Delta State Approves Prof Azinge as 14th Asagba of Asaba<\/p>\n
Delta State has officially appointed Professor Epiphany Azinge, SAN, as the 14th Asagba of Asaba, marking a new era for the Asaba Kingdom.<\/p>\n
The announcement was made by the State Commissioner for Information, Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, following an Executive Council meeting led by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.<\/p>\n
Azinge\u2019s appointment, a widely anticipated decision, follows his selection by the Asagba-in-Council from among ten qualified contenders.<\/p>\n
His nomination in August was based on unanimous support from his village and the traditional Ebo council, solidifying his standing as the most qualified candidate.<\/p>\n
A constitutional law expert, Prof. Azinge has held numerous prestigious roles, including his recent tenure as president of the Commonwealth Secretariat Arbitral Tribunal in London.<\/p>\n
His ascension to the throne brings to Asaba, a leader of both academic renown and deep-rooted community ties, succeeding the late HRM Prof. Chike Edozien, who reigned until his passing at age 100.<\/p>\n
As the new Asagba, Prof. Azinge’s leadership is expected to usher in an era of continued cultural preservation, unity, and growth for the Asaba Kingdom. His formal coronation is anticipated soon, marking a historic chapter for Asaba and its people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
