Igwe Alfred Achebe, the Obi of Onitsha , yesterday, frowned at the decision of All Progressives Congress, APC, to hold its governorship flag off on the day he was rounding up his annual Ofala festival.
According to Vanguard, the Monarch said it was very disrespectful for a political party, in spite of almost one year notice for the Ofala, to fix its rally the same day and out of annoyance, struck his symbol of tradition three times to express his feelings.
In his speech, Obi expressed surprise that Chris Ngige, a true Igbo son, who is supposed to understand, would allow his party to fix a rally in Onitsha the same day the Obi of Onitsha was performing Ofala festival.
The monarch called on the people of the state to continue to respect traditional institution, adding that no politician would try such a thing in APC- controlled state.
He added that he enjoyed good and harmonious relationship with Governor Peter Obi, who, he said, accorded him due respect punctuated by reciprocity, adding that he was behind him in the quest for Anambra North to produce the next governor in the spirit of equity and fairness.
