Following his recognition by the Anambra State Government earlier this year, Igwe Timothy Ifurunwa of Ihite has hosted members of Orumba South Traditional Ruler’s Council in what he called familiarization visit, during which he commended Governor Chukwuma Soludo for ensuring transparency in his ascension to the throne.
During the event held at Igwe’s Palace Ihite and attended by four past Presidents-General of the community, former cabinet members that worked with their late Igwe, and which featured installation of new cabinet members, Igwe Ifurunwa described Ihite as a town of wonderful people, and promised to reign with transparency to speed up development of the community, even as he commended the state government for installing solar lights at the community health center built through community efforts, expressing hope that roads in the community will receive government attention in due course.
Confirming Igwe Ifurunwa’s acceptance among members, the Chairman of Orumba South Traditional Rulers Council and Traditional Ruler of Owerre-Ezukala, Igwe Thomas Ogbonnaya, commended Ihite people for choosing Igwe Ifurunwa, and Governor Soludo for recognizing him.
On his part, a two-term Chairman of Orumba South Local Government Area and indigene of the community, Chief Cyprain Okereke, who emphasized that Igwe Ifurunwa has all it takes to take Ihite to greater heights, wished him longer years on the throne, while the President General of Ihite Development Union, Mr George Madu, who recalled his promise to his people that he would midwife seamless emergence of a Traditional Ruler for the community, said he has been relieved of certain burdens he was shouldering alone as the President General, and urged other communities without Traditional Rulers in the area to emulate Ihite.
