According to reports from Pointblank news,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 bestowing the chieftancy title of Ogbuagu 1 of Aba kingdom on the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Gen. Mohammadu Buhari.
The Council had some days ago condemned Eze Ikonne action, saying he has no powers to do so.
The Chairman, Abia State Traditional Rulers’ Council, Eze Eberechi Dick, 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”.
He said that the Abia State Council of Traditional Rulers is happy with Governor Theodore Orji and President Goodluck Jonathan for their people-oriented governments.
Eze Eberchi Dick revealed that the council was aware that Ikonne was influenced to do what he did and would investigate it and take appropriate actions.
Nigerian politics is still at a pedestrian level. No wonder we have all sorts of people in positions of power and authority.
