Today mark 4 years remembrance of our dear father, a great icon who has contributed immensely to the development of Ankpa kingdom. The late Ejeh was a meritorious ruler who served with diligence and honesty.
The late Ejeh of Ankpa, His Royal Majesty, Alhaji Dr Ahmodu Yakubu Adaji (MFR, OIK) – a descendant Atiyele. He was a man of impeccable and unimpeachable integrity.
We mourn your transition not because you are our king but because of your many contribution to the entire Kogi state and Nigeria at large.
He stood at all times with the people, eyeballing political and military demagogues and putting an end to the treacherous evil it bring. The late paramount ruler contributed immensely to the socio-political development of Ankpa kingdom without bias.
During his reign, Ankpa and its environs witnessed robust developments. The late Ejeh will be remembered for his humility and forthrightness. He was a detribilized elder statesman whose words of advice on national concerns will be greatly missed. We the member of the royal dynasty will forever continue to uphold your legacies.
The late Ejeh was a figure whom I described as “the last of the titans”. He always stood out as a bridge builder whose influence spread across the entire people of Ankpa and the entire Igala Kingdom at large.
May your soul continue to rest in peace Agagwu Agagwu Agagwu.
– Prince Yakub Yakub
Galadima Ejeh Ankpa
