Olorogun Dr. Ebenezer Okorodudu, Executive Director (Projects) of DESOPADEC, has reaffirmed his commitment to the development of the Olomu kingdom following a recent visit to the Oghoro Ruling House, where he received the ” Leadership Icon Award”.
Chief Dr. Okorodudu, the Omuoghor of Olumu Kingdom, expressed gratitude for his recognition and commitment to serving his community. He thanked His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, the Executive Governor of Delta State, for his appointment to the DESOPADEC Board. Dr. Okorodudu urged the Olomu people to support Governor Oborevwori in the 2027 elections, highlighting the need for unity.
In his speech, he emphasized the importance of unity within the Ogoro ruling house, assuring that internal disagreements would be resolved amicably. He stated, “We may have our problems, but they will be resolved internally,” urging everyone to focus on what unites them rather than promoting disunity. A united family is essential for peace and development.
He stated his commitment to doing his best for the people of Olomu Kingdom and the oil-producing communities in Delta State. He announced that several projects are currently being planned for Olomu and that the ongoing projects in the area will be completed.
The Oghoro ruling house is known for its rich cultural heritage and is made up of seven distinct communities, which include the Aloba Community, Ovwor Community, Okpare Community, Umolo Community, Ovwodokpokpo Community, Agbazo Community and Ogoni-Olomu Community.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Imoghoro Ruling House, Olorogun Johnson Ukpeibo (IP), expressed profound gratitude to His Excellency, Elder Sheriff Oborevwori, the Governor of Delta State, for his magnanimity in appointing an Olomu son (Okorodudu) to replace the late Hon. Taleb Tebite, who passed on last year.
He further lauded Dr. Okorodudu’s leadership qualities, stating, “You have handled government positions in the past with excellence, making both your principal and our people proud. You have listening ears and you distinguished yourself as a true ambassador of the Imoghoros and the Olomu people.”, Olorogun Ukpeibo said.
