.Govt restates that its decision on Igwe Ngini is final, accuses protesters of being troublemakers The Isuaniocha community in Awka North Council Area of Anambra state yesterday staged a peaceful protest at the Government House Awka, rejecting their traditional ruler-issued certificate of recognition by Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Monday. The protesters numbering over one thousand….
The Caretaker/President General of Isuaniocha, Mr Friedrich Chukwuma Egwunwa, lamenting their ordeal, said that the problem started in 2018 when some persons including present Commissioner for Home land Affairs, Mr Chikodi Anara, allegedly connived and sold vast portion of land belonging to Isuaniocha Community Secondamry School.
“Those who sold our land have been doing everything possible to subdue every evidence,… that is why they connived to present someone to the governor as our Igwe. We don’t accept such imposition, … all we want now is ample peace. Emebo said, “All the people want is peace, that is why we are here on a peaceful protest. “We want the governor to revoke the certificate and take steps to restore internal peace in the community before the issue of Igwe is laid on the table for the elders and stakeholders to discuss the way forward.
“Government will set up a committee immediately to look into the Isuaniocha matter with a view to resolving it and bring peace back to the town to enable the Soludo administration carry-on his developmental projects in all parts of the state without any hindrance”, Nnazor promised.
