Oba monarch tussle: Normalcy returns to Anambra community
Peace has returned to the Oba community in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, after a crisis, which emanated from the election of a new monarch.
DAILY POST had reported that shortly after Sir Augustine Chinedu Emelobe was announced the monarch-elect of the community, the commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Matters in the state, Hon TonyCollins Nwabunwanne faulted the exercise.
The election was to replace its demised monarch, Igwe PC Ezenwa.
However, a community leader later stated that the election followed due process of law and that Governor Soludo was never against the process as reported.
On Monday, the disputes were laid to rest following the installation of the new monarch, HRM Engr Sir Augustine Chinedu Emelobe.
The ceremony was performed by elders and kingmakers, led by the elder of Urueze, otherwise known as ‘Aka ji Ofo Oba’, and elders of the nine villages that make up the town.
They presented the Igwe-elect with a new Ọfọ Oba (the highest staff of authority and spirituality), symbolizing the community’s trust and confidence in his leadership.
The event, which took place at the ancient shrine of the community called Okuana Oba, was at Urueze, the eldest community of the town.
According to ancient traditions, the crown and ‘ofo’ are given to the king by the eldest community of the town.
After the traditional rites had been performed by the elders, the new King went straight to St Bethel Anglican Church, also at Urueze Oba, and dedicated his crown and leadership of the community to God.
