Amankanu Igwe-Elect: The Triumph of the People’s Will Rev. Akachukwu Agu

Image
​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 ...

A REBUTTAL: DEFENDING THE INTEGRITY OF EZE ARO AND SOUTHERN NIGERIA TRADITIONAL RULERS COUNCIL

Image
It is both unfortunate and disingenuous to witness the dissemination of some misleading and inflammatory narratives being aimed at His Eminence, Dr. Eberechukwu Oji, the Eze Aro of Arochukwu Kingdom, and the Southern Nigeria Traditional Rulers Council (SNTRC), following a Pan-Nigeria traditional rulers conference held recently in Abuja for a health programme convened by the Federal Ministry of Health, supported by the World Bank, and attended by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. To frame the innocuous, health programme-focused Abuja event as politically motivated and the Eze Aro as bringing “shame” to the Igbo nation is not only factually incorrect, but also a disservice to national unity, the Eze Aro’s unblemished pedigree, and the legacy of Pan-Igbo and Pan-Southern cooperation that our forefathers envisioned. We must uphold the truth with facts, not narratives of ignorance and sentiment. First, let it be noted that the Southern Nigeria Traditional Rulers Council was founded on a structur...
