Nnewi PG dismisses reported pull-out threat by Nnewi Ichi, insists elective tenure is four years
By Vincent Ujumadu The President-General of Nzuko Ora Nnewi, Prince Jude Osumuo, has dismissed reports that Nnewi Ichi, one of the four quarters of Nnewi in Anambra State, is threatening to withdraw from the community’s umbrella body over the tenure of the Mayor of Nnewi North Local Government Area.
Osumuo said Nzuko Ora Nnewi recognises a four-year rotational tenure for elective offices within the community and that issues relating to the statutory tenure of local government chairmen are matters for the government to determine.
The differing positions on the zoning arrangement and tenure of the local government chairmanship remain a subject of discussion among stakeholders in the community.
