Bomadi gets new traditional ruler

A new traditional head (Amananaowei) has ascended the throne in Bomadi to pilot the affairs of the town’s traditional institution for the next 4 years, Our Bomadi Correspondent reports.

The new Amanrnanaowei of Bomadi Urban Federated Communities, High Chief Godspower Oporomo was sworn-in by the Amaokosuowei (eldest man) of Bomadi community, Pa. Bofede Komani at the palace of the Amaokosuowei in Bomadi after emerging un-opposed.

Administering the oath, the Amaokosuowei who is an octogenarian charged the new Amananaowei to put the interest of the community above personal interest and use the stool to foster mutual coexistence and sustain the existing peace in the community, adding, “the institution of Amananaowei should be used as a tool to promote the welfare of the people”.

Briefing journalists at his palace in Bomadi, the new Amananaowei assured his subjects of peaceful reign in his tenure as the head of the traditional stool, saying his emergence as new Amananaowei un-opposed reflects wide acceptability and the legitimacy his reign will enjoy from the people of Bomadi community.

The Amananaowei who revealed that his interest to become the Amananaowei was motivated by the desire to serve his people, added that he believes in Bomadi project and told the people that he will commit his resources to the service of the community. “I have contributed to the growth and development of Bomadi community in my capacity as an individual. Becoming the Amananaowei will strengthen me and spur me more to create an enabling environment for the people to realize their aspirations and yearnings”, the new Amananaowei stated.

Chief Oporomor who stated that the palace which has remained a unifying institution will be used as a vehicle to attract positive development to the people, whom he said will be at the centre of his policies, maintained that his palace chiefs will imbibe the ethics of rulership of traditional council to ensure separation of power between the Amananaowei council, the Olou congress, (the highest traditional law making organ) and the office of the community chairman to engender mutual respect in their functions to avoid friction.

According to him, “my reign will promote level playing ground for all to pursue their aspiration. I will ensure that what is due the people of Bomadi will be vigorously pursued to attain it. What belongs to another community, the people of Bomadi will not interfere” just as he assured other neighbouring traditional rulers of his cooperation to work in synergy to create harmonious neighbourliness between Bomadi and its neighbours.

He therefore called on all sons and daughters of the community to rally the throne as the point of unity in the community. The new Amananaowei further informed the gathering that he will run an open door policy that will embrace good ideas from the public to move the community forward.

 He allayed fears of insecurity, maintaining that, “Bomadi is peaceful and will continue to be peaceful.”
