Ewu Monarch Postpones Conferment Of Chieftaincy Titles


The traditional ruler of Ewu Kingdom, HRM Ovie Clement Oghenerukevwe Ikolo, Urhukpe I, has postponed the conferment of chieftaincy titles that was earlier scheduled to hold today, 11th October 2025, in Ewu town, Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State.

In a press release signed by the Secretary of the Ewu Council of Chiefs, Chief Henry Abizor, it was stated that the decision was made as a result of the near-miss Air Peace aircraft incident in which the revered monarch of Ewu-Urhobo Kingdom was a passenger.

According to the statement, “The distressing experience, which could have ended in tragedy, has left the nation and our community in deep reflection and gratitude to God Almighty for His divine mercy and protection.”

“The Palace and the entire people of Ewu-Urhobo Kingdom give profound thanks to Almighty God for sparing the precious life of our King, His Royal Majesty, Ovie Clement Ikolo, Urhukpe I, and all other passengers aboard the aircraft.”

“The hand of divine preservation was evident, and we return all glory to God for turning what could have been a national tragedy into a testimony of grace and deliverance.”

“In light of this incident and the emotional weight it carries, the Palace, after due consultation with the Ewu-Urhobo Traditional Council, has deemed it respectful and prudent to reschedule the Chieftaincy Title Conferment Ceremony to November 2025.”

“This adjustment allows for a period of thanksgiving, reflection, and renewed celebration of life, ensuring that the forthcoming traditional event proceeds with the decorum, peace of mind, and joy befitting such an esteemed occasion.”

“The new date in November 2025 will be officially communicated in due course. The Palace remains steadfast in its commitment to honouring all deserving awardees with grandeur and dignity reflective of their service and loyalty to the Kingdom.”

“We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all our subjects, well-wishers, and friends of the Kingdom for their understanding, prayers, and steadfast support.”

“The Palace looks forward to celebrating this significant occasion in an atmosphere of thanksgiving and unity when the time comes,” it added.
