Follow due process – Eze Oliver Ohanwe tells Ihedioha vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
Eze Oliver Ohanwe of Ihim Community, Isiala-Mbano in Imo State has called on Governor Emeka Ihedioha to follow due process in appointing the Chairman of Imo State Council of Traditional Rulers.Recalling the dissolution request made by some traditional rulers in Imo State to the governor that Ihedioha should dissolve the state Council of Traditional Rulers headed by Eze Samuel Ohiri and Eze Cletus Ilomuanya restored as Chairman, Ohanwe called the request a sham.
“Going by the usual zoning system, it is the turn of Okigwe Zone after the usual eight years tenure of both Eze Ilomuanya and Eze Ohiri, but when the former governor decided that it should be by election, Okigwe Zone asked me to stand in for the election. The outcome of the election was not palatable as Okorocha used his veto power to ask Eze Sam Ohiri to continue without considering a slot for Okigwe Zone.
And Eze Sam Ohiri also said that he is compelled by law to continue for another eight years again, signifying that both persons will rule for 16 years each. My initial decision to contest the election then was because Rochas called for it. But now if it will be by appointment, it is up to new administration to decide who takes it.
