Confusion in Imo state over who is Eze Imo between Ohiri and Ilomuanya

The traditional ruler of Orodo commu­nity in Mbaitoli local council of Imo State, Eze Agunwa Ohiri has in­sisted that he remains the au­thentic
chairman of the state council of traditional rulers in spite of the recent Supreme Court judgement, saying that Eze Cletus Ilomunanya has ceased to be a traditional rul­er when the state government disposed him last year.
This was just as the mon­arch reiterated that Eze Cletus Ilomunanya can no longer func­tion as a traditional ruler in the state.
“The leadership of the Imo state council of traditional rul­ers (Eze Imo) has not changed in spite of the recent Supreme court ruling because Mr. Cle­tus Ilomunanya is no longer a traditional ruler having been deposed as the Obi of Obingwu by the state government and an­other monarch installed in his stead who has been attending meetings of the traditional rul­ers of Orlu and Imo state”, he stated.
He stressed that Ilomunanya “cannot attend such meetings because he is no longer a tra­ditional ruler and the Supreme Court in its ruling did not say that he is still the traditional rul­er of his community. Even if he were still to be a traditional ruler his five year tenure elapsed by last month January 28, 2015”.
He insisted that the prereq­uisite of being a member of the Imo state council of traditional rulers is that you must be an Eze recognized by the state govern­ment.
“Imo state government has withdrawn his certIficate of recognition and staff of office since last year July so Cletus Ilomunanya is only parading himself as Eze in Abuja because the only constitutional authority that can recognize anybody as a traditional ruler is the state gov­ernment and not the presidency or the National Assembly and he risked being sent to jail for parading himself as the tradi­tional ruler”.
