The traditional ruler of Abacha, in Idemili North Council of Anambra State, Igwe Godwin Odiegwu, has urged his subjects to support Governor Charles Soludo-led administration to surpass his predecessors’ achievements.
Odiegwu made the call, while speaking with journalists during the celebration of his maiden Ofala Festival at Abacha Community Stadium, yesterday.
He commended Soludo for the achievements he had recorded in the last nine months in office.
He said: “We commend the governor for developmental achievements recorded within a short space of time in office.
“Soludo had toured the state to take stock of places that need urgent attention for infrastructure development and, then, swung into action. That is commendable.
“As a community, we reassure the governor of our supports, and we urge residents of Anambra to give him maximum support so that he can surpass achievements of his predecessors.”
The traditional ruler pledged to uphold the sanctity of the throne, and as well carry his cabinet members, town unions and stakeholders in the community along in decision making.
“My slogan and priorities are to pursue anything that will promote peace, unity, development and brotherliness in the community,” he said.
Also, state Commissioner for Culture and Tourism, Don Onyenji, said his ministry is working with communities to develop their tourism sites.
Onyenji urged the people of Abacha Community to always live in peace and give maximum support to their traditional ruler.
Earlier, the traditional Prime Minister of the community, Chief Paul Omofia, said the Ofala Festival was to celebrate and showcase the unique culture of the town.
