The
Descendants of Ogondi , founder of Jamagie Community in Egbema have
punctured the spurious claim of one Mr. Akin German who is
surreptitiously laying claim to the title of Pere Koriwei
of
Egbema kingdom. The Ogondi Descendants in the same communique also asserted
collectively and unequivocally that' HRM Barr Napoleon Egin Bini
Pere 1V as the authentic Agadagba of Egbema Kingdom.
The
Ogondi Descendants without any iota of doubt stated clearly and
firmly that Chief Simeon Ebidouwei David lgbedikuru (JP) from Ogondi
quarter of Jamagie in line with the Chieftaincy gazette is the Pere
Koriwei of Egbema kingdom but not Mr Akin German who have no
hereditary or any right to the title of Pere Koriwei because the kekewei
quarter which Akin German hails from, met the Ogondi Descendants who
are the founders of Jamagie Community adding that if the title is
actually hereditary as he claimed, then only the Ogondi Descendants
can unilaterally lay claim to it, but they have not done that
because they have respect and honor for the ancient history and tradition
of Egbema kingdom.
The
Ogondi Descendants affirmed that the title of Pere Koriwei is the exclusive
right of Jamagie Community in Egbema kingdom traditionally from our
history conferred on a designated person selected by the whole community
and endorsed by the Amakosuowei ( the eldest Man ) of Jamagie Community who in
turn recommends the designated candidate to the Agadagba of Egbema kingdom
for confirmation as Pere Koriwei of the kingdom inline with Egbema kingdom
chieftaincy gazette.
Mr.
Sunday Sagbene, the Chairman of Ogondi Descendents who spoke made the
facts clear saying: ‘’Jamagie community, founded by Ogondi
have three quarters namely b Ogondi quarter, Amabenemor quarter
and Kekewei quarters of the 3 Kekewi quarters is the youngest and
the last to come and settle in Jamagie community .
Mr.
Sunday Sagbene further disclosed saying : " Our gazetted Pere
Koriwei of Egberma Kingdom is Chief Simeon Ebidouwei David lgbedikuru
(JP) and we want all relevant agencies of Government and the general
public to know for record purpose that Mr Akin German is not the Pere
Koriwei of Egbema kingdom , and he lacks jurisdiction and locus standi to
lay claim to the tittle the way and manner he is doing now , which is
sacrilegious to the custom and tradition of Egbema kingdom.
Mr
Sunday Sagbene, the Chairman of the Ogondi Descendants explained that the
tittle of Pere Koriwei is owned and controlled by the entire
Jamagie Community which is given in trust to one person at a time in line
with the laid down rules and procedures and our Pere Koriwei who passed
through due diligence and the laid down procedures of becoming Pere
Koriwei with official Government endorsement and dully certified is
Chief Simeon Ebidouwei lgbedikuru (JP)
Mr
Sunday Sagbene the Mouth Piece of the Ogondi Descendants emphasized that
Mr Akin German or any other person who is parading himself as Pere Koriwei of
Egbema kingdom is an impostor , and he should be made to face the music
by the appropriate quarters for disparaging such a highly covetted
office of the Egbema kingdom.
Speaking
further Mr Sagbene said :
"
It is true that Late Chief Boye German the father of Akin German
was one time Pere Koriwei of Egbema kingdom but that does not translate to mean
that the son Akin German is also Pere Koriwei any perception of that manner is
an aberration because the post of Pete Koriwei is not hereditary."
Mr
Sagbene emphasized that people should understand that the tittle is for the
community not for one quarter, noting that Ogondi is the founder of
Jamagie community if anyone have intrest or issues about this tittle should
wait after chief Simeon Igbedikuru who is from Ogondi quarter is through with
his reign before any one can aspire to become Pete koriwei not this time when
he is still alife because this tittle is not for politics nether for
family affairs, we don't have this tittle for two persons but for only one
person. After Chief Boy German we have chief simeon Igbedikuru as next
perekoriwei of Egbema Kingdom he said.
In
summation Mr Sagbene said : " l wish to reiterate that
the general public should disregard the malicious claim of Mr Akin German and
point out the fact that Chief Simeon Ebidouwei David lgbedikuru (JP ) is the
authentic and only Pere Koriwei of Egbema kingdom
