15 Year Old Delta State King Meets State Governor, Okowa

The secondary school student, installed as King (Agbogidi) Chukwuka Noah Akaeze I, was on Sunday presented to the Anoicha South Traditional Rulers Council before his meeting with State Governor Sen Ifeanyi Okowa on Monday.

The agrarian community is still ecstatic from the events of the weekend and the secretary of the Palace, Mr Joseph Obazei, aptly captures their mood.

“The kingship has now been thrust on him and he has taken up the mantle of his late father. Ubulu-Uku people are very happy that somebody has ascended the throne because the king never dies. When it appears that there is no king, there is already a king. That is what has just happened.”

Ubulu-Uku practice progeniture, where the first male child is considered the natural successor.
