Gov David Umahi has lifted embargo on enthronement of traditional rulers in communities across the state.
Umahi made the announcement on Saturday, during the All Progressive Congress Local Government Rally in Isu, the Headquarters of Onicha Local Government Area in the state.
He warned that killings in the area must stop, adding that curse would follow perpetrators of such crime. “In 2015, the Abakaliki people supported us, they sent their kings and queens to support us, this is the time to pay them back.“Let us not mortgage our chances in the future. The people of the South should support the Ebonyi North people so that within another 16 years, it will be our turn again,” Mrs Umahi said.
