CLARION CALL FOR SENATE 2027 AS CHIEF JOSEPH AMEH ERICO CELEBRATES EASTER WITH HIS DISTRICT, ASSURES OF MORE DEVELOPMENT

 


The people of Etutekpe–Okpo in Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State witnessed a massive turnout of dignitaries and supporters cutting across party lines, as their illustrious son and renowned philanthropist, Hon. Chief Joseph Ameh Erico, hosted Kogi East Senatorial District and other stakeholders within the state for the Easter celebration.


The event, which attracted thousands, became a rallying point for appreciation, unity, and a growing clarion call for Chief Erico to represent Kogi East at the Senate in 2027.


Speaking at the occasion, a former All Progressives Congress (APC) Zonal Chairman for Kogi East, Hon. Muhammed Nasir Alfa, commended Chief Erico’s longstanding contributions to societal development. He noted that even before venturing into politics, Chief Erico had distinguished himself through impactful projects such as rural electrification, water schemes, youth and women empowerment initiatives, stipends for the elderly, and the construction of mosques and churches.


Hon. Alfa declared his unwavering readiness, alongside his supporters, to follow any political direction Chief Erico may choose as the 2027 general elections approach. He emphasized that the time has come to elect representatives who understand the true value and impact of public office, describing Chief Erico as eminently qualified for such responsibility.


Also present at the event was the current APC Zonal Chairman for Kogi East, Hon. Ogwu Alhassan, who expressed delight in celebrating Easter with a personality he described as distinguished and impactful. He highlighted Chief Erico’s role in strengthening security in the area and affirmed his pride in being associated with him.


Various speakers at the gathering echoed similar sentiments, applauding Chief Erico’s achievements and expressing their willingness to identify with and support his future political aspirations.


In a significant moment, the Paramount Ruler of Abache, His Royal Highness Alhaji Ahmed Muhammed—who also serves as Special Adviser to the Kogi State Governor on Security (Ankpa Federal Constituency)—led a delegation of traditional rulers and community leaders to pay homage.


In his address, HRH Ahmed Muhammed praised Chief Erico’s contributions to security, youth and women empowerment, and overall community development. He announced that the Abache Traditional Council had approved the conferment of a prestigious chieftaincy title, “Amana Onu Megwa” with the salutation “Aboh!!!”, in recognition of his humility, service to God, and dedication to humanity.


Responding, Chief Erico expressed deep appreciation to the traditional council for the honour and pledged to continue contributing positively to the development of his community and the entire Igala Kingdom. He reaffirmed his commitment to supporting the palace and serving his people with renewed dedication.


Chief Erico also thanked all guests who travelled from far and near to celebrate with him, noting that words were insufficient to express his gratitude. He specifically appreciated APC leaders including Hon. Ogwu Alhassan, Hon. Muhammed Nasir Alfa, Hon. Yunusa Gabriel Olofu including FANWAS group from Kogi East and other party stakeholders.


In another development, the Area Commander of Ankpa, Mr. I.J. Manman, was present for the official introduction of a new security outfit sponsored by Chief Erico and approved by the Kogi State Commissioner of Police. During inspection, the Divisional Police Officer of Imane Division confirmed that the operatives had undergone necessary training to complement existing security structures in tackling insecurity.


Chief Erico disclosed that all logistics, including gadgets, uniforms, and operational materials, were fully provided by his company. He further directed continuous collaboration with the police to ensure the welfare and effectiveness of the personnel.


Observers noted that several groups and associations have intensified calls for Chief Erico to contest the Kogi East Senatorial seat in 2027. However, he is yet to make an official declaration, leaving room for heightened anticipation as the election season approaches.


The highlight of the event was the donation of two million naira to the Abache Traditional Council and women groups present, alongside colorful cultural displays showcasing the rich heritage of the Igala people of Etutekpe–Okpo.

Part 2: The Battle For The Throne of Ata Igala and The Claims of Prince Ocholi Idakwo Ameh Oboni III  It is worth our information that, the Kogi State High Court sitting in Lokoja had earlier in a judgement delivered by Hon. Justice M.E Umar on February 13th, 2024, dismissed the case for lacking in merit.  However, the plaintiff, Prince Ocholi Idakwo Ameh Oboni III is insisting that the crux of the redress he seeks which lies in the Chieftaincy declaration partaning to the appointment/ascension to the throne of Ata Igala was yet to be answered. And that the closest the Hon. Justice came to doing that was when he held in his judgement thus:  "the legal notice No 2 of 2015 is not a new chieftaincy declaration."  If the above holds true of the said 2015 legal notice, what then was the legal and tradit...
