On the alleged suspension of some chiefs of Idjerhe Central Oguedion, the council described the move as null and void, insisting that the process was unconstitutional, lacked merit, and should be disregarded by the public.
Honourable Blessing Achoja, who attended the press conference, commended the unity of the chiefs and their support for Governor Oborevwori’s administration. He also emphasised the governor’s commitment to the development of Idjerhe and advised the traditional leaders to maintain a clear distinction between politics and traditional authority for effective governance.
Achoja further announced the donation of a 500KVA transformer by Hon. Erhiatake Ibori-Suenu, member representing Ethiope Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, to address electricity challenges in the area.
The event, which was attended by over sixty chiefs, reaffirmed Idjerhe Kingdom’s peaceful and united stance, with the traditional council stressing that peace remains the foundation for sustainable progress in line with the values upheld by both Governor Oborevwori and the Oguedion.
