Kano Gov Ganduje, wife get chieftaincy titles in Delta

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State and his wife, Prof. Hafsat Ganduje, have gone to Delta State to receive chieftaincy titles.

The paramount ruler of Olomu Kingdom and Chairman, Urhobo Council of Traditional leaders, Dr Richard Ogbon, conferred the chieftaincy titles on the governor and Kano first lady.

The governor was honoured with the title of ‘Ererukugbe’.
The monarch conferred the title of ‘Omamoraye’ on Hafsat Ganduje.
Speaking during the ceremony that was held Saturday evening at his palace, the traditional ruler said the honour was to reciprocate the respect and love shown to his subjects by the governor.
He said a prominent Urhobo son and onetime military administrator of Kano State, late Brig, Gen. Dominic Oneya, had told him about the amiable relationship between him and Ganduje, long before he became governor, and personally proposed that the Kano State governor be honoured with an Urhobo chieftaincy title.

Ogbon described the governor was a detribalised gentleman who believed in national unity and appreciated him for appointing Chief Anthony Oneya as one of his special advisers.
A statement by the Director General, Media and Public Relations, Government House, Kano, Aminu K. Yassa, said Ganduje saw the honour to be in tandem with the ideals of national integration.
The statement added that the governor expressed optimism that the relationship between the Urhobo and Kano State would continue to grow from strength to strength.
