The recognition of Ayakiri autonomous community by the Bayelsa State government has sparked off controversy as the Ibenanaowei of Gbarain Kingdom, King Funpere Akah w1and the council of chiefs and elders of Ogboloma Community in Yenagoa Local Government Council have kicked against the development.
The Gbarain Kingdom monarch has petitioned the Ministry of Community Development Affairs which issued the certificate of recognition, stating that the authority to issue such recognition lies solely within his jurisdiction and not the ministry.
Speaking to Nigerian Tribune, spokesperson for Ayakiri community, Chief Bruce Duba, said the last straw that broke the camel back was a statement made by the paramount ruler of Ogboloma, Chief Faithful Tebepina, on September 1, 2020 that Ogboloma has four compounds or families alone, and that Igbeinbiri, the father of Ayakiri was not among them as they were only strangers.
