The case has been made for the people of Issele-Uku to
unflinchingly support the new monarch, Obi Nduka Ezeagwuna II as he commences
his reign as the Obi of Issele-Uku.
Speaking at the coronation ground as the Obi received his
staff of office from government, former Chairman of Aniocha North Local
Government Area, Hon. Jaunty Okwudi said the coronation was significant a
people must have a ruler in their community, just as it happened in the Bible
when Israel asked for a king and God gave them one.
He advised the people of Issele-Uku recognize and respect
the new king by giving him their support to enable him achieve successful ruler
ship.
Speaking in the same vein, Prince Ojeah Joseph a security
personnel who is also an indigene of Issele-Uku , said the coronation of Obi
Ezeagwuna II is a mark of new beginning for the people of Issele-Uku as it is
also an indication of God’s mercy to witness the event.
“My message for the people of Issele-Uku is that they should
honour the stool and support the obi with all sense of godliness for the
progress of the kingdom and its people.”
For Architect Charles Diai, the coronation is a good event.
He said: “It is a good event for promoting our culture and showcasing the very
essence of who we are as a people, where we came from and where we are going.”
Urging that the traditional institution should be given the
pride of place, Diai said the kingship institution is a repository of the
people’s culture. If we give it the pride of place in the country, it has the
potential of filling the gap where crime has taken over,” he said.
Diai therefore called for a situation in the country that
will make development to start from the local governments. “Start Development
from the bottom; the local government is the bottom,” he contended. He urged the people of Issele-Uku to give
the kingship its pride of place.
