Barely few weeks after feuding with Governor Chukwuma Soludo over some traditional matters in Anambra State, traditional ruler of Onitsha, Obi Alfred Achebe, has received a delegation of All Progressives Congress (APC) to his palace.
The delegation was led by South-East National Vice Chairman of the party, Ijeomah Arodiogbu.
Addressing the monarch on behalf of the leaders, Arodiogbu said despite the seeming disapproval of the party by the Igbo, the surest way to link up with the centre and enjoy the dividends of democracy, is to support the APC, assuring that the party has tremendous respect for the traditional institution.
“Let me state that the APC under my watch will always respect and consider traditional rulers as important storehouses of wisdom, and would regularly seek such priceless counsel at all given times,” he said.
Achebe, who received the party leaders thanked Dr. Arodiogbu and his team for the visit, and wished them well in their consultations.
