The Woji Community in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area says the stool of Eze Oha Evo of Evo Kingdom is not vacant despite attempts by some persons to crown themselves.
The Secretary, Woji community Development Committee (CDC), Surveyor  Emmanuel Ichechukwu  Ogbonda who said this in an interview  with newsmen in the area said that the  stool  is currently being occupied by HRM Eze Clinton Ogbonda.
Surveyor  Ogbonda explained that Eze Clinton Ogbonda has been occupying  the stool since 2007, pointing out that some of those who are now  installing themselves were among those who nominated Eze Clinton Ogbonda for the stool.
According to him, “The Eze Oha Evo is rotatory among  three royal families in Woji, which  include Eke, Ogbonda and Chuku families.
“The immediate past Eze Oha Evo, Late HRM Eze J.W. Eke/Eze Frank Eke was from Eke’s family. The next family inline is the Ogbonda family and HRM Eze Clinton Ogbonda has been nominated since  2007 by the  people of  Woji, with the signatures of Ogbonda family leaders”, he said.
The CDC Secretary said that the disregard  to the customs and traditions of Evo Kingdom  has not only ridiculed the ancient Eze Oha Evo stool, but also made a mockery of the entire Evo traditional institution.
He appealed to Governor  Ezenwo Nyesom Wike  to wade  into the matter with  a view to forestalling breakdown  of law and order in the community.
