LG Chairman’s Recall Unites Ekpeye People

The Monarch of Ekpeye Kingdom, Eze Robinson O. Robinson, says the lifting of the suspension order on the Ahoada East Local Government Council Chairman, Hon Cassidy Ikegbidi, has strengthened the political unity of the Ekpeye people.

Eze Ekpeye Logbo stated this recently when he paid a solidarity visit in the company of the Ekpeye Council of Chiefs on the council chairman at his country home in Ihugbogo town.

The AELGA chairman  was among 10 other council chairmen suspended early this year by the Rivers State Governor, Rt Hon Chibuike Amaechi over lateness to security meeting.

According to the monarch, the visit was an opportunity for the Ekpeye people to express their solidarity for the council chairman, whom he said had contributed immensely to the human and infrastructural development of the kingdom.

Eze Robinson expressed  gratitude to the governor for lifting the suspension order, and urged the chairman to learn from his mistakes and continue in his good works.

He cautioned gossips and rumour mongers to refrace their steps and join hands in moving the Ekpeye Kingdom forward.

Also speaking, the Igbu-Ahoada III, Eze P.C. Ihua-Maduenyi, urged the chairman to carry everybody along in spite of their short-comings, stressing that “there should be no victor and no vanquished” in his tenure.

In his remarks, HRH Eze Innocent Odum noted that Cassidy was a well breed leader that had the support of his people. He  wished him God’s wisdom to serve the people well.

In his response, the council boss thanked the governor for lifting the suspension order on him and others.

He expressed regrets over his lateness to the meeting that led to the suspension, and apologised to the governor.
