The National President, Anambra
State Association of Towns Unions ASATU, Barrister Titus Akpudo has eulogized
Governor Chukwuma Soludo of Anambra State, stakeholders and Eziowelle community
leaders for being instrumental to ensuring that peace returns to Eziowelle
Community through the conduct of a credible and peaceful Eziowelle Improvement
Union (EIU) election that produced Dr. Julian Obiora as the President-General (PG)
of the community.
Akpudo who was the outgoing PG,
EIU after 9 years gave the commendation last weekend at the Civic Centre,
Eziowelle, Idemili North LGA after what was adjudged as a free, fair,
transparent and credible election where Dr Julian Obiora emerged as PG with 105
votes while his fellow aspirant, Mr. Izuchukwu Akuche polled only 38 votes.
According to him, I am so happy
today that against the impression created by few unrepentant individuals who
refused to join me in bringing further development in my beloved community I am
handing over to a capable successor of which Eziowelle people can attest of his
maturity to lead them towards greater achievements".
"I am grateful to Mr
Governor for bringing solution to the lingering leadership crises caused by
these few dissenting voices in Eziowelle. I thank, Commissioner for Local
Government and Chieftaincy affairs, Mr Collins Nwabunwanne for standing firm
and resolute during my moments of trials.My regards also to the ASATU body and
delegation who came to monitor today's election. I will not forget his Majesty,
Igwe Mike Okonkwo Etusi (Owelle Eziowelle), history will not forget his great
achievements for our community", Akpudo said.
After commending the
illustrious sons and daughters of Eziowelle for their contribution towards
development of the community and standing for peace, Akpudo advised the
incoming EXCO never to fight the throne but rather seek collaboration and
counsels that will promote peace, unity and progress of the entire community.
Earlier in his acceptance
speech, Dr. Julian Obiora appreciated the electoral committee led by Chief Dr.
Laz Okafor, the outgoing EIU EXCO and the entire Eziowelle people who came from
far and near to choose him as their leader.
"I am elated and at the
same time ready to give my best to the progress of my community. I will begin
with restoring peace and unity. I will ensure that our health center is
equipped and upgraded to a general hospital with resident doctors. For
Infrastructure, with the help of my exco and the cabinet we will also attract
sponsors to construct and asphalt our intra community roads," Obiora said.
