Kabowei Kingdom, HRM. Barrister Shadrach Erebulu ( Aduo III)
According to Pere, Shadrach Erebulu, the title is in
recognition of Governor Dickson's outstanding performance in the governance of
Bayelsa and in his move to foster the unity of the Ijaw people across the
nation as well as advancing the development of the Ijaw nation, Kabowei
inclusive.
His Excellency, Chief Onanefe Ibori, who was also
conferred as the "Pillar of Kabowei Kingdom" said, he has thrown his
weight behind Governor Dickson' call for a referendum for a restructured

with the Niger Delta as focus. He also noted that the region can only survive
if the call for restructuring is successful.
