by admin01269

His Royal Highness Chief Dr. Samuel N. Amaechi, the Ogbugaa 1 of Igbo-Etche clan, has described the installation of Chief Hon. Ephraim Nwuzi, the former chairman of Etche Local Government Area, as the Ekweme 1 of Etche Ethnic nationality as a honour well deserved.
In a chat with journalists during the installation ceremony at Ndashi, Etche LGA, the royal father who noted that it was a good idea to honour one who has impacted on the lives of his people positively, recalled the developmental strides embarked upon by Chief Hon. Ephraim Nwuzi during his tenure as the Etche LGA chairman which includes building of Ultra modern council secretariat, construction of roads, building of market, security, among others.
He said his crown as the Ekweme 1 of Etche land given to him by HRM Eze E.N.B Opurum, the Onyesi Etche, was an indication that the people of Etche appreciated the good work he has done during his tenure as the chairman of Etche LGA.
Dr. Amaechi who is also the Onye Ishi Igbo Agwuruasaa noted that peace is a panacea for development in every community and urged Hon. Nwuzi to co-operate with chiefs and elders of Etche land and join hands with other chiefs of the area to maintain lasting peace in the area.
He also advised him to make an input where necessary to ensure development in Etche land.
The royal father called on all Etche sons and daughters, to eschew bitterness, avoid acrimony, forgive one another and join hands together to bring development which would go a long way to move Etche forward in the scheme of things.
Performing the installation ceremony on chief Hon. Nwuzi, HRM Eze E. N.B Opurum the Onyeshi Etche noted that the council of Etche traditional rulers decided to honour him due to his excellent performance while in office, describing him as more than qualified for the chieftaincy title bestowed on him.
Eze Opurum who also decorated Chief Hon. Ephraim Nwuzi’s wife, Stella Nwuzi, as Obuete of Okehi clan, noted that it was good to crown his wife as well as ‘behind every successful man there is a woman’.
In his response, Chief Hon. Ephraim Nwuzi while thanking Eze Opurum, the Etche council of traditional rulers and the entire People of Etche for the honour done him and his wife, promised to uphold and cooperate with the chiefs of the council as well as bring development to move Etche forward. ###

Allow Me To work, Jonathan Tells Opposition, PDP President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has told opposition members and members of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP splinter group to allow him concentrate and work for the people of Nigeria. He noted that the current political impasse are deliberately orchestrated to distract the administration’s ongoing transformation agenda in the critical sectors of the economy. President Jonathan also gave a veiled insight into his second term ambition stressing that the Nigerian Constitution provides a two term of eight years only for anyone elected as president. Nigerian Constitution Mandates Me To Run For Two Terms Says President Jonathan. Speaking at a lunch with Nigerian Professionals in New York, United States (US), Mr. Jonathan urged those fanning the ember of disintegration in the country to refrain from doing so as the interests of Nigeria is greater than that of any individual. According to him “already we have a constitution that makes provision for maximum of eight years for anyone who wants to become a president or a governor. There is no president or governor that all citizens vote for but at the end of the election if somebody emerges you must allow the person to work. If you love your country you would want your country to work. That does not mean that you will not vote against the person if you don’t like the way he works but you must allow him to work”. Mr. Jonathan urged the political class in the country to drop the do or die approach to politics urging them to allow him concentrate on his core mandate of governance. In an apparent reference to the political crisis in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the tantrum been thrown around by the opposition parties in the country, the president said political leaders in the country must be mindful of what they say or do in order not to undermine the sovereignty of Nigeria. According to Mr.Jonathan “we appeal to our colleagues politicians that no matter how you feel about the political situation consider the interest of your country first before yourself”. He added “if you are struggling to enter a house you must not put dynamite to destroy the house. By the time you get there there will be no house for you to stay. So first and foremost we must collectively build our country. Don’t bother about who is there now because power is transient, very very temporary”. On whether his administration was doing enough to tackle the issue of corruption in Nigeria, the president said “so many people are saying we are not doing well in fighting corruption and before you say that, there must be a parameter for judging us. What are the yardsticks they are using to judge us?” Justifying the efforts of his government in addressing the problem of corruption Mr. Jonathan said before the advent of his government, the Federal Government was spending a whopping N25 billion on fertiliser with only a 11 percent reach to the farmers stressing that since the coming on board of his administration, “government now spends between N5-6 Billion on fertiliser and we are getting 80 per cent reach. If we wanted to continue to steal money or look for money for election, we could have continued”. In the area of privatisation of power sector, he said the government conducted the over $3 billion exercise in the most transparent manner. “Yes we have not yet reached where we want to reach but we are making progress,” he said. Mr. Jonathan told the august gathering that his administration has made significant progress in the area revival of rail transportation, aviation, road construction and other infrastructure. “The team that I am working with we are doing our best to make sure that our country works”.
