Hard-wearing former militant leader, Ateke Tom, has been corronated in a grandeur ceremony as the Amayanabo (King) of Okochiri in Okirika, Rivers state. He was earlier installed on Wednesday by Okrika and Ogu/Bolo Divisional Council Of Chiefs in his country home.

Governor Wike advised the newly crowned monarch against being used to disunite the people of Okrika town. In an address during the coronation of King Ateke Michael Tom (JP) at Okochiri town on Saturday, Governor Wike charged the traditional ruler to further establish himself as an agent of unity and progress. While congratulating the Traditional Ruler for his successful coronation as the King of Okochiri, Governor Wike lauded the people of the town for installing a traditional ruler who fought for them. The governor assured the people of Okrika Town that his administration will continue to deliver on projects in the area. He noted that the process for the recognition of the traditional ruler, which includes presentation of a certificate of recognition will be done at the appropriate time, Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor, Electronic Media said in a statement on Saturday. The governor said:”Let me on behalf of the Government and people of Rivers State congratulate King Ateke Michael Tom, Amanyanabo of Okochiri Kingdom. With what you have seen here today, it is a clear testimony that you are loved by your people. “That is why it is good for each and everyone of us to defend the interest of our people at any given time , so that your people will honour you at the appropriate time. Today, because of what you have done for this kingdom, the people have called you back home to come and be their new king. “I want to proclaim by the Special Grace of God and by the powers conferred on me as the Rivers State Governor, Government of Rivers State will recognise this Amanyanabo of Okochiri town. What that means is that we will invite you to Government House, so that we present to you certificate of recognition”. In his remarks, Former Minister of Transport and Chairman of the occasion, Dr. Abiye Precious Sekibo, commended Governor Wike for embarking on meaningful projects in Okochiri Town . He said the completion of critical projects in Okrika Town at large have consolidated the governor’s support base.

Ateke king?...Okrika people will not kill me. I wonder the premise on which Monarchs are chosen in some parts of the country. SMH!. Such position were given to noble men who lived and respected the laws of the land but in this case, a former gang leader who've killed innocent people for reasons best known to him, made a king. Kingship and chieftaincy titles have been watered-down to something anybody could acquire. It's very shameful!. 70 Likes 4 Shares |

O foolish Okochirians, who has bewitched you? Kings should be noble or of noble birth, and not people of obviously questionable character. 12 Likes 1 Share |
