THE people of Umuihueze autonomous community in Akwete Ndoki, Ukwa East council area, Abia state, have staged a peaceful protest over the alleged imposition of Chief Daniel Nwauzor, as the new traditional ruler of the community.
Also, in Anioma Isu autonomous community in Onicha Local Government Area of Ebonyi state crisis is brewing following the alleged crowning of two persons as the traditional ruler-elect for the community.
Speaking on the issue, Chief Wisdom Okorie said he was surprised that after crowning him as the Igwe of the community, the same man who crowned him went ahead to also crown another person. He said: “Following the approval of the State Governor, Chief Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru that the communities without traditional rulers should strive to elect theirs, the people of Anioma Isu autonomous community after some deliberations, unanimously adopted me to be their ruler.
In Abia State Umuihueze autonomous community, SEV gathered that the community has not had a traditional ruler for over 40 years. During the plebiscite, Nwauzor polled 9 votes out of 12 available votes to defeat his opponent, Chief Enyinnaya Ogbulu who scored one vote while votes from the other two villages were cancelled due to inadequate representation.
The Palace secretary of the community, Ogbonna Chijiuche, also faulted the Commissioner’s action and accused the member representing Ukwa West/Ukwa East Federal Constituency, Chief Chris Nkwonta, of influencing the decision.“What must have changed from the earlier approval the community got on the matter? This move is contrary to the dynasty of succession and traditions of Umuihueze Akwete Ndoki”, the palace secretary said.
