Monarch Restates Stance On Peace, Conflict Resolution
The Paramount Ruler of Rumuokwurusi, Eze Simeon Wokoma, has reiterated his initial stance to maintain peace and strengthen the strings of conflict resolution mechanism in his community.
Wokoma said this when he received the award of the ‘Outstanding Monarch On Peace Maintenance/Conflict Resolution of The Year 2022’ by the leadership of Coalition of Niger Delta Journalists at his palace in Rumuokwurusi in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area recently.
Wokoma, a Knight of the Anglican communion, said his insistence on promotion of peace was to invoke even development in the area.
According to him, no human environment has witnessed any form of growth amidst crisis and conflict.
Not dismissing the possibilities of conflict among the people, he said the most important thing was to ensure that no disagreement in the Community snowballs into major crisis.
He noted that such must be achieved through a regular meeting with all classes of people in the Community with a view to knowing their challenges and providing solutions to same.
“As a Paramount ruler, my concern is to have a peaceful reign. As a man of peace, I will be bothered, if my people are not enjoying peace, that is why I stand for peace and conflict resolution”, he said.
The Rumuokwurusi King alsoelugized the Rivers State Governor, NyesomWike, over his determination to give the State a permanent facelift.
He spoke on the backdrop of the Rumuokwurusi flyover construction and other sundry works in the State and added that he has the growth and development of Rivers people at heart.
Meanwhile, he has appreciated the team for the honour done him and promised to do his best in activities that can lead to the betterment of journalists in the State.
Earlier in his address, the leader of the Team, Mr. WarisoWariso, said the Eze was chosen due to what he called “his undiluted concern for promotion of peace in his community and beyond”.
He chronicled how their host solely empowered indigent people in his Kingdom, noting that “there was no better way to honour such a man than what we have done”.
