The Oba community in Idemili South Local Government Area, Anambra State, has said that being wealthy or not, will not be one of their considerations in choosing the replacement for its late traditional ruler, Ezeokpoko Oba, Igwe Peter Ezenwa.
It also said that the contest for who replaces the revered late traditional ruler of Oba, is open to all carders of responsible individuals that will meet up the requirement set by the community, but noted that being or not being rich is not one of the conditions, as it is going to ensure a level playing ground for all contestants to the seat of Ezeokpoko II.
