By Joshua Adinoyi, Lokoja.
The reward of good men is often said to be in heaven but the reverse is the case, as the former Senior Special Assistant to Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello on Political Matters, representing Lokoja/Koton-Karfe Federal Constituency, Alhaji (Chief) Suleiman Abdulhameed Danjuma Gegu, has been reaping the reward of his good deeds here on earth.
Just a day after the Ohimege-Igu (Koton-Karfe) Kingdom, HRM. Alhaji Abdulrazak Sani Isa-Koto (Agaba Idu), bestowed a title on Danjuma Gegu as the Dan-Isan of Igu (Koton-Karfe) Kingdom, the Ohinoyi of Igbogo (Nyiwo), Mallam Abdulrahaman Salihu Gimba also found him worthy of another title as the ‘Marafah’ of Igbogo in Kogi Koton-Karfe Local Government Area.
Speaking with Newsmen after his conferment, Alhaji (Chief) Suleiman Abdulhameed Danjuma Gegu, said being conferred with a Chieftaincy title in his mother’s community was a great honor and expressed appreciation to the Ohinoyi of Igbogo (Nyiwo), Mallam Abdulrahaman Salihu Gimba, for finding him worthy.
“Today, 27th December, 2020 is another memorable day in my life as the Ohinoyi of Igbogo (Nyiwo) has counted me as one of those to be honored with a Chieftaincy title. I don’t know what else to say than to keep appreciating Almighty Allah for this rare privilege. I also commend everyone that contributed to the success of this event and its my prayer that Allah will reward them all bountifully”
He assured of his continuous contribution to the progress of Igbogo Community, stressing that there was need for sons/daughters of the Area in the diaspora to rally round the traditional ruler of the Community to see to the rapid development of the Area.
“This is my mother’s home town and even before this honor, I have been doing my best to see to the growth of this Community.
This title conferred on me is simply a call to do more. It is not enough to be bearing and answering the salutation of a title, its a call to service so, I promise to serve the people the more.
“I as well call on sons/daughters of this land whom God has blessed with resources, to also come home from their respective destinations to contribute their quota to the progress of this Area. Rome wasn’t built in a day but men built it. So, come let’s build together”.
The Marafah, who is a Phillantropist and successful business mogul also charged the people of the Area to sustain the existing peace as such will go a long way at attracting the needed rapid development.
The event featured the celebration of one year on throne of the Ohinoyi of Igbogo (Nyiwo), Mallam Abdulrahaman Salihu Gimba (Nyiwo), Music, conferment of Chieftaincy title on deserving individuals among others.
