Warri_____ The people of Diebiri Kingdom in Warri South-West Local Government Area of Delta State, has written a rejoinder letter to His Excellency, the Executive Governor of Delta State, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, to disregard a baseless, fallacious and uncultured publication made on the 19th July, 2021 via the Liberator Newspaper online, authored by one self-acclaimed eldest man of Diebiri-Batan Community, James Lude Osuobiri alongside Dickson Ogugu and some dissident groups calling on the state governor to call to order  one of their illustrious son who is Executive Assistant (EA) to the Delta State Government on Peace Building and Conflict Resolution, Pastor Hon. Ako Samuel, on alleged looming insecurity in the Kingdom.

The Kingdom in a letter to His Excellency, dated 22nd July, 2021 and jointly signed by the most eldest man of Diebiri-Batan Community/Diebiri Kingdom, Chief Pa. Gabriel Oluba, Chief. Jacob E. Nadifa (JP), Elder Dickson Kiebor Ekpelagha, Elder Friday Yonwei, Elder Engr. Fredrick Brossy, Elder Newyear Asegbaghan, Elder Johnbull Yokiri among others, has sent a serious warning to the duo of James Lude Osuobiri and Dickson Ogugu to desist from bringing to disrepute as well as peddling lies against their highly respected Paramount Ruler of the Kingdom, HRM. Engr. J.O. Orubu, their leader and illustrious son, Pastor Hon. Ako Samuel and the entire Diebiri Governing Council, stressing that there is nothing like Seven Concerned Families in Diebiri Kingdom Constitution, and that the public should disregard such lies emanating from the pit of hell. 

Moreso, the Kingdom stated that all lands, Oil wells and locations in Diebiri territory are leased to the Nigerian government and the lnternational Oil Companies (IOCs) by the Diebiri people.

In reaction to their watery accusation on Pst Hon. Ako Samuel of causing trouble and insecurity in the Kingdom, Diebiri people debunked their claims, noting that they are all fabricated lies, mere allegations and character assassination of their respected leader, and it should be condemned as well as disregarded by the public.

They reiterated that their leader and illustrious son never enslaved them or caused confusion in Diebiri-Batan community. He is a peace maker, bridge builder, selfless leader, community developer and never involved himself in the Kingdom leadership elections. As a our leader, he was recently invited by the Chairman Diebiri Governing Council, Mr. Emmanuel Orubu, to witness the inauguration of the newly elected Diebiri-Batan Executives, Kolognene Community Executives and the Youth Executives as well.

The people said Hon. Ako deserves some accolades from all well meaning sons and daughters of Diebiri for his selfless service to humanity, immense contributions towards attracting infrastructural development for the advancement of the Kingdom. Saying Ako has nothing to do with the unfounded allegations from those dissident groups and their miserable failed sponsors.

While disputing their lies on the claims that Diebiri does not have a constitution governing them rather have a hoping or emerging constitution, the Traditional Council said Diebiri Kingdom have a unanimously well written Constitution since 2014 that is in operational till date. 

However, the Paramount Ruler of the Kingdom, HRM. Engr. J.O. Orubu, the Traditional Council of Chiefs, the Governing Council as well as the entire Diebiri people has vowed to sanction the duo of James Lude Osuobiri, Dickson Ogugu and the dissident group in line with the constitution of the Kingdom over their uncultured, nonchalant behavior. 

Finally, the Kingdom has charged the baseless unscrupulous petitioners, the Liberator Newspaper to henceforth, desist from peddling lies, spreading fake news and channel their energy over useful businesses other than trying to cause chaos in the peaceful Diebiri Kingdom, the statement adds.
