Eze Isaac Ikonne, the traditional ruler of Eziama Aba
in Aba North is currently receiving some stick from his fellow Monarchs
over his decision to confer the title of Ogbuagu 1 (Killer of Tiger) of
Aba Kingdom on the All Progressives Congress (APC), General Muhammadu
Buhari, when the latter visited the monarch as part of the APC
presidential campaign rally in Aba, Abia State.
Reports state that members of the Abia State Traditional Rulers’ Council have
asked Eze Ikonne to step down over the title, warning him to keep off
partisan politics.
Eze Eberechi Dick, the Chairman of the council of
traditional rulers in Abia State stated that Eze Ikonne does not have
sufficient powers to bestow such a title on behalf of the people of Aba
as he (Eze Ikonne) is King over Eziama autonomous community, which is
just one out of the over 400 autonomous communities that make up Aba.
Eze Dick also said Eze Ikonne needed the consent of
other traditional leaders for such a titled to be conferred on anyone,
wondering why his Eziama Aba counterpart would act on his own.
