Some groups namely: Odum Royal Youths of Bakana, Bakana Interest Group, Obama Vanguard, Ijaw Youths Council, Bakana Chapters and Bakana CDC were also in the jubilation mood.

The groups collectively felicitated with the king for his victory at the Appeal Court describing it as a right step in the right direction.

Addressing newsmen, the Bakana monarch said that the Appeal Court judgment will put to an end all kingship tussles in the community. O.O. Odum VIII thanked God for the victory adding his reign will bring development to the Bakana community.

The paramount ruler appealed to all and sundry to join hands with him to give Bakana a face lift. He pleaded with all opponents to shealth their swords and see the judgment as an act of God Almighty and a victory to the community.
