Anambra East Council of Traditional Rulers Suspends Igwe Alex Edozieuno, the Traditional Ruler of Mkpu Nando Aguleri-Otu for Two Years
Anambra East Council of Traditional Rulers Suspends Igwe Alex Edozieuno, the Traditional Ruler of Mkpu Nando Aguleri-Otu for Two Years
With particular reference to the above subject matter, I am obliged to respond to this malicious and unguarded news making round both the conventional and social media news platforms suggesting that HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Izuchukwu Emeka JP (Oke-ebo II of Umueri) was suspended from Anambra East Council of Traditional Rulers for a period of one year, by the Traditional Ruler of Mkpu Nando Aguleri-Otu, Igwe Alex Edozieuno.
Ordinarily, we wouldn't have responded to this news if not for the numerous calls by well-meaning and respected individuals in Anambra State, both home and abroad.
In the light of the above, The Anambra East Council of Traditional Rulers hereby suspends the Traditional Ruler of Mkpu Nando Aguleri-Otu, Igwe Alex Edozieuno for a period of two years, for trespassing into another traditional rulers territory.
The purported suspension of HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka JP (Okebo II of Umueri) by the Traditional Ruler of Mkpu Nando Aguleri-Otu, Igwe Alex Edozieuno is laughable and should be confined to the dustbin of history where it belongs to.
For the records, I wish to Inform the general public that the Anambra East Council of Traditional Rulers has never met since the incident of 29th January 2019 so it is quite shocking that by 31st of January 2019 (merely 48hours), the chairman Igwe Alex Edozieuno had already written a suspension letter.
The truth is, Igwe Alex Edozieuno acted like an emperor and his actions are of no consequence whatsoever. Igwe Alex Edozieuno can not suspend HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka JP (Okebo II of Umueri) because he has no such powers. He acted for himself and himself alone in a failed bid to massage his non-existent ego.
I challenge Igwe Alex Edozieuno to tell the general public where he derived such powers to suspend a Traditional Ruler in Anambra State let alone HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka JP (Okebo II of Umueri), if not the typical case of a "butterfly that thinks itself bird"?. I challenge Igwe Alex Edozieuno to provide the general public evidence of when and where the meeting of Anambra East Council of Traditional Rulers took place and descition was made to suspend Igwe Umueri.
The fact is; Igwe Alex Edozieuno as Chairman of Anambra East Council of Traditional Rulers has never call any meeting since the incident took place so his latest behavior can be likened to the behavior of an emperor or a Lord which is not acceptable in this modern time.
For the benefit of hindsight, I wish to Inform the general public of what happened on Tuesday, 29th January, 2019 during the visit of His Excellency the Executive Governor of Anambra State, Igwe Alex Edozieuno in his conscious effort to challenge history decided to deny HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka his traditional right of performing the traditional breaking of kola-nut, an action that was rightfully resisted by HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka (Oke-ebo II of Umueri). Ordinarily, when you come into another person's domain, it is the right of the Traditional Ruler who's domain you visited to brake the cola-nut according to Igbo custom and tradition.
At this juncture, may I also further remind Igwe Alex Edozieuno that even our elementary history unabiquosely taught us that - the traditional breaking of the kola-nut is usually performed by the host Traditional Ruler and so I ask, can Igwe Alex Edozieuno allow HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka to perform the traditional braking of kola-nut while in Mkpu Nando Aguleri-Otu soil? The answer obviously would be NO!.
In conclusion, there is no doubt that the action of Igwe Alex Edozieuno is self serving and very provocative to say the least. We implore him to toe the line of nobility and desist from further insulting Igbo culture and our collective sensibility.
We hereby urge Mkpu Nando Aguleri-Otu to send another representative that will be representing them at the council till the two years suspension order on Igwe Alex Edozieuno elapse.
Signed:
HRM Igwe Sir Benneth Emeka JP
(Oke-ebo -EBO II of Umueri)
