Aguleri community show support to their son, Governor Obiano, call for sack of traditional rulers
The consequences for
some of the 12 traditional rulers from Anambra state that visited Abuja with
Prince Arthur Eze to see President is
still reverberating. If you could recall the all the 12 traditional rulers that
visited Abuja with billionaire Arthur Eze were suspended for a year by the
Governor Obiano last week.
The Aguleri community in Anambra East
Local Government Area of Anambra State have protested against two traditional
rulers who followed Prince Arthur Eze to visit President Muhammadu Buhari in
Abuja. The two traditional
rulers they were protesting against Igwe Alex Edozieuno of Mkpunando Aguleri and Igwe Udoji
Ikegbunem of Eziagulu-Otu Aguleri.
Governor
Obiano who also hails from Aguleri is having a running feud with Prince Arthur
Eze.
The protesters were led by the town president-general, Chief Hipo Onwuegbuke;
president of Aguleri youths, Mr Nnamdi Ikeli, and other leaders of the
community.
They
said that the two embattled monarchs betrayed their community by joining forces
with an outsider to fight their son, Chief Willie Obiano, who is the governor
of the state.
“We are protesting the unbecoming conduct of the two Igwes
(monarchs) in our community namely Igwe Alex Edozieuno of Mkpunando Aguleri and
Igwe Udoji Ikegbunem of Eziagulu-Otu Aguleri.
“These Igwes on their own left our domain without telling our people, without
even telling the government or the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council and
went to Abuja with Prince Arthur Eze. We condemn that conduct in its entirety”,
Onwuegbuke said.
The
youth president, Ikeli, who corroborated Onwuegbuke said that the continued
stay in office of the two monarchs were no longer acceptable to them and
therefore called on Governor Obiano to dethrone them.
