The Chairman, Abia State Council of traditional rulers, Eze Linus Nto Mba made the disclosure in an appreciation message to the Governor on Saturday.

Mba, who spoke on behalf of principal officers and entire members of the tra

ditional rulers council, said that the payment of the monthly package will commence in December, 2024.

He explained that the N250,000 monthly stipend is different from the N150,000 Christmas package which Otti recently approved for over 500 traditional rulers in Abia State.

“The Council expresses gratitude that the Governor would from this month of December 2024 begin to pay two hundred and fifty thousand Naira (N250,000 ) monthly stipend to every Eze in Abia state, except the traditional rulers in Aba South, who would receive an amount different from others,” he said.

Eze MBA said a cordial relationship is existing between the traditional institution and the Governor, adding that past administrations in the State did not accord such respect to the monarchs.

He promised that traditional rulers will continue to support the Governor in eradicating criminal elements from various communities for peace and security to reign supreme.

This is like a disgrace, this is too small for traditional rulers in the south east. Mr governor doesn't even need to expose their salaries in the public. Even though the traditional rulers are too many with their autonomous small communities, it would have been better to keep their salary talks out of public so they can be more respected in such a society where ipob kills igwe like fowls by not respecting the stools. Hope they get other dues from their local government and communities?
