Okrika Chiefs Task Political Leaders On Accountability

The Chairman of

Okrika Divisional Council of Chiefs, Chief Nemi  Wisdom Adoki, has said that the council would henceforth ensure that all elected and appointed political office holders of Okrika ethnic nationality are now to account for their stewardship to the people.

Chief Adoki stated this while addressing a reception, shortly after the thanksgiving service by ODCC, at the St. Peters Anglican Church, in Okrika.

He explained that the decision was informed by  the unsavoury political situation in the Okrika Local  Government council.

“The Okrika Divisional Council of Chiefs would ensure that elected and appointed political office holders give account of their stewardship to the entire Okrika people, this will help to check the non-challant attitude of our politicians,”  Chief Adoki said.

The ODCC boss revealed that the present executive   would activate  the Wakirike National Congress (WNC) and also organise Okrika Week where notable sons and daughters of Okrika kingdom would be  honoured.

Chief Adoki thanked God for the successful thanksgiving service for a new executive for the chiefs council, saying, the election ended peacefully.

Speaking earlier, the chairman of the occasion, and commissioner in the Local Government Service Commission, Chief Jonah Tamuno advised the newly  elected  executive to identify the problems  in the council and set-up a formidable committee to resolve all the differences.

“I am not in doubt that the elected executive of ODCC has all the  potentials to pilot the affairs of the Chiefs Council and unite all the aggrieved parties” Chief Tamuno said.

In his speech, Acting Chairman of the Okrika Council vowed to ensure unity and peace in the LGA under his watch.

The guest preacher, Revd Canon Precious Amadi had in his sermon during the service urged leaders to have the fear of God and serve humanity with dedication and good conscience.
