   My son and our King, Chief Ekenedilichukwu, my eyes have seen many things in Amankanu, but the joy I felt yesterday was unique. When a community stays nine years without a father, the children begin to forget their identity. But as I watched the convoy arrive and heard the drums of the youth, I knew our identity had been reclaimed. ​You spoke of being a 'due process man,' and that gives us the elders great peace. We are tired of disputes; we long for the shade of a great tree, and you are that tree. May your reign be like the steady flow of a river-gentle enough to bring peace, but strong enough to carry us toward development. May you live long, and may your wisdom exceed that of the kings before you. Chief Enwere Samuel Ogbonnaya { Agunaecheibe 1 in Amankanu Autonomous Community  

​On behalf of the Electoral Committee, I offer my profound congratulations to Chief Ekenedilichukwu Ekpete. Our task was daunting: to conduct a process in a land that had forgotten the rhythm of succession. However, by 8:00 AM yesterday, the sea of faces in that hall told us that the spirit of Amankanu was alive and hungry for leadership. The patience displayed by our people, who waited for hours until the Ministry’s convoy arrived, proved that the desire for a legitimate father figure outweighed the exhaustion of a nine-year wait. ​We did not just elect a man; we validated a consensus that spans nine villages. The transparency of this process—witnessed by the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Mrs. Ada Nwoye—serves as a blueprint for how a community can heal through due process. You are the choice of the ancestors and the voice of the living. We are proud to hand over the mantle of leadership to a man who understands that in a true community, there is no victor and no vanquished. This election ...

To our newly affirmed Igwe-Elect, Chief Ekenedilichukwu Ekpete, the Onodugo 1 of Ohaofia Ndumeze Kingdom. Yesterday, the heavy cloud of uncertainty that hung over Amankanu for nine long years was finally pierced by the light of a new dawn. As your President General, I have stood at the frontlines of our struggles, witnessing the toll that administrative silence takes on a people.

I pledge the unalloyed cooperation of the Town Union to ensure your vision for a modernized, peaceful, and vibrant Amankanu becomes a reality. Your pledge that there is "no victor and no vanquished" has already begun the healing process in our nine villages. Together, we shall transform Amankanu into a beacon of progr...
