Following the recent publication (advertorial) by the Orlu Zonal Chairman of Ndieze, Eze Okeke denying any discussion on the Appeal Court victory of Eze Cletus Ilomuanya at their last meeting in Orlu, reactions have trailed the said publication from some of the Ezes that attended the meeting, referring to Eze Okeke as a liar and maintained that they discussed Eze Ilomuanya’s victory extensively at the meeting.
Reacting on the issue, the Orlu local government Chairman of Ndieze, Eze Ugonna Iriele expressed disappointment on the action of Eze Okeke. He wondered how an Eze of Okeke’s status will probate and reprobate at the same time and for whose interest.
Eze Iriele disclosed that it was him (Eze Iriele) that raised the issue on their State Chairman, Eze Ilomuanya and it was discussed extensively especially on how to reconcile the Eze and the governor for the position benefit of Imo in general and Ndi Eze in particular.
He also revealed that it was said that Eze Okeke used proverb to suggest that we should meet with the governor and solicit that everybody buries the hatchet and allow peace to rain.
Another Eze that disagreed with Eze Okeke’s publication is Eze (Barr) Anayo Durueburuo from Okwudor, according to him “I was abashed by the publication because in the meeting at Orlu, we the Ezes from Orlu Zone had a motion concerning the appeal court victory of Eze Ilomuanya, it was discussed and it was agreed that we are going to meet with Governor Rochas Okorocha and persuade him to adhere to the court judgment and reconcile with the authentic Chairman of Imo State Traditional Rulers Council, Eze Ilomuanya who is his brother”. He wonders why Eze Okeke could go on print to deny the discussion of Ndi Eze Orlu Zone without their consent”.
Consequently, the two Ezes referred to the publication as lies and maintained that Eze Ilomuanya’s appeal court victory, the way forward was discussed extensively.
