Are they supporting the crime committed by the monarch?

Some traditional rulers from Anambra State, who arrived in Abuja to see President Muhammadu Buhari, were prevented from meeting the president on Friday.

Although, no official reason was given for the action, reliable sources in the Presidency attributed it to unfavourable security reports.

“One of the monarchs,” according to a source, “has since October 25, 2019, been taken to the court of Mr Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja by the President Buhari administration on charges of perjury, forgery and conspiracy.”

The source, which gave the suit number as FHC/ABJ/CR/255/2019, hinted that the traditional ruler was “currently on suspension from office by the Anambra State government,” and was also facing civil suits, in addition to security reports against him alleging land grabbing.”

The Guardian gathered that there were concerns that meeting the monarchs would have dealt a major blow to President Buhari’s fight against corruption, the reason the traditional rulers did not get immediate clearance.

It was also disclosed that the monarchs’ trip was facilitated by a controversial businessman from Anambra State, who has in the last few weeks declared an open war against Governor Willie Obiano.

According to sources, the business mogul had lobbied to fix the meeting following which an official arrangement was made for the Friday meeting.

The traditional rulers were reportedly going to allege that Governor Obiano had misappropriated local funds in the state by not conducting a local government election since he came to power. But it was gathered that the planned meeting did not go do down well with ministers from the South East, especially the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, who is a former Anambra State governor.

Dr Ngige was quoted as saying that “though I strongly support the All Progressives Congress (APC) to take over my state after the 2021 gubernatorial election, we must respect the sitting governor and I will not support my state and the Igbo people generally to be disgraced for no just cause.”

A source specifically told The Guardian that he also accused some of the monarchs of “totally lacking in personal credibility”, wondering why “only 13 out of the over 150 traditional rulers in the state could agree to go on this visit”.

Another minister from the South East reportedly saw the move as a breach of protocol for the monarchs to seek to see the president without presenting for clearance the speech which they planned to read to the president, adding “I can’t imagine Femi Otedola or Mike Adenuga or Aliko Dangote take traditional rulers from his state to Abuja to report their governor as if the governor is a delinquent schoolboy.

The minister decried the presence of those he referred to as traditional ruler impostors in the “entourage.

“How can Chief Ndigwe, a barely literate person, pretend to be the traditional ruler of Awka when Igwe Gibson Nwosu, a former Nigerian Air Force pilot and a graduate of the University of Sokoto, is still alive and on the throne?” queried a top appointee of the Buhari administration who pleaded not to be named.

Meanwhile, the business mogul was said to be making frantic efforts on Friday to get the president’s chief of staff, Professor Ibrahim Gambari, to broker the meeting. It was not clear at the time if filing the report if Gambari had been intimated of the moves.

The disappointed monarchs were still waiting at Sheraton Hotel and Suites for word from the Presidential Villa when this report was filed.

Those fools
It’s like saying a dog that ran away from pride of lions is a fool. Ambode knew if he tries more nonsense, na death awaits him. The little shit he did, he’s still suffering. You can’t be a product of of Godfatherism and now Inturn say no to the same Godfatherism that brought you in. Not possible.

Obaseki is just like a pet dog being hailed to fight prides of lions ...Do you need God to tell you that’s foolishness?

Now he want to campaign, he said Edo no be Lagos. Haba!! Lagos that you grew you up, Lagos that made it possible you got elected.

Obaseki should be jailed like Orji kalu and his properties confiscated. He’s name should be erased from former governors of EDO. Very foolish arrogant fellow

SaintBeehot:
No, your in-laws ke, how dare me insult your in-laws. I was referring to our Anambra brothers

SmartyPants:
lol...I hope you have time for a history lesson coz your own is deep.

Bini does not have a single trace of Yoruba.

Oral history posits that the people of igodomido were visited by a yoruba prince called oranmiyan whom they welcome and invited to rule over them.

However, these people were cantankerous and oranmiyan grew frustrated and left. That was the beginning and ending of yoruba influence in Benin and within the bini.

adadike:
that my sister wey you dey do that thing with, is really doing a good job.

gawu1:
Was it El Rufai that asked Obaseki not to resolve his legislative arm problem he created for himself?
Edo cannot be Kaduna because El Rufai no dey remove legislative house roof to escape impeachment.

SaintBeehot:
No problem Bro. I was off, trying to set somethings right. How're your miscreants doing, I hope they've changed a little bit.

Samade7:
U can't blame dat on him, what if ur mumu Nigerian Army is yet to issue another one to him?

Madmohamed419:
I don't understand this map of South south

SmartyPants:
Why should there be indigenous Yorubas in Edo?

jayworld15:
You got it wrong. Anioma was coined when Delta State senatorial district started agitating for their state creation. In Anioma alone, there are from 8-11 ethnic groups including Ika, Olukumi , Bini, even Igbo. Get your fact right before posting.

adadike:
Oba of Benin should help us to put El fire where he truly belong. His house is burning, yet he left his house to set fire on another man's house

SaintBeehot:
inavailability of required quality and quantity of sense.

azmanaty02:
Maybe the villagers mined one or two skulls of their employees, so they ran.

The pharmacist was asthmatic, yet he could not keep off from alcohol and smoke.

So ironic that those who understand the rules of healthy living are also the ones floating it

Bambambiglo:
Every body agreed to carry out coup, Igbo decided to do wiseness and let their generals escape. Civil war later happened and they payed dearly for it. 50 years later ipob pigs will still not let somborry hear word, try nonsense and python will still dance on your head ode

Officialgarri:
If Ize-iyamu eventually wins, Oshiomole will the best political player in the history of Nigeria.

That nigga did it for Buhari as Apc chairman
Did it for Yahaya Bello
Did it for Hope Uzodinma
Did it in Bayelsa until the deputy governor messed up
Did it for Obaseki in 2016
Now about to do it for Ize-Iyamu in 2019 even though he is nothing in APC
Right now, I doubt if Oshiomole is even officially a party member since his suspension.

yanabasee1:
