The monarch joined by his Council of Chiefs in libations and prayers of anger to liberate his kingdom from stagnation called on the ancestors to visit death on any son or daughter of the kingdom who abuses any position held in trust for general good of the people.
He pointed to greed and betrayal of trust among politicians, representatives of the oil host communities in the area, youth leaders, chiefs, elders and other leaders of thought representing the kingdom in various positions of trust.
He said: “We want people to be honest in the course of service to the land. Representatives of the people are no longer rendering honest service to the people and they are now bigger than the people.
“This kingdom is very rich with natural resources. There are many oil companies operating here, yet our people are dying of hunger because few individual have decided to take what belongs to the people.
“Any representative, whether in oil companies, politics, village headship, community leaders, youth leaders who delights in collecting gratification to glorify self or divert development opportunities coming to the kingdom, that person will die.”
