Traditional Ruler under Fire

The Abia State Traditional Rulers’ Council has asked the
traditional ruler of Eziama Aba, Eze Isaac Ikonne of Aba
North to step down as Chairman for installing the
presidential candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC)
Gen. Mohammadu Buhari as Ogbuagu 1 of Aba
kingdom.



The Council had few days ago disowned the action by
Ikonne, saying he has no powers to do so.
Reacting to Ikonne’s action in a press briefing in
Umuahia, the Chairman, Abia State Traditional Rulers’
Council, Eze Eberechi d!!k, said “that Aba is made up of
two Local Government Areas- Aba North and Aba South
and over 400 communities as a zone, while Osusu where
Ikonne is resident has a traditional ruler and therefore,
Ikonne is incompetent to give somebody title on behalf
of Aba”.

According to him, the Abia State Council of Traditional
Rulers are happy with Governor Theodore Orji and
President Goodluck Jonathan for their people-oriented
governments.
