The visit, which took place shortly after the coronation of Dr. Nsirim as the paramount ruler and Nyenwe-Eli of Rumueme Kingdom, underscored the enduring bond between the two neighbouring kingdoms in the Ikwerre ethnic nationality.
Eze Gbakabaka, also known as Nyerisi Eli Woji and Nyerisi Mbam Oro-Evo Clan, commended the Rumueme Kingdom Council of Traditional Rulers for their steadfast leadership in maintaining peace and order during the transition period.
He urged the council to rally solidly behind the new monarch, stressing that united institutional support remains essential for a successful reign.
The Evo monarch charged the newly crowned King to stay focused, resilient, and fully committed to selfless service, pledging his personal support and readiness to assist at all times.
In a poignant moment, Eze Gbakabaka paid glowing tributes to two late revered leaders of Rumueme: HRM Omunakwe Nyeche Nsirim (MON), the Apiti of Rumueme, whom he described as a courageous fighter for his people, and the immediate past Nyenwe-Eli, HRM Ndamzi Nsirim, JP, remembered as a quiet, principled, and firm voice for justice.
He called on the people of Rumueme to sustain their support for the Rivers State Government to attract more development and dividends of democracy to the area.
Responding, the Chairman and Traditional Prime Minister of Rumueme Kingdom Council of Traditional Rulers, Nyerisi Mbam Engr. Amb. Larry A. Nyeche, expressed profound appreciation for Eze Gbakabaka’s consistent solidarity.
He affirmed that the historic ties between Rumueme and Evo kingdoms would continue to flourish on the foundation of mutual respect and cooperation.
HRM Nyenwe-Eli Dr. Larry Azunda Nsirim thanked the first-class traditional ruler for gracing the kingdom at this historic juncture, describing the gesture as deeply warming.
He reaffirmed his resolve to nurture and strengthen the brotherly relationship between the two kingdoms for the greater good of their people.
