His Royal Majesty, Major General Mujakperuo Agho (Rtd), Orhue 1, Orodje of the ancient Okpe Kingdom, is the new Chairman of Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers, appointed at the instance of His Excellency, the Governor of Delta State, Senator Dr Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, in a letter dated 25th January, 2022 and signed by the Secretary to the State Government, Chief Patrick Ukah.

The news of his appointment as Chairman of Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers, rocked the airwaves and still trending on social media within and outside the state, due largely to his excellent credentials and unblemished reputation as a first class traditional ruler, detribalised patriotic Nigerian and elder statesman who consistently conducted himself as a highly reserved and visionary king.

He is a royal father with aristocratic dignity, a retired star officer of the Nigerian Army, served in various capacities within and outside the country before ascending the throne of his forefathers in July, 2006, as Orhue 1, the Orodje of Okpe Kingdom.

His Royal Majesty’s coronation was colourful and highly impressive, well attended by prominent Nigerians and very senior officers of his primary professional constituency, the Nigerian Army where he excelled and retired as a Major General. Orodje of Okpe Kingdom is one of the few royal fathers you don’t get to see regularly in public functions because he truly understands the dignity expected of traditional rulers in their interface with the public.

There is no iota of doubt that as Chairman of the Delta State Council of Traditional Rulers, HRM the Orodje of Okpe Kingdom, will perform his official duties with utmost dignity and decency which he is well known for, both his years as military officer and as the great king of the Okpe people worldwide.
