The Anambra State Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, has issued certificates of recognition to traditional rulers of four communities.
The communities and their traditional rulers include are Traditional Ruler of Ikenga, Chinonso Ezeokafor, Traditional Ruler of Oba, Austine Emelobe, Traditional Ruler of Ifite Anam, Sunday Ozoemena and Traditional Ruler of Ichi, Ifeanyi Okonkwo.
In a press statement released on Thursday, the governor’s Press Secretary, Christian Aburime, said the governor congratulated the newly recognised traditional rulers and tasked them with morals and value rebirth.
The statement quoted the governor as saying, “While we celebrate this achievement, we also acknowledge the challenges that come with leadership. We commiserate with you on the responsibilities that lie ahead. We pray that you will reign in good health and that your tenures will usher in peace and progress for your respective communities.
“It is essential to remember that each of your communities operates under its own town union constitution, and your emergence as leaders stems from these foundational documents. The power bestowed upon you is not granted by the Governor, but rather conferred by your communities. As long as you adhere to the agreements made by your people, you shall encounter no obstacles.”
