The response to the query directed to the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr. Ado Ibrahim, has been rejected by the Kogi State Government.
The state government said the monarch wrongly ascribed an illegal title of Attah Ebira to himself.
The state government had queried for not joining other State functionaries to welcome President Muhammadu Buhari to Okene when the latter visited on December 29, 2022 to commision legacy projects executed by Governor Yahaya Bello.
The monarch responded days later, saying the State government did not communicate to him about the President’s visit to his domain and as well unfair to him by contents of the query issued to him.
On Monday, January 16, 2023 the State government through the State’s Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Barr. Salami Momodu Ozigi Deedat, addressed to the Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, faulted and rejected Ohinoyi’s reply to the query for not complying with the appropriate title of his stool as recognized by the Kogi State Chieftaincy Law 2006 and his letter of appointment.
