Alabo Peterside (1918 - 2016) was relentless in what he saw as his mission to protect Opobo’s political, ethnic, religious, cultural and linguistic identity. For this reason, he articulated the kingdom’s interests at national, state and local levels. In the quest to promote the Opobo Kingdom’s rich cultural heritage, in the early 1980s, he elevated Opobo’s music, song and dances to an art form with nationwide following. He recreated Opobo culture through Ereminaogbo Opubo of Opobo, with the revival of Ngunume and Ereminaekpete music and dance, which became spectacularly popular in many parts of the Ijaw Nation, and drew attention to the need to revisit the Ibani language of the Opobo Kingdom
