Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, has extended warm felicitations to the Asagba of Asaba, His Royal Majesty, Obi Prof. Epiphany Azinge, SAN, OON, on the occasion of his first coronation anniversary.
In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, Governor Oborevwori commended the monarch for his unwavering commitment to peace, unity, and the preservation of Asaba’s rich cultural heritage.
The governor described Obi Azinge as a revered traditional ruler and distinguished academic whose leadership over the past year has strengthened traditional institutions and rekindled pride among the people of Asaba.
“On behalf of the Government and people of Delta State, I warmly congratulate Your Majesty, Obi Prof. Epiphany Azinge, SAN, OON, the Asagba of Asaba, on the joyous celebration of your first coronation anniversary,” Oborevwori said.
“Your reign has already demonstrated a deep commitment to the values of peace, inclusiveness, and development. As an accomplished academic and respected traditional ruler, you have brought honour not only to the Asaba Kingdom but also to the entire Delta State,” he added.
Governor Oborevwori reaffirmed his administration’s continuous support for traditional institutions and assured the Asagba of the state government’s partnership in advancing the interests of the Asaba people.
He prayed for the monarch’s long life, wisdom, and a peaceful, prosperous reign.
Obi Prof. Azinge ascended the throne in 2024, succeeding the late Obi Prof. Chike Edozien, and has since been widely celebrated for his efforts in promoting peace, cultural preservation, and community development across the Asaba Kingdom.
