Kogi State Government has approved the reinstatement of His Royal Highness, Obin Sam Bola Ojo, as the Olumagongo of Magongo and Acting Chairman of the Ogori/Magongo Local Government Traditional Council. This decision follows a formal request for reinstatement submitted by the monarch, alongside an apology tendered by him and the Magongo Development Association. The reinstatement also comes after the withdrawal of a suit previously filed against the State Government at the Federal High Court, Abuja. The approval was granted in line with the resolution of the Kogi State Executive Council. The Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Alhaji Abdullahi Bello, while conveying the decision, urged the reinstated traditional ruler to take advantage of the State Government’s magnanimity by conducting himself in accordance with the law. He further encouraged the monarch to renew his commitment to fostering peace, unity, and harmony within his domain and across the state. The Kogi State Government reaffirmed its commitment to working collaboratively with traditional institutions to ensure stability, development, and mutual respect across all communities.
