Governor of Anambra State, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, CFR has presented certificate of recognition to the Traditional Ruler of Ụmụọmakụ Community, in Orumba South Council Area, Igwe Obinna Livinus Ezenwa.
Governor Soludo performed the presentation; his first since he assumed office, at the Government House, Awka.
Governor Soludo stated his administration’s commitment to resolving existing leadership crises in many communities of the state.
He also explained that the state government does not interfere with community processes, instead only advise them, to ensure they select who they want as their traditional ruler and that he is glad the election was credible and transparent.
Contributing, the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr. Tony-collins Nwabunwanne said that Governor Soludo’s administration is witnessing the first newly elected traditional ruler under his watch.
He maintained that Ụmụọmakụ has not had a traditional ruler for the past seven years; the Igwe stool has been vacant since 2014.
In a vote of thanks, Igwe Ezenwa appreciated Governor Soludo for the road construction being embarked upon in his community.
While describing himself as “Igwe Governor” and “Solution Igwe”, he prayed for Governor Soludo to succeed in his mission and vision for the state.
