At a news conference, Igwe Ben Anochie, the traditional king of the Umunnachi community, spoke on behalf of the traditional leaders of the other five communities that make up the council area. He said there was a need to encourage as many people as possible to work in agriculture.
“We are urging our constituents to make sure they take part in the next elections by casting informed ballots for the candidates they believe in.
“It is essential that we continue to promote the full participation of our people in democratic processes and make sure that trustworthy and people-centered leaders emerge for the better good of everyone.
