Okene Shut Down As Kogi Gov-elect Visits Ohinoyi Of Ebiraland-vanguard by politricks: 7:46pm On Dec 06, 2015
By Kingsley Fanwo
The visit of Alh. Yahaya Adoza
Bello, Kogi State Governor-Elect,
today, to the Ohinoyi of
Ebiraland, today caused a
momentary pause in the life of the city as thousands of
residents trooped out to the
streets to welcome and
celebrate their hero. Yahaya
Bello hails from Agassa in Okene.
What was meant to be a quiet visit to the palace of the
respected royal head of the
Ebira nation, was hijacked by the
people to welcome back home
the man whom they described as
a “jinx breaker”. Residents of the ancient City ,
having got wind of Yahaya
Bello’s visit, went to the Federal
College of Education, Okene
entrance of the city to escort
Yahaya Bello to the palace. ..thousands troop out to
welcome their hero Thousands of jubilant Okada
risers, taxi operators and
market women came out in their
numbers to celebrate the man
to become the first non-Igala to
rule Kogi State since the creation of the state in 1991. The jubilant crowd were heard
chanting “Adoza, the glory of
Ebiraland” in their local language.
It took almost an hour for the
convoy of the Governor-Elect to
navigate through the crowd to the palace of the Ohinoyi. At the palace, thousands of
people were already waiting to
receive the Yahaya Bello as the
crowd overpowered the
magnificent palace.
The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr. Ado Ibrahim urged Yahaya Bello to
make the Ebira nation proud by
being a good governor. He said
the entire Ebira nation was
behind him. Responding, Alh. Yahaya Bello
thanked the royal father for his
royal blessing, saying his
emergence is a blessing to his
throne. He promised to use his
position to project the quality of Ebira people to the world. It was drumming and dancing
galore round the Okene
metropolis as masquerades were
brought out to celebrate the
divine victory of their kinsman,
Alh. Yahaya Bello.
