President Bola Tinubu is currently meeting with a delegation of South-South monarchs, led by the Asagba of Asaba, Delta State, Obi Professor Epiphany Azinge, SAN, at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

Obi Professor Epiphany Azinge, who is the 14th Asagba of Asaba, was crowned the Obi on August 26, 2024. He is accompanied by other royal fathers, suspected to be members of the Obi-in-Council, in the meeting with President Tinubu. The discussions are expected to address the current situation in Rivers State and the broader implications for the South-South region.
