Don’t destroy communities with ambition – Abia traditional rulers appeal to politicians

Traditional rulers from Ohuhu clan, Umuahia North LGA of Abia State have appealed to politicians from Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South LGAs to respect the power rotation agreement in Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal constituency.

This, they said, would prevent tension and violence clash in their communities.

The traditional rulers, who made the appeal on Friday through Eze Iheanyichukwu Nwokenna of Ekeoba Kingdom, pleaded with politicians from Ibeku, Ikwuano and Umuahia South to give peace a chance by allowing the Ohuhu clan to complete their second tenure in the House of Representatives.

Eze Nwokenna, who delivered the message at the palace of Eze Iheanyichukwu Abel Ezeigbo in Uhabiri, Umuchime na Amanso autonomous community, Ossah Ibeku, said it was dangerous to destroy the power sharing agreement reached by the clans during the administration of former Governor Theodore Orji.

Another traditional ruler from Ohuhu, Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu said that violence should be prevented by keeping to agreements.

“Let the world hear our voice. We don’t want killings, we don’t want political problems,” Eze Ofoegbu warned.

Also speaking, Eze Iheanyichukwu Abel Ezeigbo, who received his counterparts from Ohuhu and other clans in the Federal constituency, said monarchs would not allow their communities to become a killing field because of political ambition of some individuals.

“Instead of allowing our people to kill themselves, they, the Ohuhu traditional rulers have chosen to approach us.

“Ibeku and Ohuhu are one. None of us should die in the course of politics. We want peace to reign,” Eze Ezeigbo appealed.
