The election of the new Eze in Oru West LGA
Reporting from Oru West Local Government, on the incident, I personally witnessed at Thank School Primary Government School.
And being an indigene of the town being reported, I can boost of the full detail on what happened.
The night before the day of the incident it has already been announced by an MC called One Nigeria, who during his announcement made it know that the election of the new Igwe (King) will be coming up the next morning.
This had also be announced on the radio station few days before the deal day came. In the morning of the day of the election which was today 30th July 2016. It was announced on the radio once again that the election has been canceled. This news was pass to those that came early enough for the election by Mr Maduagu Dabam, who was the appointed chairman.
This breaking new was rejected by everyone even me, we all want the election to be done once and for all. Later it came to our notice that the cancellation of the election was the handwork of our Prime minister. Who has been against us right from the start. The prime minister Mr. Ezebuala Alams has been a greedy man, known by every man. He wrote a petition to the Government against us, which made the Government cancel the election.
As known to be stubborn they disagreed and still insist on having their election. As this controversy was going on. The rain started falling, which made everyone go in search of shelter. This rain continued till approximately 02:00 pm. After which controversy continues, a few hours after the noise making went down a bit. Anouncement continues by Mr Azubuike Osike with the help of a microphone. The announcement was saying that everyone should move into the hall for the election, none indigenes should find their way out of the hall. The elders and the contestants gradually moved into the hall and settled down.
A few minutes from then, NTA Owerri arrived with their cameras to pick up the incident that was about to occur. The election would have started but, there had to wait for the group from owerri. Who appeared in no time and for the election to commence. It was, this time, the cancellation news came in again and scatter everything, this made the contestant go outside. The two contestant where Mr fred and Mr Jude. Controversy arised again, and there was confusion, still they insisted on going on with their election. Once more everyone reunited in the hall, still the noise making was loud at the point that the nearly started a fight if not for the officers.
Few hours after that, the election started. and ended, with with Mr Jude as the Eze (King)
