Ezeonwuka applauds Soludo, monarchs for timely, mature resolution of face-off
Ezeonwuka, who spoke to journalists in Awka on Wednesday, also thanked Soludo for reinstating Igwe Damian Ezeani, the traditional ruler of Neni Community, who was suspended for alleged non compliance with the traditional rulers Code Of Conduct.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that Soludo and traditional rulers had a meeting on Tuesday where the governor announced he had accepted the apology rendered by traditional rulers who flouted the rules and also lifted the suspension of Ezeani.
Soludo also restated his commitment to the welfare of traditional rulers and set up a committee for proper constitution of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council in line with the provisions of the Law.
Ezeonwuka, who is the founder of Ogilisi Igbo Foundation, an Igbo Socio Cultural organisation, said the parties demonstrated uncommon maturity in handling the misunderstanding.
“I want to thank Mr Governor and our royal fathers for the way they managed the crisis.
“They have demonstrated understanding; shown that wisdom still prevails as their action has restored the dignity of the traditional stool and that of the collective Igbo nation,” he said.
Ezeonwuka said he was happy that the situation did not degenerate further as expected by many people, adding that Anambra was not ready for that type of confusion.
He, however, called on the Committee members to do diligent work and address the gray areas exposed by events of the last three weeks with the aim of forestalling future occurrence.
