The president-general of Evwreni Clan Improvement Union (ECIU), Mr. Bright Adjogbe has inaugurated the Ogor branch of the union amidst cheers and celebration.
The event which took place at Ovwodokpokpor-Ogor community in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State brought together the national executive of the union, the newly elected executive of the new Ogor branch, representatives of the Evwreni traditional council and others.
In his remarks, president of the new Ogor branch, who is also a member of the royal house in Evwreni, Prince Matthew Uba, urged Evwreni people to be more united in efforts to make the new ECIU branch stronger and better able to achieve the objectives for establishing it.
He also solicited for their support in order to overcome the challenges Evwreni kingdom is presently passing through as a result of internal crisis, while urging the president-general of the kingdom to always carry them along as a branch in the course of his administration.
In a speech before the inauguration of the new branch, the president-general, Mr. Bright Adjogbe, who was highly elated at the occasion, thanked the executive members of the new Ogor branch for having the courage to apply for inauguration despite the fact that many of their branch members were “victims of internal crisis back home.”
“I’m the happiest man today as we have added another feather to our cap. I want to announce to you that, this Ogor branch is the 17th branch of the ECIU worldwide. Again, I want to really thank you all for your courage and strength to come out, even in this critical condition we found ourselves as a result of internal crisis back at home. This bold step will definitely yield positive results very soon.
“I want to plead with you to be more united than ever before so that the new branch will become stronger. Therefore, by the powers vested on me as the president-general of Evwreni Clan Improvement Union, I hereby inaugurate the Ogor branch and executive members of the union,” he said.
Presenting a goodwill message in the occasion, the ‘Otota’Rode’ of Evwreni kingdom, High Chief Hon. Felix Ayovwe, who represented by the Evwreni traditional council, enjoined the members to show love to one another and also to be more committed in attending monthly meetings.
He further prayed for Hon. Fidelis Adjogbe, an APC aspirant for the Ughelli North Constituency 1 in the Delta State House of Assembly, who is also the vice president of the new Ogor branch.
Among the new branch executive members inaugurated to run the affairs of the new Ogor branch were Prince Matthew Uba as president, Hon. Fidelis Adjogbe (vice president), Hon. Desmond Okpako (secretary), Come. Joseph Wine (assistant secretary), Mrs. Evelyn Obahor (treasurer), Oremu Wonder (auditor), Okpako (welfare officer), Prince Famous Amrophe (financial secretary), Mr. Victor Oviomote (organizing secretary) and Mr. Moses Aki (PRO).
The event ended with the presentation of the ECIU Constitution to the new president of the branch, Prince Matthew Uba by the president-general of the union, Mr. Bright Adjogbe. Others who accompanied the president-general to the inauguration ceremony were Mr. Joseph Ighorodje, secretary-general of ECIU and Mr. Michael Akporudju.
