The presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu today visited Gbaramatu Kingdom in Warri
South-West Local Government Area of Delta State as the Pere of Gbaramatu
Kingdom, HRM Oboro Gbaraun II conferred on him the “Iyelawei” (a very important
person) title of Gbaramatu Kingdom.
The revered monarch also conferred on the Deputy Senate
President the Ibe-Ikiowei (one who knows the road) title.
Tinubun was received at the palace by the Pere of Gbaramatu
Kingdom, HRM Oboro Gbaraun II and a cross-section of traditional rulers in
Delta, Bayelsa, Cross Rivers, Rivers, Edo, Lagos and Anambra states in Oporoza
community.
The Pere of Gbaramatu Kingdom in a remark urged the Federal
Government to come closer to the people of Gbaramatu. He noted that the terrain
of the Gbaramatu Kingdom is very difficult and inaccessible.
He said if the Third Mainland Bridge in Lagos State could be
constructed to link all communities, a bridge should also be constructed in
Gbaramatu Kingdom to link its adjoining communities and even the third
mainland.
Our correspondent who was at the palace reports that the
Minister of State, Labour and Productivity, Mr Festus Keyamo also bagged the
title of Igoniniwei (the man that knows the way) while the title of
Itaremobowei (one who comes with love) was conferred on the governor of Yobe
State, Mai Malla Buni. Former Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt.Hon.
Dimeji Bankole bagged the Kuromobowei title(the man that comes with force).
In a remark, the APC presidential candidate thanked the
Gbaramatu monarch for the honour.
“It’s a great honour to stand before you today to receive a
title and come as a member of this community,” he said.
Tinubu reiterated that the Deputy Senate President, Sen.
Ovie Omo-Agege will be the next governor of Delta State.
While saluting the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom shortly after
receiving the title, Tinubu promised that he will always render services for
the progress and development of the kingdom.
According to him, the issues of roads, seaports, bridges,
and the full implementation of the Maritime University and industrial park will
be fully addressed if he becomes the next president of the country.
He said his administration will not be far away from the
people as he will consult with them for the development of the Kingdom and
other associated communities.
He added that he will provide employment for the teeming
youths with the support of God Almighty.
Tinubu also appealed to the people to vote massively for
him, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege and other APC candidates in the forthcoming 2023
general elections.
Earlier in a remark, the Deputy Senate President, Sen. Ovie
Omo-Agege promised that he will vigorously pursue with the incoming president
the construction of a bridge linking Gbaramatu Kingdom and other just as he noted
the difficulty in accessing the area. While noting that it’s unfortunate that
the issues in the area have not been resolved, Sen. Omo-Agege promised that he
will work towards the full implementation of the Nigeria Maritime University,
NMU.
“We know what the challenges are,” he said, affirming that
they will tackle the legal framework as well as the funding of the institution
with NIMASA at the National Assembly amongst others.
Sen. Omo-Agege expressed dissatisfaction that despite the
contribution of the oil communities, there is nothing to show on ground in the
area, saying “we’ll be more judicious to the use of our resources.”
He urged the people to vote en masse for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed
Tinubu and all other candidates in the forthcoming election.
