The Ojie designate of Sabogida Ora in Edo State, Chief Joshua Unuigboje-Aisuku, has dispelled rumours trending on social media that he did not confer any Chieftaincy title on the APC candidate for the 2020 Edo State Governorship election.
The Ojie designate while addressing a press conference in Benin City disclosed that being the paramount traditional ruler in Ore, it was the duty of the Ojie to so invest or confer Chieftaincy title on whoever is so recommended.
Chief Unuigboje-Aisuku, who is also the Arah of Evbiobe Sabogida Ora, further disclosed that the purported installation was carried out by one Chief Joshua Ikhidero with the support of another John Akhihiero who had no such powers to so do.
The Ojie designate stated that on the 27th of August 2020, there was an enlarged meeting of the community elders in his house when the convoy of the APC candidate drove passed his house to that of Chief Joshua Ikhidero where they went for the purported installation.
He stressed that there is an existing Gazette to the installation of any person as a Chief in Ora land, emphasizing that the purported installation of the APC candidate, Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu was a scam.
