It  was a new dawn at Erema, the largest community in Egi clan of Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni local government of Rivers State as Eze Azubuike Georgewill was confirmed as paramount ruler of the community, bringing an end to dispute over who occupies the coveted stool which had been vacant for years.
It was a glorious moment  as the elders, elite, youths and women groups were engulfed in  excitement.
22 representatives of families that make up the community affirmed their signatures to confirm Eze Azubuike Georgewill as the Paramount Ruler, just as some elite and the leaders of the three sub-communities like Abururu, Obiedi, Agbna also signed the confirmation document.
Eze Georgewill had  on May 31, 2013 been crowned as Eze  Erema Ukwu III at the famous Anama-Oji  community square where a formal letter of recognition and affirmation endorsed by the elders was  issued to him.
Those who also endorsed the document were the Chairman of Erema Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs, Kelvin Ogunwa and his Secretary, Chief Lawson Uche, the CDC Chairman, Mr Azuanuka Obulor, Noble Dede Uche, for Abururu,  Ezekiel  Kanario for Obiedi and Ndudi Dick Obulor of Agbna sub-communities.
The decision to formally affirm and adopt Eze Georgewill, by the entire community, as  paramount ruler, was  to uphold  the  age- long history of the  stool which had previously  been occupied by his ancestors like Umeka Ihi, and Nathan Georgewill.
Speaking to journalists, at the venue of the occasion, Chief Kelvin Ogunwa chairman, Traiditonal Rulers and Chiefs Council, said His Royal Highness, Eze Georgewill merited the position as a philanthropist, peaceful person, very humble but fearless young man .
“He couldn’t have been generally accepted by the people if he is not a good man”, he said.
In his remark, the CDC chairman, Azunuka ObuLor urged ll families, Chiefs, elites, youths, elders and women group to support the Eze Erema Ukwu the Third, who had been approved by Devine intervention.
“This is a new dawn in our community, we should queue behind Eze Georgewill for the community to move forward”.
Responding on the gestures bestowed on him, His Royal Highness, Eze Georgewill, assured the people that he will not betray their interest, as he will use his position to attract development projects,and therefore enjoined the youths to queue into the new system.
The Erema monarch, however, while calling on the people to support all government policies and Programme, appealed to the state government to reopen the community’s general hospital which had been in limbo for some months.
While saying that the continued closure of the hospital was adversely affecting the community and surrounding neighbours. He wished the governor a happy jubilee anniversary.
