Ovie of Umialghwa-Abraka Kingdom in Ethiope East Local Government Area of Delta State, HRM (AVM) Ochuko Lucky Ararile (Rtd,), Avwaeke 1, on Sunday marked his 13th coronation anniversary.

A Coronation Anniversary Thanksgiving Service took place at First Baptist Church, Oria, to appreciate God for 13 years of unending peace and progress in the land.

The traditional ruler was accompanied by his wife, the Oniemo of Umiaghwa-Abraka Kingdom, HRM Opuriuchi Ihuoma Ararile, Ovie of Mosogar Kingdom, HRM Sunday Odogu Okpurhe, Uduaka I, and some chiefs in the kingdom to the church service.

Speaking during the occasion, HRM Ararile, said he was grateful to God for the journey so far, just as he praised Governor Sheriff Oborevwori for his good works in the kingdom.

According to him, the governor promised to do a 2km construction work on the Urhuagbesa road project which has been completed, adding that going forward, he has promised to complete the full stretch of the road.

The monarch prayed for the kingdom and his people to continue to enjoy peace.

He said further that he fought for over 30 years for the peace of Nigeria and that since he retired and he is back home, his mission was to fight to ensure that peace prevails in the kingdom.

Meanwhile, he announced that the celebration for 2027 will be grand, while urging indigenes of the kingdom to start preparing for the big celebration.

Earlier, in his welcome address, Chairman of the Coronation Anniversary Thanksgiving Committee, Pastor Festus Eghwrudje, said the love of God and His presence in and around the king, Umiaghwa Kingdom and his subjects are visibly manifest for all to see.

He continued: “Our king has made Umiaghwa Kingdom look much more than most oil producing communities/kingdoms.”

Speaking further, he said “Oria can favourably compete with local government headquarters in most states and even some oil producing communities- all to the credit of the king.”

Continuing, he said: “Prior to this time, we never dreamt of a tarred road leading to some of our communities. But today, constructions of roads are ongoing to open up various villages.”

On his part, the host pastor, Rev. (Dr.) F.O. Erhabor JP, prayed for more wins for the kingdom.

Immediately after the thanksgiving service, a reception was held for guests at the king’s palace.

Apart from the Ovie of Mosogar who was also at the palace of the king to join in the celebration, the Ovie of Agbon Kingdom, HRM Ogurime-Rime Ukori I, paid a visit to HRM Ararile to congratulate him.
