According to Arewa PUNCH, this concern featured prominently during discussions at the 32nd Annual General Meeting (AGM), which focused on the deteriorating security situation across Idoma land.

“The time for silence is over,” the communiqué declared.
“We must come together to defend our land and demand accountability from the government for the protection of our people.”

On youth leadership, the AGM nullified the recent election held by a faction of the Ochetoha Youth Wing, branding it illegal and contrary to the national executive’s directives. A new, inclusive election was ordered to be conducted within the next quarter.

Other key resolutions included:

  • Expanding the digital presence of the organisation.

  • Launching a 10-year socio-political and economic roadmap.

  • Reviving development blueprints proposed at the 2023 Ogiri Okoh Memorial Lecture.

The outgoing executive committee was commended for its years of dedicated service. It was also resolved that the 2026 Delegate Conference will be hosted by the Minna chapter, while the 2027 AGM will take place in Zaria.

The communiqué also stressed several critical areas:

  • Unity Among Idomas: The AGM emphasized the importance of unity and collaboration as vital to the Idoma people’s collective advancement.

  • Funding Support: The body appreciated the financial contributions from Idoma sons and daughters both at home and abroad, encouraging all branches to continue supporting the development of the Idoma Nation.

  • Development Priorities: It reiterated the need to pursue key initiatives from the 2023 Ogiri Okoh Lecture. The new executive was tasked with forming a committee to oversee and track progress on these goals.

The AGM concluded with the election of new national leaders to pilot the affairs of the organisation, reaffirming its commitment to the growth, security, and prosperity of Idoma land.
