Traditional rulers from Ohuhu clan in Umuahia North LGA of Abia State have urged politicians from Ikwuano, Umuahia North and Umuahia South LGAs to respect the existing power rotation agreement in the Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency.

They said adherence to the arrangement would help avert tension and possible violent clashes within their communities.

The monarchs, who made the appeal on Friday through Eze Iheanyichukwu Nwokenna of Ekeoba Kingdom, called on politicians from Ibeku, Ikwuano and Umuahia South to give peace a chance by allowing the Ohuhu clan to complete their second tenure in the House of Representatives.

Eze Nwokenna, who spoke at the palace of Eze Iheanyichukwu Abel Ezeigbo in Uhabiri, Umuchime na Amanso autonomous community, Ossah Ibeku, warned that it would be dangerous to undermine the power-sharing agreement reached during the administration of former Governor Theodore Orji.

Another traditional ruler from Ohuhu, Eze Nnamdi Ofoegbu, stressed the need to prevent violence by upholding existing agreements.

“Let the world hear our voice. We don’t want killings, we don’t want political problems,” Eze Ofoegbu warned.

Also speaking, Eze Iheanyichukwu Abel Ezeigbo, who hosted his counterparts from Ohuhu and other clans within the constituency, said traditional rulers would not allow their communities to become a killing field due to the political ambitions of individuals.

“Instead of allowing our people to kill themselves, they, the Ohuhu traditional rulers have chosen to approach us.

“Ibeku and Ohuhu are one. None of us should die in the course of politics. We want peace to reign,” Eze Ezeigbo appealed.
