Ohinoyi of Ebiraland in trouble for failing to welcome Buhari

The paramount traditional ruler and Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Ado Ibrahim, has been served a query for failing to welcome President Muhammadu Buhari to Kogi State.

Buhari was in the state on December 29, 2022, to inaugurate some projects including the palace of the Ohinoyi built by Governor Yahaya Bello.

The president was received by top government officials and foremost traditional rulers but the Vice President of the Kogi State council of chiefs was absent.

In a letter to the prominent monarch signed by Enimola Eniola, Director of Chieftaincy Affairs, the monarch was accused of exhibiting deliberate attitude and actions capable of bringing “Kogi State and Ebiraland in particular to grave disrepute”.

The monarch was also given 48 hours to explain why he should not be punished for disloyalty and insubordination.
