All road leads to Ofougbene today, the host town to the 30th Coronation Anniversary of His Royal Majesty, Bosu Dio (JP), the Pere of Iduwini Kingdom, Delta, as earlier announced by the Iduwini Traditional Council of Chiefs.
Confirming this information to IduwiniVoice Newspapers Worldwide yesterday, August 5th, the Iduwini Delta Traditional Council of Chiefs said all is now set for the big day today being August 6, 2023.
The Organising Committee also announced that free transportation is available at New Man Jetty, Millar Waterfront, NPA, Warri, while free feeding, drinks and accommodations are all set at the venue.
Guests should look forward to being thrilled to fascinating historical perspectives, elegant traditional rights, and Ijaw traditional and highlife music by a combo of Chief Kingsley Takemebo and Jking (Dr.) Alfred Ezonebi.
IduwiniVoice recall that King Bosu Dio (JP), Ayamabulou 1, the paramount ruler of Iduwini Kingdom in Delta State, Burutu Local Government Area, ascended the great Iduwini Throne as a king of the ancient Iduwini Kingdom of the (defunct Bendel State) now Delta State on August 6th 1993, making August 6th 2023 exactly 30 years of his blissful reign of the Iduwini land in Delta State.
The First Class King, Ayamabulou ranks amongst the oldest in Ijaw land and of course across Delta State, as the age of the revered Iduwini throne dates back to precolonial antiquity.
However, flood of encomiums have since been pouring in from amongst Iduwini patriots and beyond, lauding Ayamabulou on his 30 years of blissful and peaceful reign on the throne, adding that the people of Iduwini Kingdom in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State have made profound progress within his reign, wishing the King a long life, prosperity and Wisdom.
