Former Governor of Delta State, Chief James Onanefe Ibori has appealed to the Delta State government to look into the construction of the road leading to the new palace of the Ovie of Oghara kingdom.
Chief Ibori made the appeal during the launching and fundraising for the completion of the ultra-modern palace as part of activities to celebrate the 10th year coronation anniversary of the Ovie of Oghara kingdom, His Royal Majesty, Noble Oyibo Eshemitan, Uku Oghara Na’me, Orefe 3.
It was a gathering of sons and daughters, friends and well-wishers of the Oghara Kingdom as well as dignitaries, traditional rulers, captains of industry and some top government functionaries to celebrate the 10th coronation anniversary of the royal father of the Oghara Kingdom and to raise fund for the completion of the ongoing ultra-modern palace.
The former Delta governor called on all to support the kingdom in achieving its vision of building and completing an ultra-modern palace for the king and the people of Oghara Kingdom.
Chairman of the occasion, Evangelist Johnbull Ejovi and Chief Launcher, Elder Dere Otubu commended Orefe the third for his astute leadership qualities and congratulated him for his ten years of peaceful reign in Oghara Kingdom and prayed God to grant him more years on the throne.
The Ovie of Oghara kingdom, Orefe 3, whose joy knew no bounds expressed gratitude to all who graced the occasion and prayed God’s Blessings on them for their support and goodwill messages.
The Oghara monarch who had earlier conferred honourary chieftaincy titles on some friends of the kingdom urged them to be worthy ambassadors of the kingdom.
Some invited guests commended the royal father for a peaceful reign over the past 10 years and prayed God to grant him more years on the ancestral stool.
The 10 years coronation anniversary which is a week-long celebration, kicked off with a novelty match between Oghara-efe and Oghara-eki Chiefs, a match past by different communities in the kingdom and will climax with an interdenominational thanksgiving service on Sunday, August 14, 2022.
