Anambra Traditional Rulers Withdraw Chieftaincy Titles From Ubah, Tender Apologies
Traditional rulers in Anambra State, Igwe F.E. Ebelendu of Aguluezechukwu in Aguata Local government area, Igwe Onwuamaeze Damian Ezeani of Neni in Anaocha Local Government Area and Igwe Gerald Obunadike Mbamalu of Ojoto in Idemili South Local Government Area, have all withdrawn and cancelled the chieftaincy titles conferred on Senator Ifeanyi Ubah.
The three monarchs also tendered unreserved apology to the Anambra State Government.
This is contained in a statement signed by Christian Aburime, Chief Press Secretary To Governor Chukwuma Soludo on Tuesday, January 16, 2024.
The statement reads; “It has come to the attention of Anambra State Government that Igwe F.E. Ebelendu of Aguluezechukwu in Aguata Local government area, Igwe Onwuamaeze Damian Ezeani of Neni in Anaocha Local government area and Igwe Gerald Obunadike Mbamalu of Ojoto in Idemili South local government area have respectively apologized to Anambra State Government and withdrawn and cancelled the phantom chieftaincy titles conferred on Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, as it contravenes the State Traditional Rulers’ law.”
“This action by the three traditional rulers was in direct contravention of the State Traditional Rulers’ code, which outlines the rules and regulations regarding the granting and revocation of chieftaincy titles.”
There is certainly more to this story than meets the eye. The StoryTeller smells a putrid mix of politics. Anybody who knows Senator Ifeanyi Ubah can be assured this is not the last word on the subject. We shall keep you apprised.
