He praised the traditional ruler of Enugwu-Ukwu, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Sir Ralph Obumnaeme Ekpeh, members of Igwe’s cabinet, members of Nze na Ozo societies, Otu Iyom members and Enugwu-Ukwu community in general for sustaining the tradition.
“I commend His Royal Majesty, Igwe Sir Ralph Obumnaeme Ekpeh, Eze Enugwu-Ukwu, and Igwe Umunri for ensuring that every year this important aspect of Igbo culture is celebrated. Indeed Ndigbo have a proud cultural heritage which should not only be sustained but be promoted as part of cultural tourism. I wish members of the Enugwu-Ukwu community a wonderful 2024 Ọnwa Asatọ Festival”, Sir Paul Chukwuma said.
