BBreaking News - Ojoto Community crowns CEO Densine group, Chief Okafor the new traditional ruler,


It was a ceremony that reflected an atmosphere of conviviality and brotherliness as people of Ojoto Akanasato community in Idemili South Council Area recently unveiled their new Igwe-elect, Chief Dennis Adindu Okafor.
The new traditional ruler was presented to the entire community by elders of Enugo village during a stakeholders meeting of Ojoto Akanasato Union, the town's highest decision -making body.



Located in the heart of Idemili, Ojoto Community, according to its Reviewed Constitution, is divided into two Sections, Okpuno and Obiofia each of which has 4 villages constituting it.
Okpuno has Ezieke, Ojor, Ire and Umuuchem while Obiofia has Enugo, Ndiabo, Umuezema and Ezema.
In recent months, Ojoto community has been a subject of strife arising from traditional rulership tussle, with many of its big wigs alleged to be complicit in the imbroglio for personal reasons.
As stipulated in the Community's constitution, 28 days after the demise of an Igwe, the Town Union is to commence the process for the selection of his successor, which must be completed on or before the last Ofala of the late Igwe.
Article 26, Section One(1, 2 and 3), further stated that the Igweship shall be rotated between the two sections (Okpuno and Obiofia) in order of seniority.
It is in keeping with processes of Igwe selection according to the Community's constitution that the Town union met announced , presented to the community the new Igwe and subsequently crowned him by Okpala of Ojo,the most senior Okpala that is alive.
The President General of the Town, Engr. Edwin Umeghalu while announcing the new king after he was presented to the Town Union by Umuofor kindred of Enugo village, observed that the new traditional ruler was not found wanting in all the processes undertaken before he emerged, adding that his numerous strides at improving the lives of people of Ojoto bear eloquent testimony of the transformation he will bring to community.



Crowning the new Igwe, Chief Godwin Efoagui, the Ojomo (head) of Ojor village explained that the late traditional ruler of the community, Igwe Augustine Obidigwe who died May last year, was from Umuonyia, the most senior kindred in Ezieke Village which is under the Okpuno section.
He further narrated how Enugo village which is the eldest in the Obiofia section was communicated last year by the Town Union to select a candidate and present to it, which he noted was duly done, leading to the emergence of Chief Dennis Okafor who is from the eldest kindred Umuofor in Enugo and his subsequent presentation to the Town Union.
"Igweship in Ojoto is a sacred responsibility, it follows an orderly system, backed by our constitution. The quest by some persons to jettison our constitution and make Igweship a contestable elective position instead of a traditional authority entrenched by our customs and traditions, is wrong", he concluded.


On his part, an Octogenarian, Chief Dan Ilonze expressed his joy at being alive and present to witness the unification of people of the community through the presentation of the Igwe-elect, praying that his emergence will put an end to any impending strife and position Ojoto on the path of progress and development.
According to him, "I was the President of the town union in the 70s that produce the first constitution Constitution of Ojoto, it is a thing of joy that it is being deployed today for its intended purpose which is to resolve internal strife. It is my hope that Ndi Ojoto would learn to shelve their personal interests for the good of the public especially when such comes in contrast with laid-down rules."
Others who spoke at the event including youths and women of the community while describing Igwe Okafor as a man of integrity that is deserving of the honour to lead bestowed upon him, praying God to grant him successful reign on the Ojoto throne while pledging their loyalty to him.
Igwe Dennis Adindu Okafor, a renowned businessman,a philanthropist, and Agriculturist, while thanking people of Ojoto for choosing him to lead them, promised to operate an all-inclusive leadership that will bring peace and progress to his community, but emphasized that this can only be achieved if the people rally round him.
He posited, "development can never be found in a community where there is no love, peace and unity of purpose. I therefore plead with all Ojotorians to eschew jealousy, bitterness and rancour, to love one another and join hands as brothers and sisters to develop our community for posterity ".

Our attention has been drawn to some posts on this forum by people who are out to disrupt a peaceful town (OJOTO) because of their refusal to follow due process and obey constituted authorities.

