A youth group, Ebem Ohafia United Front has expressed sadness over the bad state of the road leading to the home of the Paramount Ruler of the community, Eze Ukoha Kalu Ukoha, Kpoke 1 Ekelougo Ebem Ohafia.
The National President of the group, Comrade Ojo Kalu in an interaction with ABN TV, stated that the palliative works carried out last year on the road was done by the royal father himself.
He wondered why the appropriate authorities have not intervened to alleviate the suffering of the community.
Comrade Kalu emphasized that this has affected the economic and social lives of the people, calling on state government and representatives of the community at state and National Assembly to save the community from the hardship infested by the state of the road.
“Our traditional institution in Igbo land has not been accorded with the needed honour and this is just an example of it. This cannot happen in the North or West. I see it as shameful and embarrassing. No car can drive to the king’s palace. This is not something to be happy about and I think it’s an indictment on all of us” he said.
He called on well to do sons and daughters of Ebem to put hands together and ensure that the community is saved from further embarrassment for immediately mobilizing resources to effect repair work on the road.
