A royal father in Rivers
State, High Chief Samule B. Enene has identified chieftaincy wraggling and political tussles across communities in the state as potential sources of insecurity and forms of criminality in the land.
Enene, who is the head of Enene Group of Families in Asarama community of Andoni Local Government Area of the state, said the twin evils of chieftaincy wraggling and political tussle must be tackled in order to address insecurity in parts of the state.
Speaking at this year’s Enene’s Unity Day celebration held in the area, the royal father traced most cases of violence and killings to unholy quest for political power.
He claimed that some self-acclaimed chiefs and community leaders forced themselves and their unpopular decisions and traditions on the people because they belong to one cult group or the other as well as those backed by political godfathers.
Enene warned community leaders, chiefs and politicians against using poor people’s children to destroy the society in the name of supremacy, saying that, time would come when their children would reap from their wicked acts.
The royal father, however, called on political officer holders and well-meaning businessmen to engage the youth on meaningful activity that will promote better living and peace, and not to destroy them and future generations.
Earlier, the Chairman of Enene Group of Families, Mr Fineface Fineface said “Enene’s Unity Day celebration was designed as an annual event to commemorate the day, when three families of Enene group of houses reconciled their differences after years of division.”
According to Fineface, the unity day was kept to remember a new dawn in the annals of the community with the emergence of High Chief S.B. Enene as its paramount ruler.
Fineface, who denied any alleged rift in the Enene group of houses, described such rumour as mischief promoted by agents of darkness, and called on youth to resist the attempt of being used as agents of destruction in the state and Asarama in particular.
