It is worth a mention that several months ago, A leadership crisis surrounded the Umuomaku Community. The situation further left the people without an elected President General of the town union and no Traditional Ruler for the people.
Reportedly, the town was under the control of anarchists, local warlords and power mongers. They made the community ungovernable and unlivable for people living within and outside. This continued until the Soludo government stepped in to restore peace and order.
Most Anambra communities with leadership crises are now peaceful. The government hopes to achieve more success in December as the people prepare to return home for their Annual General Meetings. Here where the people would elect new leaders. The government is ready. Governor Soludo promised to give Ndi Anambra a livable and prosperous homeland.
