogbia Kingdom.”

“The struggle for who will be in charge of the affairs of the great Ogbia Kingdom can be traced back to the that era and the Groups and Individuals who played different roles hither for bad or good is still very fresh in our memories. Before we go further, let us remind the high and mighty in Ogbia Kingdom and outside Ogbia that the ENAI Ogbia is taking records of all your roles and shall reward accordingly.”

“Now, fast-forwarding to Saturday 22nd of August, 2024 where Ogbia Kingdom gathered at the Sacred Hall of Ogbia Brotherhood and it was announced that all litigation stopping the election of New EXCO of the Brotherhood has been withdrawn and a later meeting was called and each of the clans where mandated by the Ogbia Brotherhood Congress to go and have their meeting to select from amongst them who will represent them in the New EXCO and to the best of our knowledge that was done and we were expecting the Inauguration of a New EXCO on the 28th September, 2024.”

“To our surprise, we heard a radio announcement from a body called the Ogbia Mission Group on the 24th of September, 2024 by nine great Sons of the Kingdom namely:

1. Azibola Robert

2. Chief (Hon.) Robert Enogha

3. Chief Barr. Jude Amiditor Rex-Ogbuku

4. Professor Teddy Charles Adias

5. Professor Allen .A. Agih

6. Dr. Azibapu Godbless Eruani CFR

7. Chief (DR) Samuel Ogbuku

8. Hon. Maxwell Oko

9. Professor Faith Owablel Robert

Calling the Obanobhan of Ogbia Kingdom to shift the date for the Inauguration to allow for wider consultation. Though this action, many viewed as inimical to the process of Ogbia.”

“On the same vein, on the 26th of September, 2024 we heard another radio announcement by a group called the Ogbia “Think Thank” signed by Chief Savior Ibegi, Hon. Tonye Okio and Rev. Fr. Ikuli with a deferent view from that of the Ogbia Mission Group and suggested that the Inauguration should hold as scheduled because it was Ogbia Brotherhood Congress decision and that few person cannot stop it, which is reasonable. Few hours later, the Bayelsa State Government announced directing that the Inauguration of the Ogbia Brother-Hood EXCO should be put on till hold till further notice.”

“NOW OUR CONCERN; From the day Bayelsa State Government issued the directive for the postponement of the Brotherhood Inauguration to date is over one month and nothing reasonable has been heard from the State Government.”

“The Ogbia Mission Group that came up with the idea to shift the date of the Inauguration of the Ogbia Brotherhood EXCO to allow for further consultation have not also taken steps on the matter.”

“The Ogbia Think Thank is as good as helpless as their position differs from the above.”

“Based on the forgoing and many other reasons the above mentioned organization made up Ogbia people met at Otuoke to think the way forward and the following resolutions where reached:”

“That Bayelsa State Government, the Ogbia Mission Group made up of the above mentioned names, HRH A.J. TURNER, Obanobham of Ogbia Kingdom and others have connived to standpeed the Inauguration of the Ogbia Brotherhood EXCO.”

“That His Excellency, the Former President of Nigeria Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan GCFR should call his Friend HRH A.J. Turner to order. Who has been hiding under his cover to carryout his Agendas and Chief Mitema Obordor who is the Field person A.J. Turner his using to service is personal interest not minding the negative effect on the Ogbia people.”

“The request to call HRH A.J. Turner and Hon Mitema Obordor to order became imperative because almost all the crisis in the ogbia Brotherhood and by extension Ogbia Kingdom can be reasonably traced them. Anything that does not favour them should not see the light of the day. They should stop dragging the name of Former President Goodluck Jonathan to local issues, if they love him as they are claiming they should protect his name with all that they have including their personal interest.”

“We are appealing to the Bayelsa State Government, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan GCFR, Former President of Nigeria, His Eminence Dumaro Charles Owaba, the Obenobhan of Ogbia Kingdom, the Ogbia Mission Group, HRH A.J. Turner, HRH Dogood Omiloli, should come together and solve the problems that they have created in the Ogbia Kingdom.”

“The ENAI Ogbia Democrats are appealing Bayelsa State Government not to allow friends of the Bayelsa State Government to use their powers to purnish the Ogbia people. Finally, we want to advise and at the same time warn that Ogbia Kingdom is bigger than any individual or group of persons.”

Abia 2031: Competence Will Dictate My Successor, Says Governor Otti

Abia 2031: Competence Will Dictate My Successor, Says Governor Otti—-Gov. Alex Otti of Abia says he will neither be a godfather nor impose his successor on the state after serving his second tenure in 2031.

Otti spoke on Thursday in Umuahia, while receiving a former Social Democratic Party Gubernatorial Candidate, Mrs Ngozi Johnson-Chukwunenye, and her supporters into the Labour Party (LP).

He said that leadership succession should be based on identifying the most suitable person for the job, rather than perpetuating a “sit-tight” culture.

He said that the person who would succeed him would be better equipped to provide quality leadership to the people.

Otti said: “The most important thing you can give a people is good governance.

“And once people test good governance, it will be very difficult for them to allow you to take them back.

“So, if you are afraid that we will go back to Egypt, it will never happen and what I can assure you is that, by the time I’m done, the person who will succeed me will be better than me.

“I don’t want to be a godfather and I don’t tolerate godfathers.

“We will all sit down, look at everybody and say, who is the best person for this job and then all of us will agree and we will campaign for him.

“He will win and we will take a back seat.”

The governor also reiterated his earlier stance not to seek another elective position after completing his second tenure.

He said his administration’s focus was to provide good governance and create an environment, where younger people could emerge as capable leaders.

