The Amanyanabo of Abonnema, HM King Gbobo Disrael Bob-Manuel has paid flowing tributes to the Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike for his effort in maintaining peace and security throughout the state.
Bob-Manuel who said this in an interview with newsmen in his palace in Abonnema also commended the Governor for his respect to the traditional institution.
Meanwhile, King Bob-Manuel has described as false insinuations in some quarters that Abonnema is embroiled in chieftaincy or kingship crises.
The monarch who described the insinuation as the figments of some people’s imaginations said that there was no chieftaincy or kingship tussle in the community “Let me categorically state that there is no chieftaincy crisis or kingship tussle in Abonnema. I am the Amanyanabo of Abonnema and nobody is challenging that fact, neither am I aware of any chieftaincy stool under contention.
“Where then is the chieftaincy crises arising from, the King queried.
The monarch further said that it was wrong for anybody to refer as chieftaincy crises or kingship tussle the activities of some erring chiefs in the community, stressing that there was no chieftaincy crises in the community.
He said that the issue involved is related to the internal administrative matter concerning the age-long customs and norms of Abonnema which have been in operation since the founding of the community in 1882, adding that the Abonnema Council of Chiefs and the good people of the community are working hard to resolve the issue.
The first class traditional ruler also commended Governor Wike for standing on the path of truth and justice, assuring that he would continue to give purposeful leadership to Abonnema.
