Secretary General of Okpe Union Worldwide, Mr. Henry Ebireri on Monday urged the indigenes of Okpe to embrace spirituality, peace and healthy living.
In a New Year message to the people, the union’s scribe appealed to the people to close ranks and unite their efforts in the service of the kingdom.
He also urged community leaders, elected and appointed political office holders in Okpe Kingdom to attend urgently to the needs of the people with a view to addressing the untold hardship the people are experiencing.
Ebireri who pledged a better Okpe Union and better Okpe kingdom, said many people will be turning their eyes to the union in 2013.
‘By our concerted action, we have a chance of proving that we have positive and constructive contributions to make towards the growth and development of Nigeria, particularly Delta State. Also, the success of our programmes will be a measure of the readiness and ability of the Okpe people to direct the political and economic activities of the state in 2013 and beyond’ he said.
In another development, the Secretary General of Okpe Union Worldwide, Mr. Henry Ebireri has dismissed his reported suspension by some strange characters in Okpe kingdom, describing it as a plot to destroy the union and further enslave the good people of Okpe kingdom.
The union’s scribe further described the alleged suspension as a ruse.
‘Don’t allow them to influence you. Don’t succumb to the machinations of those who try to undermine our unity and rob us of our resources’ he advised
