Soludo formally Sacks Obi of Onitsha

Gov. Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra state, has in a surprise move officially removed Igwe Nnaemeka Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha, as Chairman of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council.

Achebe’s replacement is Igwe Chidubem Iweka, a renowned author and Traditional Ruler of Obosi, Idemili North Local Government Area.

Reacting, Igwe Achebe has congratulated Eze Iweka III, on his new appointment by the governor as Chairman of Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council.

“As Mr Governor told me, your appointment was based on extensive consultation, which becomes your mandate to lead the TRC on a solid foundation . As your predecessor, I offer my full and encouragement to you always in your capacity as chairman.

“I was unavailably absent at today’s meeting due to a clash with a prior commitment in Lagos, of which Mr Governor was aware. I wish you very well,” Obi of Onitsha said in a statement on Sunday.

Soludo announced the change on Saturday at the International Convention Centre Awka, during the launch of the “Operation Udo Ga-Chi” security initiative.

According to the Governor, Iweka’s appointment aligns with the newly amended State Traditional Rulers law.

This development follows a long-standing feud between Soludo and Achebe, who criticized the governor’s handling of traditional matters.

Achebe had berated the state governor for suspending Damian Ezeani, the traditional ruler of Neni community, over a chieftaincy title conferred on late Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah.

The Obi of Onitsha accused the state government of disrespecting traditional rulers and violating their rights, describing the government’s actions as the “apogee of the progressive dehumanisation and dismantling of the traditional institution” under Soludo’s istration.

The chairmanship position is political. At that point the occupant is combining two offices in one - politics and tradition. Often times he is "impeached" from the political office but will always survived the traditional stool.

Soludo must be sniffing a very strong "Solution" which is never good for his mental health.
Man haven't achieved much since he became governor. Anambra is worse than he met it, and yet, man talks too much.
Professor Ayade and Soludo are on the same level. Failures in governance.

Soludo's case is heartbreaking because we Igbos expected him to do better than this.

Still dont know the usefulness of Traditional rulers in today's Nigeria. Money the government is supposed to use in building infrastructures, they are using to pay them salaries.
