Deposed Anambra Monarch Reacts, Blasts Government (video)

BAMIDELE AJAYI REPORTS


The suspended Anambra State monarch, Igwe Peter Uyanwa, of Ukwulu in Dunukofia Local Government Area, has faulted his suspension by the State government .


It may be recalled that the 

Igwe Uyanwa was suspended for one year by the state government on Monday, over issues of projects by some people from Ukwulu and elsewhere.


The state government said his certificate of recognition as Igwe had been withdrawn with immediate effect, adding that he would no longer function as chairman of the Traditional Rulers Council in Anambra Central Zone.



The igwe  said that he was not made the traditional ruler of his  community by the state government neither did he campaign for it but his community counted him worthy because of his contributions.


He also said that the  certificate of recognition issued by government was not as important as the process of selection done by the people and If the community does not select one as the traditional ruler, the government will not give him a certificate of recognition. So if the government feels it wants to take back its certificate, it can do so, while the people retain their monarch.


The chieftains and indegenes frowned at the decision made by the state government saying it wasn't a call for the state government to make and they are fully in support of whom they made their traditional ruler.
