The Attah of Igala Kingdom.
Your Royal Majesty,
CONGRATULATIONS TO HIS ROYAL MAJESTY, MATHEW ALAJI OPALUWA OGUCHE APKA, THE 28TH ATTAH OF IGALA ON HIS 1ST ANNIVERSARY ON THE THRONE
It’s with utmost pleasure and sense of responsibility that I send my heartfelt congratulations to a Nation builder, an epitome of patriotism and Royal father per excellence, His Royal Majesty, Mathew Alaji Opaluwa, the 28th Attah of Igala on the 1st year anniversary on the throne of his forefathers.
His Royal Majesty’s ascension to the throne of his forbears a year ago was greeted with ecstasy, glitz and commendation, which was a crystal-clear sign of his heavenly choice and the earthly acceptance of the Igala Nation. It’s a biblical confirmation that when the righteous rule, the joy and happiness of the people knows no bound.
A year down the line, HRM, Mathew Opaluwa, the 28th Attah of Igala has lived up to expectations, if not even, above board. His short reign has engendered unprecedented peaceful coexistence of Igala people, strengthened unity of purpose and increasing developmental strides. He’s a father to all who has ruled with the fear of God, integrity and honesty, which are the essential hallmark of a true Royal figure.
Let me commend, His Royal Majesty for his administrative dexterity in the traditional robe which has birthed stability in the kingdom and most especially how he has led the Kogi State Traditional Council as a partner in progress with the Governor Yahaya Bello led administration in building a virile Kogi where lives and properties are secured. Your majesty, you are a Royal father that has contributed immensely not only to the Greater Kogi project, rather you have become a shining light in the traditional cadre of the Nation.
I pray vehemently that Almighty Allah will grant His Royal Majesty more years on the throne of his forefathers in peace and sound health, without losing his Gracious and shining image, but forever remain an inspirational figure and a Bridge builder of note. Amin
I wish His Royal Majesty many more years of peaceful, productive and progressive reign on the throne of his forebears.
