The Ohinoyi of Ebiraland is the traditional ruler of the Ebira people. The title Atta of Ebiraland has also historically been used for this position but fell out of favour in the 20th century.[1] The position is elected by a group of elders and has traditionally rotated amongst the major clans of the Ebira.This is majorly because there is no established succession line.[2] The latest Ohinoyi, His Royal Majesty Alhaji Dr. AbdulRahman Ado Ibrahim, assumed office on 2 June 1997.[3]