“We should stop this sit-tight. It’s only you. It can’t be only you.

“There are smarter, more trained, better-trained, better-equipped younger people; our children. We need to give them opportunity,” he said.

Otti said that his administration was already preparing younger people to take over leadership responsibilities through various initiatives, including the Abia Leadership Academy.

He said that over 1,080 young people, between the ages of 16 and 25, had recently graduated from the academy.

“You will see how smart our children are. So, these are the people that will take over from us.

“And they are being trained now for tomorrow; so we can never go back,” he said.

The governor also said the administration’s effort to improve governance and infrastructure would continue, in spite of criticism.

He argued that development could not be achieved in one day.

He said his administration had prioritised the restoration of Aba and Umuahia before extending its interventions to other parts of the state.

“We are now moving into the hinterlands, and we will continue until we reach everywhere; so nothing will stop us,” he said.

He thanked Johnson-Chukwunenye for joining the party and for remembering less privileged children, including pupils from the School for the Blind.

Otti said such gestures demonstrated concern for vulnerable members of society.

In a speech, the National Vice-Chairman of the party (Southeast), Mr Ishmael Onuoha, said the party’s motto aligned with the ideals expressed in the third stanza of the national anthem.

Onuoha described the party as one committed to the masses and hope for Nigerians.

In a remark, the LP Chairman in Abia, Mr Peter Azubuike, said the growing support for the party was a by-product of Otti’s good governance and performance.

Azubuike said the party was ready for the 2027 elections, urging members to prepare for polling-unit-based campaigns and ensure effective mobilisation at the grassroots.

In a speech, Johnson-Chukwunenye said that she had closely followed the Otti administration and was convinced by its efforts to clean, light up and restore dignity to Abia.

She said she decided to support Otti’s second-term bid because she believed his administration’s policies aligned with her vision of a government that remembers the poor and promotes equity.

She called for legislation on “continuity and completion” to ensure that successive administrations continued projects inherited from previous governments.

BREAKING: After Historic Osun Victory, Adeleke Backs Tinubu for 2027 Re-Election

Published

BREAKING: After Historic Osun Victory, Adeleke Backs Tinubu for 2027 Re-Election—-Fresh from securing a second term as Osun governor under the Accord Party, Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Tinubu’s bid for another term in 2027.

Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke has reaffirmed his support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s bid for re-election in 2027, shortly after securing another four-year term as governor of the state.

Adeleke made the declaration in his victory speech following his successful re-election in the August 15 governorship election, where he contested under the Accord Party after leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor’s renewed endorsement of Tinubu adds another significant dimension to his remarkable political journey. Adeleke won his first term as governor in 2022 on the PDP platform but subsequently moved to Accord ahead of the 2026 election, successfully defending his seat as an incumbent under his new party.

Adeleke Praises Tinubu After Election Victory

In his post-election remarks, Adeleke expressed appreciation to President Tinubu, who had called to congratulate him on his victory.

https://thecloudngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Imran_Muhammad_-_President_Tinubu_is_son_of_Osun_state_and_I_hereby_reaffirm_my_earlie_67ts5d.mp4?_=1

The Osun governor praised the President for what he described as his role in ensuring that democracy continued to thrive, while acknowledging Tinubu’s congratulatory gesture following the election.

Adeleke’s comments represent a notable development given the political rivalry and tensions that characterized the build-up to the Osun election.

Before the poll, the governor had repeatedly called on the Federal Government and security agencies to ensure a free, fair and peaceful election. His campaign also exchanged accusations with the APC over the conduct of the electoral process and the role of federal authorities.

Renewed Support for Tinubu’s 2027 Ambition

Adeleke’s endorsement of Tinubu for 2027 is not entirely new.

The governor had previously declared his support for Tinubu’s re-election campaign before the Osun governorship election. In June, while formally launching his Accord Party re-election campaign, Adeleke described his support for the President as “unshaken and total.”

He again reaffirmed that position after winning the Osun election, emphasizing his continued backing for the President’s second-term ambition. Vanguard and Punch both reported the governor’s renewed endorsement following his victory.

Adeleke also described Tinubu as a son of Osun, further highlighting the personal and political connection he says exists between the President and the state.

Adeleke’s Historic Political Switch

The endorsement comes just days after Adeleke achieved a major political feat by retaining the Osun governorship despite switching parties.

The governor was elected in 2022 as a PDP candidate but later abandoned the party following a prolonged internal crisis. He subsequently joined Accord and secured the party’s ticket to contest the 2026 election.

His decision created considerable political uncertainty because he was defending his position as an incumbent governor without the PDP structure that had originally brought him to power.

Adeleke ultimately overcame the challenge, winning another term under Accord and strengthening his position as one of the country’s most prominent politicians outside the traditional major-party platforms.

Tinubu Congratulates Adeleke

President Tinubu has also congratulated Adeleke on his re-election, describing the result as a reflection of the will of the people.

The President said the outcome demonstrated that democracy continues to flourish in Nigeria and urged the governor to use his renewed mandate to serve the people of Osun State.

The development creates an interesting political dynamic ahead of 2027, with Adeleke now firmly positioned as an Accord governor who is publicly supporting the incumbent President’s re-election bid.

For Adeleke, the immediate priority will be delivering on the mandate he has just received from Osun voters. But his decision to publicly back Tinubu also signals that his political calculations extend beyond the state and into the increasingly important national contest ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

After securing a historic second term under Accord, Adeleke has now turned his attention toward the next political battle — throwing his weight behind Tinubu’s bid to remain President beyond 2027.
