APC Membership Registration: Dr. Sanusi Ohiare Commends Community Turn Out

By Ismail M. Kabir

The Executive Director, Rural Electrification Fund Dr. Sanusi Ohiare has commended local executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adavi-Eba community for orderly conduct of the ongoing party membership registration and revalidation exercise.

Dr. Sanusi conducted his APC membership revalidation today at his polling unit 001 in Adavi-Eba ward of Adavi local government area in Kogi State.


While speaking with newsmen shortly after the revalidation exercise, Ohiare commended the orderly arrangements of the party executives in the area which has attracted appreciable turnout of electorates willing to join the All Progressives Congress and revalidation of existing members in the community.

"This exercise is necessary for members of our community in showing support to the good works that President Muhammad Buhari and Governor Yahaya Bello have done. To achieve more from this administration, we need to show our support to the party".

The REF boss reminded the community that no one wins an elected position without belonging to a political party.

Recalling the benefits of the present administration, Dr. Sanusi listed his choice as the youngest appointee of the Buhari administration, the electrification of health facilities, provision of streetlights and transformers in Adavi-Eba and other parts of Kogi State and ultimately the election of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the 4th executive Governor of  Kogi State and the youngest governor under the umbrella of APC. He is of the belief that the same party that made Yahaya Bello Governor, can provide the vehicle for him to emerge President, while also creating hope and platform for other young people irrespective of creed, tribe, religion etc. to aspire to any office they desire.¡¿K£
He called on women, youths and people living with disabilities in the area to show more sense of belonging by registering in large numbers.

"Over 1000 people in the community already indicated interest in the ongoing exercise and I want to urge more people to turn out for the registration to have a better sense of belonging in the government", he said.

Earlier, Dr. Sanusi paid a courtesy visit to Adavi-Eba community leaders to receive their blessings and prayers for God's guidance in his daunting task of lighting up rural communities across Nigeria.

Ekuechi Festival Of Ebiraland

ORIGIN OF THE FESTIVAL There are few accounts of how the festival started. However, the differences inthese accounts are not fundamental. Generally, Ireba Eku (masquerade cult) wasbelieved to have been formed under the divine instruction of God to check the excesses of women, apart from serving as ancestor worship. Myth has it that aftercreating man and woman as husband and wife, one day God sent for the man but hewas too busy to honour the call. Instead, he requested his wife to heed God’s call onhis behalf. God gave her Irakwo (an egg-like object that contains the secrets of lifeand has the capacity to manifest supernatural powers) for her husband.

Sketch History of Ebira (Itopa Ebira)

ORIGIN OF THE EBIRAS An elder beats the Agidibo to salute the spirits (Photo by EbiraView) Ebira Tao is the largest of the several Ebira groups found in about 8 states of Nigeria including the Federal Capital Teritory (FCT). The other sister groups are Egbura Koto and Ebira Mozum (Kogi state), Ebira Panda, Ebira Oje/Toto (Nassarawa state), Ebira Etuno (Edo state), Ebira Agatu (Benue state) Ebira Oloko (Ondo/Oyo/Osun states). Written records about the origin of the Ebira people were those compiled from palace sources by the British colonial administrators in early 20th century. The Ebira, through oral tradition, trace their descent to Wukari (in the present Taraba state) where they were a constituent part of the Kwararafa confederation. In about 1680 AD, they (along with the Idoma and Igala) migrated out of Wukari a chieftaincy dispute. The Ebira later split into various groups and settled in different locations between 1680 and 1750 AD. The Eb...
