Alhaji Ogah who was speaking to journalists in his palace in Doma said the Odu Festival was an annual merriment event for the people of Doma.

According to him, the Odu Festival was also meant to give gratitude to God for protecting the people of Doma from all forms of calamity.

Baring his mind on the constitutional role to be given to traditional rulers in the proposed constitutional review, the paramount ruler said traditional rulers were indispensable in Nigeria in the context of the natural role God has imposed on them, adding that traditional rulers are responsible to the people, feel for the people and are always there for the people.

He said nobody in this country was closer to the people at the grassroots as the traditional rulers.

The paramount ruler observed that constitutional role for the traditional rulers was only the recognition of the existing responsibilities that have been performed over time by the traditional rulers.

On the assessment of Governor Aliyu Akwe Doma’s administration he said the governor has been doing his best.
