OndoReporter | DIYA, Ijaw leader congratulate Gbaramatu monarch

Ijaw leader, Chief Beck Hitler, has
congratulated His Royal Majesty, Williams
Ogoba, Oboro Gbaruan III, the Pere of
Gbaramatu Kingdom, Delta State, on his
successful and peaceful coronation by the
kingmakers on Tuesday at Oporoza, Warri
South-West Local Government Area of the
state.

Also, Delta Ijaw Youth Assembly, DIYA, has
called on Gbaramatu subjects to support the
new Pere, saying that the new monarch has
ushered in a new dawn of peace and
development for the kingdom.

DIYA’s President, Ebimobowei Oguma, in a
statement through its Secretary, Gbaboyo
Wurus, said that the enthronement of a new
king in the oil rich Gbaramatu Kingdom at this
point in time showed the peaceful nature of
the people.

He called on the people to rally round their
new monarch and support him to foster peace
in their domain as that was the only way
development could be achieved in the entire
kingdom.

Pledging loyalty to the monarch, he urged the
people to honour the traditional stool as the
king symbolised the culture and tradition of
the people.

On his part, Hitler, a chief from Gbaramatu, in
a statement, yesterday, in Warri, also enjoined
the people of Gbaramatu Kingdom to remain
united and live in peace, just as he expressed
gratitude to God for giving Gbaramatu people
a new king, who is endowed with wisdom to
rule efficiently and effectively.

He said: “God, in His wisdom, has given the
people of Gbaramatu a new king who is a
symbol of peace, love and unity among the
people of Gbaramatu, no doubt his reign will
attract development to the kingdom.”

Hitler, however, noted that a king would rule
well when his subjects gives him the needed
support and cooperation, adding, “I am
optimistic that the new Gbaramatu monarch is
God sent and therefore, the monarch should be
supported by all sons and daughters of the
kingdom.”
