KING OPOROMO'S APPOINTMENT: AN EFFORT TO RUBBISH AND DIMINISH HIM AND THE KEREBIRI-MEIN KINGDOM-By: Fun-ororo Narebor
The Bayelsa State Governor, His Excellency Sen. Douye Diri in nominating the traditional ruler of Kerebiri-Mein Kingdom as a commissioner in the nomenclature of Chief Godspower Oporomo is derogatory and a calculated attempt to rubbish and diminish our traditional kingdom and king.
This appointment is not only shameful but also a clear sabotaging of the greater interests of Kerebiri-Mein Kingdom. Would our King now bow before the members of the House of Assembly in the screening? If yes, then the whole Kerebiri-Mein Kingdom would be subjected to the loyalty of members of the Bayelsa State House of Assembly. What an irony?
I wish to advise the nominee, HRM Godspower Oporomo, who is well known for his integrity and royal tendencies, to reject and/or recommend a capable person to the Governor for such appointment.
We cannot allow our kingdom to be ridiculed because of a mere commissioner appointment. No sentiment attached. This is my personal opinion though.
