All is now set as the Okilololo of Asaba, a man of many accomplishments, a legal icon, and academic excellence; Prof Epiphany Azinge climbs the throne tomorrow as the 14th Asagba of Asaba.
All roads lead to Asaba, the Delta State Capitol as the coronation takes place at the Asagba palace, Ogwa Ukwu. Azinge’s emergence as the new Asagba following the death of the 13th Asagba of Asaba, the late Chike Edozien, a professor, passed on February 14.
On Sunday, August 18, the Asaba Traditional Council, the Asagba-inCouncil, announced the emergence of the foremost legal luminary, Epiphany Azinge (SAN), as the 14th Asagba (King) of Asaba. Until his elevation, Azinge, a Professor of Law, held the traditional chieftaincy title of the Okilolo of Asaba.
The Ochendo of Asaba, Anthony Edozien, announced on behalf of the Council that the selection process was by the Traditional Rulers and Chiefs Edict of 1979, which applies to Delta State.
