Embattled Chairman of Ifiekporo Community Trust in Warri South local government, Prince Charles Omadeli says the claim by treasurer to Warri South West local government council, Mr. Monday Agbeyi that he is the new chairman of Ifiekporo is a deliberate ploy by agents of Delta State government to victimize him as a result of his political stance.
Prince Omadeli accused “the government of Delta State headed by Dr.Emmanuel Uduaghan, his agents including some Chiefs to the Olu of Warri” of“incessantly” provoking his leadership to act irrationally.
In a statement made available to selected newsmen in Warri, Prince Omadeli averred that the Special Project Director of Trans Warri Ode-Itsekiri bridges and access roads, Chief Otimeyin Adams “stopped all benefits due us as executive for almost five months” and “completely ignored the Olu’s mandate letter directing Setraco to be having dealings” with his leadership.
The statement further claimed that Chief Adams ordered “Monday Agbeyi and his cohorts to complain to the Office of the Special Assistant to the Governor on Community Affairs to invite all companies operating within Ifiekporo Community with a view to ensuring that he uses the government to up-turn the palace order”.
Omadeli queried the rationale behind Monday Agbeyi’s letter appealing to governor Uduaghan’s SSA on Community Affairs for recognition when he has already gone to court to challenge his leadership and the “mandate for community leadership in Warri Kingdom is the prerogative of the Olu of Warri”.
He described the letter dated November 23, 2012 as “laughable and inconsequential” considering its authority which is based on a mere newspaper advertorial which lacks the Olu’s mandate.
Omadeli wondered if Monday Agbeyi and his “purported executive” have forgotten so soon how the Warri monarch drove him out of his palace in anger.
He vowed to carry on with them and ate given to his leadership by the Olu, adding that all the campaign against his executive “are deliberate acts to cover the land deals in Ifiekporo community, as majority of the people in Uduaghan administration acquired land(s)at Ifie and the fear of losing it is eminent hence this struggle”.
