ENUGU—TENSION is mounting at Amangwu, Obuofia, Awkunanaw in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State, over alleged move to install a new traditional ruler for the community.

It is being alleged that an influential native of the community is planning to impose a particular candidate against the popular choice of the people.

Concerned individuals and groups in the community including the secretary of the town union Mr. Sunday Ugwu, who briefed newsmen on the development in Enugu accused a former Accountant-General of the State Mr. Chinyeaka Ohaa of fueling the crisis in the community.

But when contacted, Ohaa dismissed the allegation as false describing it as mere fabrications by people  looking for relevance and are hungry for power.

The town union secretary explained that the traditional stool was declared vacant and nomination called for in line with the constitution of the community which he noted prescribes a minimum of secondary school certificate as qualification for the traditional stool.
