A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Obi Ochije-Modilim says Governor Chukwuma Soludo holds Anambra traditional rulers to a high esteem.
Chief Ochije-Modilim who disclosed this while speaking to newsmen in Awka, also appealed to Governor Soludo to forgive traditional rulers who might have contravened the chieftaincy title conferment code of the state and have begged for genuine forgiveness.
The APGA chieftain explained that traditional institutions play critical roles in the administration of the society, especially that of Ndigbo and maintained that Governor Soludo led administration will continue to work with the royal fathers for the even development of Anambra state.
He however appealed to the Anambra monarchs to ensure that those who will receive chieftaincy titles in the future after getting approval from the appropriate authority are those who have contributed in one way or the other for the development of their communities.
According to Chief Ochije-Modilim, a situation where a traditional ruler will confer a chieftaincy title to someone who does not even know his community, or has touched any life in the same community is not acceptable and should be discouraged.
The Awka born APGA chieftain who is a human rights activist and social commentator, further appealed to the Chairman, Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers, Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe of Onitsha to convey a meeting, where their members would be enlighten more on the observance of the chieftaincy title conferment code for a more prosperous state.
He called on the residents of Anambra state to keep supporting the Soludo led administration for a prosperous, secure and liveable homeland.
