The Governor of Kogi State, Alhaji Yahaha Bello, on Friday, installed the 28th Attah Igala, HRM Mathew Alaji Opaluwa Oguche in Idah with a call on him to unite\u00a0the\u00a0Igala Kingdom toward ensuring socio economic development of\u00a0the\u00a0kingdom and the country at large.<\/p>\n
Our Correspondent reports that the\u00a0new Attah was administered the oath of office and allegiance at exactly 1:12p.m by Barr. Dangana Ocheja in\u00a0the\u00a0full glare of thousands of onlookers from within and outside\u00a0the\u00a0state.<\/p>\n
Gov. Bello, who congratulated\u00a0 the\u00a0new Attah Igala, described his peaceful emergence as his administration\u2019s determination to uphold equity, justice and in following due process and\u00a0the\u00a0rule of law.<\/p>\n
Bello, who expressed satisfaction that his administration had graded and upgraded over 100 chieftaincy stools, added that none of such upgrade witnessed rancour, a development, he noted, hinged on the leadership and\u00a0political\u00a0will of his administration.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Governor described\u00a0the\u00a0era of imposing traditional rulers on\u00a0the\u00a0people as a thing of\u00a0the\u00a0past and expressed satisfaction that\u00a0the\u00a0mammoth crowd that graced\u00a0the\u00a0occasion was a measure of the Attah’s acceptance.<\/p>\n
He described\u00a0the\u00a0emergence of\u00a0the\u00a0Attah as historic and, urged\u00a0the\u00a0royal father to reach out to those who contested with him and extend his hands of fellowship and warned against\u00a0the\u00a0politicisation of\u00a0the Igala stool.<\/p>\n
The\u00a0Governor reiterated his administration\u2019s commitment towards\u00a0the\u00a0welfare of members of\u00a0traditional institution in\u00a0the\u00a0state.<\/p>\n
Bello paid glowing tribute to\u00a0the\u00a0immediate past Attah, late Chief Michael Idakwo, describing him as a man passionate about peace and development.<\/p>\n
In his response, the new traditional ruler promised to use\u00a0his throne in galvarnising\u00a0 the\u00a0people for socio-economic development of the kingdom and the\u00a0country at large.<\/p>\n
