The Imperial Majesty of Awka Kingdom and first class Monarch in Anambra State, Dr. Austine Ndigwe has reacted to the news making rounds about ‘his claims’ that the State Governor can not intimidate Traditional Rulers in the State.

Dr. Austine Ndigwe Ezeuzu, 3rd of Awka kingdom reacting furiously, says its fake news, thereby threatens to lay curse on the paddlers.

He says the story the story is not only fake but also misleading – a fabricated story that emanated from the imagination of the reporter’s mind, he added.

“If there’s anything to tell anyone or the Governor even, we won’t say it publicly but only come to you to tell you in private, That’s the policy of Awka Kingdom.

“I think those who filed the report quoted me out of context and reported what hovers around their imagination and not in reality.

“I have been in Awka for the past few months and has not travelled to Abuja, I have nothing to do with anyone in Abuja going to see President Muhammadu Buhari and must be exonerated from that folly or they will face the wrath of Awka Kingdom.

“The Governor of Anambra State, HE, Dr. Wilie Obiano has been friendly with the Traditional council of Awka Kingdom; there’s no rift between the Obiano and Ezeuzu III, I only called on the Governor to build more infrastructures in Awka capital city.

Dr. Ndigwe added that “It was the Governor who transformed the Anambra state capital to a real capital city and rather urged him not to relent in building more infrastructures that will continue to develop and beautify Awka.

“We are not people who confront those placed in position of authority by God. We don’t insult or embarrass them. There is no fight or rift between Ezeuzu III and the Governor, the Monarch said.

Word of caution
Ezeuzu III cautioned those he described as rumor mongers and those seeking to cause ill-feelings between himself and the Governor to desist, noting that they can never succeed in such antics.

He promised to always support the Governor and the Government where necessary, adding that the Governor has been a blessing to the State and pray for Almighty to always guide him in the right direction to keep performing for the people of Awka and Anambra State at large.
