Abuloma People Appeal to Governor Wike For Upgrade of their Traditional Stool

The recent historic courtesy visit of His Royal Highness Brigadier General Bright Ateke Fiboinumama (Rtd), JP, Paramount ruler of Abuloma Kingdom and his entourage to the Rivers State Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Barrister Elokka Tasie Amadi on the 18th August, 2020 has re-ignited fresh hopes of Government wading into the protracted delay in pronouncing the governmental staff of office and certification of the Abuloma Stool with corollary upgrade as necessitated and evidently proven by Abuloma’s prepossessing antecedents and sterling credentials to say the least. 



It bears recalling at the epoch making courtesy visit of His Royal Highness, Brigadier General Bright Ateke Fiboinumama (Rtd) JP, that incontrovertible and easily verifiable facts and documents were presented to the Honourable Commissioner holistically endorsing the bona fides of the propriety and necessity of government pronouncing the staff of office, certify the Abuloma Stool and upgrade it to its rightful status without much ado. 


It might surprise the discerning reader that in terms of numerical support in voting strength, it is on record that Abuloma’s Ward 20 is the second largest in the country, just behind Ikeja. 
It is an unalloyed indubitable fact that Abuloma community has been very supportive of government’s ideas, initiatives and programmes despite the reluctance of government to recognize its ancient stool. 



The good people of Abuloma are aware of the crowed itinerary of the amiable and goal-oriented Mr. Project whose sterling exploits in infrastructural development and urban renewal is basically second to none in this country. Also legendary is the propensity of Chief Nyesom Wike to match his words with requisite action. In tandem with this coterie of populist appeal is that innate propensity and proclivity of His Excellency Chief Barrister Nyesom E. Wike to connect and keep in touch with the people of the state on matters deserving his attention and perusal. 


It is in the light of his people-centred nature and the capacity of not allowing the glitz and glamour of compassion and consideration, that we, the people of Abuloma are appealing to His Excellency,  Chief Barrister Nyesom Wike to graciously consider the recognition and classification of the Abuloma Stool and also graciously upgrade it to a higher status. 

At the well attended courtesy visit, HRH, Brigadier General Bright Ateke Fiboinumama (Rtd) JP, presented very prepossessing and convincing instruments to the admiration of the Commissioner for Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Barrister Elokka Tasie Amadi. 


In his response at the courtesy visit, the Honourable Commissioner for Chieftaincy and community Affairs, Barr. Elokka Tasie Amadi promised to present the matter to the Governor, saying that the instruments presented by the Abuloma Kingdom is factual with full merits. 


Having taken due requisite cognizance of the full assurance of the Honourable Commissioner to present the request of Abuloma Kingdom to His Excellency, Chief Barrister Nyesom E. Wike, CON, we the good people of Abuloma community most respectfully importune our people-centred governor to give government recognition, classification of the ancient Abuloma Stool and upgrade it to a befitting status.
