Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State is now at war with some traditional rulers in the state.

The Governor has suspended the kings for visiting President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso-Rock without his knowledge. They were led by business mogul, Arthur Eze.

The suspended kings are; Eze Nkeli Nzekwe, Igwe Chuba Mbakwe, Igwe Chijioke Nwankwo, Igwe Anthony Onwekwelu, Igwe Chukwuma Bobo Orji, among others.

However, speaking on behalf of the kings suspended for one year, Igwe Nwankwo said;

“It is an abuse of power and high handedness by state government that has become increasingly desperate as the Governor Willie Obiano administration winds to a close.”

“What we have done were in exercise of our fundamental human rights and we emphasis that no one can take that from us.”

“Freedom of speech and movements are enshrined in Nigeria’s constitution. Any attempt against such will amount to muzzling the traditional institution.”
