A statement issued on behalf of the group in Idah by the spokesman, Abdulkarim Zekeli warned some family members of the Royal stool, for dragging the process of ascension to the prestigious Igala stool to public domain, and on the pages of online medium.
He expressed confidence in the state government not to be hoodwinked by some self seeking individuals, whose intentions is to scuttle the process of ascension against the lay down procedures.
According to the release, the position of Prince Opaluwa Okoliko is clearly against the lay down procedures,as no decision was arrived selecting him as the next Attah of Igala.
‘As it currently stands, the Ajuameachor whose turn it is to present the next Attah have selected Prince Samuel Opaluwa as its candidate, in line with extant laws and provisions of the laws on chieftancy of Kogi State.’
“The Ajuameachor has further presented Prince Samuel Opaluwa to the Etemahi and other Kingmakers.’
‘Okoliko Opaluwa Oguche was scolded on Monday for spewing false hood againt his family and tbe four ruling houses for spuriously claiming that he has been endorsed by the Kingmakers.
Yusuf kindly add above to your write up.’ He said.
