The Uwanno Kingdom has celebrated the peaceful and transparent selection of Senator Francis Alimikhena as its new Okumagbe-Elect.
However, the Etsako Local Government Council had attempted to disrupt the process with a misleading interpretation of a court summons, which was wrongly presented as a court injunction.
This move has raised serious questions about the council’s motives, particularly given its absence as a party to the suit.
Some forces had moved in vain to push for the emergence of Frank Omoh as the Okumagbe-Elect.
Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, has consistently demonstrated his commitment to upholding the rule of law and due process.
His leadership has ensured that the king selection process was conducted in a fair and transparent manner, culminating in the emergence of Senator Alimikhena as the Okumagbe-Elect.
The acting Chairman of the Etsako Local Government Council’s attempt to undermine the system from which he benefits while seeking election within that same system is troubling.
THE CONCLAVE reports that it is essential to hold leaders accountable for their actions and ensure that they do not prioritise personal interests over the welfare of the people.
