The Umunneochi Traditional Rulers’ Advisory Council in Umunneochi LGA of Abia, on Friday, conferred the chieftaincy title of ‘Ike Oha 1 of Umunneochi’ on President Bola Tinubu.
The title means “the strength of the people,” and was conferred on the president at a civic reception, organised at Amuda Isuochi in honour of the immediate past Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Mrs Nkeiruka Onyejeocha.
In a speech, the Chairman of the council and Ezema III of Lokpa, Eze Franklin Ohalezim, said the honour was in appreciation of Tinubu’s decision to appoint Onyejeocha into his cabinet.
“President Tinubu gave our daughter the opportunity to explore her talent and serve her people and society well as minister,” Ohalezim said.
Responding on behalf of the president, the National Welfare Secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Donatus Nwankpa, thanked the royal fathers for the recognition as well as “gifting their daughter for national service”.
Tinubu said that it was difficult for him to accept her resignation and urged the traditional rulers to encourage her as she pursued her next political ambition.
