Former governor of Delta State, Chief James Ibori, has appealed to Governor Ifeanyi Okowa to construct the access road in his community.
The road leads to the new Oghara ultra modern palace in Ethiope West local government area.
The former governor, an indigene of Oghara Kingdom, also appealed to friends of Delta and sons and daughters of the kingdom to support the ongoing construction work in the ultra modern building project.
Ibori made the plea at the 10th coronation anniversary of the Ovie of Oghara Kingdom, HRM Noble Eshemitan, Uku Oghara Na’ me, Orefe 111 in Oghara.
He said; “Let me make a direct plea to my younger brother and our amiable governor, Dr. Okowa ,to help us look at the access road to this new palace. It is almost impossible for an individual to take it on. I appeal to the governor to assist us to look at the road. We are eternally grateful.”
Chief Ibori added, “I was born and bred in this community. I urge the indigenes within and in the diaspora to join hand with me. I know that you have your various challenges, please make this project a priority. We need to do it for our traditional ruler and our kingdom.”
Also speaking, the chairman of Ethiope West local government council, Mr Nelson Owoso, urged the people to support the project by way of donation to ensure successful completion the edifice.
The Ovie of Oghara, HRM Eshemitan, said his 10 years on the throne had been cheerful but with some challenges, adding that the aged-long friction between the Oghara monarch and Oghara council of chiefs had reduced substantially since he ascended the royal stool.
