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.”