Ojoto community comprises of 8 villages

HRH Igwe Obidiwe joined his ancestors in 2016 and final Ofala was performed April 2017

The Enugo Village where the Reagent, High Chief Gerald Mbamalu, AKA ASATO OJOTO and Chief Dennis Okafor are from were aksed to produce the Igwe candidate for screening. As expected, ASATO OJOTO with his seller record in the service to the Ojoto community was a preferred candidate but Chief Okafor will not hear of that and took the case to Ojoto Akanasato. The Ojoto community agreed that since there is opposition that the Enugo village produce all candidates for election by the entire Ojoto south ( consist of the 4 of 8 villages in Ojoto, OJOTO AKA NA ANO). Chief Okafor knowing he stand no chance took the case to the state government with the help of KINGSLEY EZEKWELU (special assistant to the governor of Anambra on media and his brother TONY UCHENNA EZEKWELU((special assistant to the governor of Anambra on Youths). Their only plea was that the governor should stop the election and award the Igweship to Chief Dennis Okafor

The office of the governor reviewed the case and suspended the election until a later date when the state can monitor the election. Because of nefarious activities of the then President General of Ojoto Akanasato ENGR UMEGHALU EDWIN, he was suspended April 13th 2017

Chief Okafor not satisfied went and filed a LAW SUIT against all the other 3 candidates including the then suspended PG Umughalu, seeking injunction to stop the election. The case is to be heard June 2017

Still not happy on May 12, 2017, suspended Engr Umeghalu posted on his facebook still posing as the PG Ojoto Akanasato asked people to come for endorsement of Gov Obiano for 2nd term

Chief Dennis Okafor emerged from the FOREST during this meeting with some few individuals including the EZEKWELUs shouting Igwee to the confusion of the people, resulting in a farce which the police controlled immediately by stopping the event

When challenged by the town; WHO CROWNED YOU?, KINGSLEY EZEKWELU and TONY UCHENNA EZEKWELU resorted to posting staged pictures on Facebook and going on a social network smear campaign against the ASATO Ojoto and Reagent

The state government got news of their activities and dissociated themselves from the hoax, but Chief okafor and the EZEKWELUs will not stop

On May 17th 2017, they produce a forged document signed by the suspended PG Engr Umeghalu declaring Chief Dennis whom they claimed to be crowned Igwe on May 13th 2017 as the IGWE ELECT against the state government order and pending court case. Also they produced a poorly assembled letter date May 13th 2017 and signed May 17th 2017 by the suspended PG Engr Umeghalu that the Reagent has been dethroned

Can you have an "Igwe' on May 13th 2017 and dethrone a Reagent on May 17th, 2017. The Reagent stop existing when the Igwe is crown and are not DETHRONED.

The peaceful town of Ojoto has been thrown into confusion with demonstrations against the SELF crowned "Igwe" Dennis Okafor, who the youth refers to as IGWE OFIA (the forest Igwe) and IGWE TONY EZEKWELU

YOU MAY ASK WHY IS CHIEF DENNIS OKAFOR AGAINST THE SELECTION PROCESS?
Dennis Okafor's history with the Ojoto community dated back to almost 30 years ago, when the community woke to a Unclad DENNIS OKAFOR performing RITUALS with some people around the town. Chief Okafor claimed it is a PURIFICATION RITUALS (IKPU ALU) to cleanse himself and his FIRST SON from the heritage of his then EX FIRST WIFE who allegedly was an OSU. Chief Okafor has over the years continue this Unclad IKPU ALU resulting in the late IGWE OBIDIWE performing Chief Dennis Okafor's FURNERAL while Chief Dennis is still alive ( I KWA NA NDU) although Chief Dennis Okafor recently declared at the town's market that the late Igwe did that in error, BUT NEVER BOTHER TO SAY THAT DURING THE REIGN OF IGWE OBIDIWE OR AFTER HIS DEATH UNTIL HE HAS TO FACE ELECTION FOR THE POSITION OF IGWE.

It's so unfortunate that a great community like Ojoto is being dragged to the mud by this dennis Adindu okafor and his cabal. Well, it's good that the Anambra State Government has intervened on this matter. Already, available information shows that the police is after the fake Igwe and his co impersonators... in the voice of Chiwetalu Agu, "Igwe ejee nga..."

FOR ILLEGALY parading himself as THE IGWE OJOTO in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, CHIEF DENNIS ADINDU OKAFOR, is beginning to understand that this is 2017, decency, rule of law and constituted authorities still reign above any vice.
