The Descendants of Ogondi , founder of Jamagie Community in Egbema have punctured the spurious claim of one Mr. Akin German who is surreptitiously laying claim to the title of Pere Koriwei
of Egbema kingdom.
The Ogondi Descendants in the same communique also asserted collectively and unequivocally that' HRM Barr Napoleon Egin Bini Pere 1V as the authentic Agadagba of Egbema Kingdom.
The Ogondi Descendants without any iota of doubt stated clearly and firmly
that Chief Simeon Ebidouwei David lgbedikuru (JP) from Ogondi quarter of Jamagie in line with the
Chieftaincy gazette is the Pere Koriwei of Egbema kingdom but not Mr Akin German who have no hereditary or any right to the title of Pere Koriwei because the kekewei quarter which Akin German hails from, met the Ogondi Descendants who are the founders of Jamagie Community adding that if the title is actually hereditary as he claimed, then only the Ogondi Descendants can unilaterally lay claim to it, but they have not done that because they have respect and honor for the ancient history and tradition of Egbema kingdom.
The Ogondi Descendants affirmed that the title of Pere Koriwei is the exclusive right of Jamagie Community in Egbema kingdom traditionally from our history conferred on a designated person selected by the whole community and endorsed by the Amakosuowei ( the eldest Man ) of Jamagie Community who in turn recommends the designated candidate to the Agadagba of Egbema
kingdom for confirmation as Pere Koriwei of the kingdom inline with Egbema kingdom chieftaincy gazette.
Mr. Sunday Sagbene, the Chairman of Ogondi Descendents who spoke made the facts clear saying: ‘’Jamagie community, founded by Ogondi have three quarters namely b Ogondi quarter, Amabenemor quarter and Kekewei quarters of the 3 Kekewi quarters is the youngest and the last to come and settle in Jamagie community .
Mr. Sunday Sagbene further disclosed saying : " Our gazetted Pere Koriwei of Egberma Kingdom is Chief Simeon Ebidouwei David lgbedikuru (JP) and we want all relevant agencies of Government and the general public to know for record purpose that Mr Akin German is not the Pere Koriwei of Egbema kingdom , and he lacks jurisdiction and locus standi to lay claim to the tittle the way and manner he is doing now , which is sacrilegious to the custom and tradition of Egbema kingdom.
Mr Sunday Sagbene, the Chairman of the Ogondi Descendants explained that
the tittle of Pere Koriwei is owned and controlled by the entire Jamagie Community which is given in trust to
one person at a time in line with the laid down rules and procedures and our
Pere Koriwei who passed through due diligence and the laid down procedures
of becoming Pere Koriwei with official Government endorsement and dully certified is Chief Simeon Ebidouwei
lgbedikuru (JP)
Mr Sunday Sagbene the Mouth Piece of the Ogondi Descendants emphasized
that Mr Akin German or any other person who is parading himself as Pere Koriwei of Egbema kingdom is an impostor , and he should be made to face the music by the appropriate quarters for disparaging such a highly covetted office of the Egbema kingdom.
Speaking further Mr Sagbene said :
" It is true that Late Chief Boye German
the father of Akin German was one time Pere Koriwei of Egbema kingdom but that does not translate to mean that the son Akin German is also Pere Koriwei any perception of that manner is an aberration because the post of Pete Koriwei is not hereditary."
Mr Sagbene emphasized that people should understand that the tittle is for the community not for one quarter,
noting that Ogondi is the founder of Jamagie community if anyone have intrest or issues about this tittle should wait after chief Simeon Igbedikuru who is from Ogondi quarter is through with his reign before any one can aspire to
become Pete koriwei not this time when he is still alife because this tittle is not for politics nether for family affairs, we don't have this tittle for two persons but for only one person. After Chief Boy German we have chief simeon Igbedikuru as next perekoriwei of Egbema Kingdom he said.
In summation Mr Sagbene said : " l wish to reiterate that the general public
should disregard the malicious claim of Mr Akin German and point out the fact that Chief Simeon Ebidouwei David lgbedikuru (JP ) is the authentic and only
Pere Koriwei of Egbema kingdom[
