The Traditional Ruler of Enugwu-Agidi Community in Njikoka Local Government Area of Anambra State, Igwe Michael Chidozie Okekeuche,(Okpalarim 111), has endorsed the leadership of the new Acting President -General of the Community, Ozo Kenechukwu Darlington Okoye.

It will be recalled that Ozo Okoye, ascended to the exalted seat on 20th November, 2025, following the suspension of the immediate past President-General of the Community,Mr Ebuka Onuorah by the Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU) because of his alleged gross conduct while in office.

Igwe Okekeuche,who made the pronouncement today in his palace ,while playing host to the new acting president- general,Ozo Okoye, and his executive members ,who paid him a courtesy visit as part of his activities, asked the the new leadership of the Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU) to toe the path of peace, and unity with a view to liberating the community out of the vicious bondage meted out to it by Mr. Ebuka Onuorah, and his lieutenants in the community for the past three years in the state.

The Royal Father, who vehemently vowed that union will hold her annual general conference as stipulated on 29th of December, 2025, said that several letters have been sent out as well as other several items from the community needed to ensure that the election hold on the stipulated date in the area, saying that what remains now is for them to put the ballot boxes down,and ensure that it was the people of Enugwu-Agidi are the ones voting , and vote according to the law, so that the outcome of the election should remain sacrosanct .

He said that the essence was to ensure that the people who will rule the community for the next three years have the mandates of Ndi-Enugwu Agidi, and thanked the acting president-general and his team for their three years of endurance, praying that the Almighty God will bless them, and as well lead them in all they are doing so that it shall be well with the people of the community.

” I am throwing my full weight to this December ,29th general conference of EBU,so that there will be no vacuum or gap in communication in the activities of the union in the community”,he said.

He told PG that their actions so far were calmly as it depicts the behaviour of a reasonable government appointed people,adding that what they have done was constitutional,and further described it as the way things should be done in the community.

“The acting PG ,and his team, took appropriate step, and quietly announced it that this is what they have done by suspending Mr. Ebuka Onuorah for unruly,and unconstitutional behaviours as well as neglecting the rules of the EBU with particular reference to her constitution”, Igwe further narrated.

*In most cases i would count Ebuka Onuorah lucky that he was only talking of suspension, otherwise the EBU deserves the power,and with the Central Executive Committee (CEC) of the community to even impeach him”, the Royal Father pointed out.

According to Opkalarim, the actions ,and inactions of Mr Ebuka Onuorah in the community had been going on distasteful to the majority of Enugwu-Agidi people both at home, and in the diaspora, opining that they have spoken to him,but to no avail,as he had committed kinds of atrocities even before him,and against him.

“We have gone round the nation trying to find peace , but whatever agreement that was reached, Ebuka refused to abide by it .

“I thank you people that you went to the secretariat ,and seeing it locked , and you came back , and you didn’t use your power which you had to enter there , and conduct your meeting , but you were able to contain yourselves”, he sated.

Igwe, who spoke among other things, made it very clear that the secretariat does not belong to anybody, except the Central Executive Committee,(CEC), National Executive Committee (NEC),and Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU) which he said were the only bodies permitted to have their meeting or general assembly there.

The Traditional Ruler, affirmed that he had seen the presentations of the acting president-general, and wished to bless him, and commended the( EBU ) for their unanimous decision in making Chief Ekene Okoye the acting president-general of the community, assuring them that there is nothing wrong with their actions, rather it was a normal thing needed to be done for the sake of the community.

He further pointed out that when the head got rotten that the members ought to continue with their work before the general assembly’s conference slated to hold in December this year .

“I thank you because your actions were in concurrent with the aspiration of the CEC, I know that EBU had the reports of what Ebuka Onuorah had been doing, which offered him the opportunity to rethink, but he blatantly refused,rather he always fight everybody , claiming to be the Governor of Enugwu-Agidi community “,Igwe bitterly complained.

Igwe Okekeuche, who reemphasize that nothing whatsoever will stop the election, argued that everybody in the community had accepted 29th December as the date for the election .

“We are waiting for the government to come,and ascertain or know what the community had been passing this years of Ebuka’s leadership as the PG of the community.

While calling on the NEC to stand firm so that they will have proper election, Igwe Okekeuche wondered the platform Ebuka Onuorah will stand to contest the election considering all the gravity of the allegations leveled against by the people which he had failed to clear.

Briefing Igwe Okekeuche on the reasons behind the courtesy visit,the new acting president-general of the community,Ozo Kenechukwu Darlington Okoye,said that they came to seek the Igwe’s royal blessing, support and his fatherly advise with a view to restoring the lost glory of the town.

The PG ,who stated that his leadership will do everything within its powers to make Enugwu-Agidi not only to work again ,but great, assured that he will work in line with the constitution of EBU, Nigeria, Igwe -In – Council of the community, Ulonabo, and the EBU women wing as well as the youths in an efforts geared toward cleaning up the community out of the impunities committed by the immediate past President-General of the community,Mr Ebuka Onuorah,whom he said had through his ugly actions defiled the lands of the community in all ramifications.

“My intention is to bring back lasting peace ,and unity in Enugwu-Agidi ,and by extension,make it liveable for Ndi-Enugwu Agidi both at home and in the diaspora “,the PG remarked .

He urged the people of the community to remain calm ,and go about their legitimate business,assuring that Mr.Emeka Onuorah ,and his team will soon face the heavy wrath of a panel to exonerated themselves from the allegations leveled against them.

He pleaded with Igwe to forgive them in the areas they have erred in the course of working with Ebuka Onuorah as PG,saying that their actions were not intentional,adding that they have their family names ,and the corporate image of the community to not only protect,but to project ,and promote outside the global communities.

In a vote of thanks,the Assistant Publicity Secretary of the Union,Chief Daniel , Egbuonu, remarked that the community had been living under the control of what he described as king villains under the leadership of Ebuka Onuorah,whom he said had turned the community to object of ridicule in the whole Anambra State,and Nigeria at large.

While thanking Igwe Okekeuche for the honour done them,Chief Egbuonu,said that the Central Executive Committee of the community have leveled 17 count charges against Mr Ebuka Onuorah,all bothering on unlawful land grabbing, intimidation,and harassment of the people, especially the youths, and women of the community as well as changing the traditional date of community’s Central Executive Committee, which he said holds every 29th of December,each year to 16th December,2025,hence his suspension by the union.

Present on the event were the security agents , and the staunch supporters of the new interim PG, who later accompanied him to his ancestral home where he sought the protection , and guide of his forefathers as he journey into the exalted office.
