PRESS RELEASE DATED 21/08/24
It has come to my attention that a Vanguard publication dated August 16th, 2024 attributed to Chiefs Matthew Tiemo and Bainmene Powei regarding the late Amb Meshack Ubabiri, whose tragic death occurred on January 14, 2024 has been made. Following my proclamation as the Agadagba of Egbema Kingdom on October 17, 2022, late Meshack Ubabiri and his supporters orchestrated my abduction from the royal palace. Subsequently, they installed Meshack as the Agadagba of Egbema with the collaboration of a few individuals and the former Deputy Governor of Delta State, Dcn Kingsley Otuaro. This shameful falsehood desecrated our traditions and ridiculed our kingmakers, compelling us to seek legal redress in the court of law.
Tragically, Meshack Ubabiri has met his untimely death, marking the sixth strange death in our kingdom since I was unjustly denied a peaceful ascension to our revered throne. Nobody has ever died in front of our diety in the history of our kingdom. It is sad enough that late Ubabiri made history in this regard. It is even more pathetic that his handlers continue to peddle lies and falsehoods to give a good impression of his false claim to the throne. While extending condolences to his family and others affected, it is imperative to clarify that the legitimate kingmakers never appointed Meshack Ubabiri, and he shall not be recognised in life or death as the Agadagba of Egbema Kingdom.
I have received information that a group of individuals led by Chief Matthew Tiemo is secretly planning to disrupt the current legal process by trying to establish a regency council to appoint someone else as king, regardless of the ongoing court proceedings. For the records, Chief Mathew Tiemo is not a chief of Egbema Kingdom. He has no traditional role to play with respect to the installation of a King in Egbema. Nobody or a group of persons can legitimately set up a regency council or install another king while the legal proceedings challenging the false claims of late Meshack Ubabriri and his sponsors are pending before a competent court of law.
Any attempt to continue in this falsehood planted by his sponsors will result in more tragedy in our kingdom. I am, therefore, calling on all men and women of goodwill from our dear kingdom to resist this falsehood and embrace truth and justice for the growth and development of our kingdom. Your support is crucial in this fight for justice. Anybody who offers himself in the manner that the late Meshack Ubabiri did should know that he is putting himself out for an adventure that is established on falsehood and injustice. Kings are not installed on faulty and false foundations. Utolu ruling house, like his brothers, will have a peaceful and lengthy rein and make meaningful contributions to the growth and development of our dear kingdom. We must all embrace the truth for the prosperity of our kingdom.
I urge the indigenes of Egbema and the general public to therefore disregard the false claims of Meshack Ubabiri's ascension to our ancient traditional stool. We are persisting in pursuing justice through the ongoing legal proceedings, which are crucial in rectifying the injustices perpetrated against the good people of Egbema Kingdom. Our determination to see this through is unwavering, and we call upon the government of Delta State to uphold the integrity of the legal process and disregard any plan to set up a regency council to override the current legal proceedings.
May we find the strength, courage and grace to uphold justice and restore the honour of Egbema Kingdom, and may this ordeal lead us to a brighter future.
God bless Egbema.
Barr. N. S. Egin,
The Agadagba elect of Egbema Kingdom.
Rightful heir to Egbema traditional stool.
