Anambra community commends Obiano for restoring suspended monarch


The people of Ukwulu in Dunukofia local government area of Anambra State have commended Governor Willie Obiano for restoring their suspended monarch, HRH Igwe Peter Uyanwa, back to the throne.
Uyanwa, whose one year suspension was lifted December 31, 2021 was among the 13 monarchs facing challenges connected to travelling to Abuja without permission.
Speaking to Blueprint, the President General, Ukwulu Town Union, Chief Walter Okafor, described their monarch as a man of dignity and integrity, attributes he said had earned him a position among the traditional rulers in the state as a former Chairman, Anambra Central Traditional Rulers Council.  


According to him, Obiano by the act, has endeared himself more to the people of Ukwulu ancient Kingdom as well as rekindled love, passion and confidence.
“Obiano has brought stability, oneness, peace and tranquility in the community and Anambra State at large for the decision in lifting suspension of our traditional ruler. We are solidly behind the government. He is the true son of Anambra and Igbo as a whole. He has made us proud. Our Igwe has been in the throne for 15 years  and he earned our respects and confidence .


“I want to urge all those promoting discord in the community to sheath their sword and join in giving peace chance to reign. Peaceful resolutions would make people to achieve impossible things, it is only time consuming but very effective in result actualisation. We are happy for the end result over what could have torn the community apart,” he said.
He also commended the stakeholders including the cabinet chiefs of the community and others who keyed into the line of peaceful discussions since August 11, 2020 when the traditional ruler was suspended.
