Alor, the home town of Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has rejected the reinstatement of its embattled traditional ruler, Igwe Mac Anthony Okonkwo, saying the lifting of the suspension by Governor Willie Obiano, meant nothing to them.
According to a section of the community, Okonkwo is no longer the traditional ruler of Alor, adding that the people have since selected and crowned Igwe Ebelechukwu Chukwumesili as their new monarch.
Vanguard recalls that Okonkwo and eleven other traditional rulers in Anambra State, were suspended for one year by Governor Obiano few months ago for visiting Abuja without permission from the state government.
