The chairman who made the call during an interview with journalists at his palace to mark his one year in office, noted that without peace there would be no meaningful development in the community.
Eze Ekwueme (JP) advised the youths of the community to shun evil and engage in meaningful activities that would bring honour to the community and pride to their parents.
He commended the paramount ruler of the community Ohna Nyechekor I. Kpalekwu and Rev. S.D. Ojims and his peace committee for their positive contributions and support during the chairmanship tussle which was amicably resolved based on the council of chiefs’ constitution and bye laws.
