Elders of the Awgbu community in Anambra State’s Orumba North Local Government Area have urged Governor Chukwuma Soludo to intervene in the community’s leadership problem to prevent a collapse of law and order.

The community’s elders told journalists in Awka on Thursday that despite the opposing faction’s flagrant violation of the community’s constitution, the state government, through the Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Hon Collins Nwabunwanne, was preparing to hold elections in the community.

In the briefing, Chief Theophilus Okoli, the leader of the community’s elders’ council, said there were evidence that the commissioner was supporting an illegal group to organize elections against their own faction, which they said was corrupt.

“We draw the attention of our dear governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo to the present and continuing threat by Honourable Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Hon Collins Nwabunwanne to precipitate anarchy in our town.

“He is bent on foisting leaders on our community, and we do not know what his interest is. He plans to hold election in our town, in disregard to our community’s constitution,” Okoli said.

Meanwhile, Hon Nwabunwanne, while reacting to the report, denied allegations of attempting to foist a leadership on the community, stating that he had no interest in the election, but to ensure that the right thing was done.

“I have the constitution of all the communities. There is no way we can breech any community’s laws. We have a legal team here, what happened in Awgbu is that they have a court case stopping election, I invited both parties and pleaded with them to withdraw the matter for election to go on, and they did. The election will hold on Saturday,” he said.
