Kogi 2019 is definitely going to be an interesting one full of surprises and twists. Remember, we reported about the G-Wagons that Gov. Yahaya Bello is rolling out for campaigns. This time around, Igala sons and daughters decided to do something unique for their monarch, by buying the Igala king a 160-million naira Royal White sparkling Rolls Royce Phantom.
According to reports, Igala Sons in Governor Bello’s Government led by the 45year old Deputy Governor Of Kogi State, His Excellency Chief Edward Unekwuojo Onoja (CIK), Senator Jibrin Isah Echocho, APC members of the National and the State Assemblies from Kogi East, Hon. Commissioners and Special Advisers have gifted the traditional ruler with Royal White sparkling Rolls Royce Phantom.
Speaking at the presentation yesterday, the Deputy Governor who holds the traditional title of Olimene of Attah said, “HRM Attah Igala as King Of the 9th Largest Ethnic Nationality in Nigeria is the face of the Igala nation and his appearance must show class, royalty and purity. We give thanks to Governor Yahaya Bello who lifted a lot of progressive-minded and passionate leaders in just a few years.”
Senator Jibrin Isah in his remark commended the young but vibrant Deputy Governor for believing in the land of his birth and placing the people first. “A new Igala land has emerged. This is the same way we jointly built The “Unyi Udama Amo ma Igala”( Igala Unity House) under the able leadership of His Excellency, Chief Edward Onoja and we are set to complete two guest houses at Ayingba- Dekina And Ankpa for the exclusive use of our royal father the Attah Igala. We are not Billionaires but united lovers of their kingdom.”
