AGBOR (Ika Weekly) – The people of Ika South have been urged to give maximum support to the Hon. Commissioner for Women Affairs and Community Development, Queen Victoria Ikenchukwu.
The appeal was made by Hon. (Dr.) Cairo Ojougboh, immediate past Chairman, Petroleum Resources Committee at the Federal House of Representatives, Abuja, at the reception held in honour of the Queen Mother on Friday at the Agbor Community Hall, Agbor.
Dr. Ojougboh stated that the only way for the Commissioner to make great impact and attract greater democracy dividends to Ika South is when the people extend their support to her. He emphasized the need for all to focus more on the things ahead rather than brooding over past events that will not help the Local Government.
He called on the people to see the Queen Mother’s appointment as an achievement for Ika South; saying that those opposing it are doing so for selfish reasons. He noted that Governor Uduaghan has done well for Ika South by choosing the person of the Ojeba. He thanked His Excellency for liberating Ika South with the appointment and noted that there are better days ahead.
Dr. Ojougboh called on every Agbor person to learn to respect the Agbor traditional institution as personified by His Royal Majesty, Keagborekuzi 1, Dein of Agbor Kingdom.
