The late Ohinoyi of Ebiraland

About 71 prominent sons and daughter of Ebiraland have indicated interest in becoming the next Ohinoyi of Ebiraland in Kogi State.
The stool became vacant as a result of the demise of the revered and flamboyant Ohinoyi of Ebiraland, Dr AbdulRahaman Ado Ibrahim, who died on October 29, 2023.
The Kogi State Government had on December 11, 2023 announced the commencement of the succession plan with fanfare.
On account of this development, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Deedat Ozigi, constituted and inaugurated the committee of king makers to commence the work of selection.
The committee was empowered to commence receiving and scrutinising application letters between December 11 and 15, 2023 from interested and eligible sons of Ebiraland as prescribed by the law of the succession of the throne.
A week after the official declaration, the secretary of the Ebira Traditional Council, Alhaji Yunusa Sule, said 71 sons and a daughter of the land had filed applications to contest the vacant stool.
