Mrs Oki, an indigene of Ogidi autonomous community of Ijumu local government area of Kogi State said the upgrade of Ologidi of Ogidi Kingdom by Governor Yahaya Bello will go along way contributing immensely to it’s economic, peace, stability and development.
The award winning female Tv presented in a statement issued on Wednesday and made available to Global Time Nigeria described the development as historic considering the significance, role and immensely contributions of the Kingdom offer to the Okun Nation and Kogi State as a while.
She also congratulate the sons and daughters of Ogidi home and abroad on the favour of God Almighty upon their land, assuring the first class ruler of her continue support and loyalty.
According to her, it is a welcome development and is long overdue, Ogidi being a historical entity that radiates strength because of the important role it played during the Nupe war.
“Ologidi is a father who loves his community. HRH has been supporting me and all his subjects with prayers and advice.” She said.
She used the medium to appreciate Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello for this timely gesture and prayed for the success of the Governor.
