Historic Gathering Of Ikwerre Monarchs Excites Traditional Ruler

The Paramount Ruler of Elele-Okunali and Elele-Alimini Kingdom in Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State, HRM Eze (Dr.) Marcus Woyike, has described the recent gathering of government-recognised traditional rulers from the Ikwerre ethnic nationality at his palace as a historic event.
Eze Woyike stated that the meeting was particularly significant because it was the first of its kind hosted during his reign, expressing gratitude to God for granting him the opportunity to welcome his fellow monarchs to his palace.
The royal father, while appreciating the traditional rulers who attended the gathering in large numbers, said the meeting served as a wake-up call for Ikwerre people to continue supporting their traditional institutions in order to sustain peace, unity and the preservation of their rich cultural heritage.
According to him, the gathering provided a unique platform for the monarchs to deliberate on issues affecting Ikwerre communities and also explore ways of promoting peace, security and social harmony across the ethnic nationality.
Eze Woyike further stressed the need for Ikwerre people to unite towards building a better society and a more prosperous Rivers State that future generations would be proud of.
The monarch also called on residents to remain vigilant and monitor the activities of strangers within their communities, especially tenants occupying rented apartments. He urged landlords to properly identify individuals they rent houses to and promptly report suspicious activities to security agencies or relevant government authorities.
He equally advised political leaders to always place the interest of the people above personal considerations while carrying out their constitutional responsibilities, noting that selfless leadership remains key to sustainable development and peaceful coexistence in society.
