Igwe Agubuzu disclosed that the re-affirmation of the Traditional Rulers' position as "apolitical royal fathers who are not expected to involve ourselves in partisan politics or to take side with individuals or groups of our subjects in political contestations" was one of the resolutions passed by the General Assembly of the State recognized Traditional Rulers at their meeting in Enugu, on Tuesday, March 29, 2022.

The Chairman, who pointed out that the caution became necessary to ensure that a few Traditional Rulers among them do not tarnish the image of the entire revered royal fathers of Enugu State, stated that "the State Council of Traditional Rulers will compile and forward to our State Government, for scrutiny and sanction where appropriate, the names of Traditional Rulers who choose to contravene Section 10 of the Enugu State Traditional Rulers Law".

Political Royal Fathers’ will face sanctions – Enugu Traditional Rulers’ Council vows

Agubuzu, who said by law monarchs are to remain apolitical, disclosed that the Council would compile names of defaulting traditional rulers and forward same to the State Government for necessary action.

The statement obtained by DAILY POST, termed public announcement read, “One of the resolutions passed by the General Assembly of Enugu State Recognized Traditional Rulers, at our meeting on Tuesday, 29th March, 2022, was the re-affirmation of our time-honoured position as apolitical royal fathers who are not expected to involve ourselves in partisan politics or to take sides with individual or groups of our subjects in political contestations.

“It is against this backdrop that the State Council of Traditional Rulers views with very grave concern the conduct and activities of some royal fathers, who have failed to adhere to our primary role and responsibility for peace, order, security and welfare of our dear Enugu State.

“It has, therefore, become necessary for the Council to rise to the occasion and ensure that a few Traditional Rulers do not tarnish the image of the entire revered royal fathers of Enugu State.

“Accordingly, the State Council of Traditional Rulers will compile and forward to our State Government, for scrutiny and sanction where appropriate, the names of Traditional Rulers who chose to contravene Section 10 of the Enugu State Traditional Rulers’ Law.”

That's serious

This is somewhat flawed?

A royal father is also an individual who has he's inec card if he then sees good in a candidate of his choice, whom he believes in why should he be exempt from campaigning for same?

ok

Lol. Season of sanctions. USA and her Allies

The Royal fathers should not dabble into politics. But it is politicians that sometimes drag them into it forcefully. They insist on endorsement in their desperate drive to win the people. Any traditional Ruler who dissents is seen as against their ambition. We need to respect royalty.

Useless people under the payroll of the incompetent fat man

On one hand, you endorse Enugu East https://www.nairaland.com/7054405/enugu-2023-traditional-leaders-insist

On the other hand, you want to impose sanctions because you discovered that not all your members agree with the governor

Las Las all of una go collect.......idiats!

Someone is thinking afterall.... Good move

Enugu is in the hands of "god"

Hehehe.

But they can sing praise of the governor even when it clear that he has done nothing tangible in the state for the past 7years.

The Royal father's are also constrained to support anybody endorsed by the governor for the fear of being deposed.

Yeye da smell. Anyways,Enugu States is in the hand's of bloggers and photographers.
