*Monarchs should be made to cater for their communities<\/p>\n

BY BASHIR ADEFAKA<\/strong><\/p>\n

IGWE Ezeoba Alex Nwokedi, OON, the Uthokpo Na Eze Achalla and immediate past chairman, Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers, was press secretary to the Head of State during the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo.\u00a0 He also served in the same capacity with Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).\u00a0 The 78-year old distinguished journalist- turned monarch speaks to Vanguard on his experience as Chief Olusegun Obasanjo\u2019s Press Secretary.<\/strong><\/em> Excerpts:<\/p>\n

As Nigeria moves toward\u00a0 the April 2011 elections, to what extent would you say the traditional institution, in which you are a major figure, has worked in ensuring successful and better Nigeria through the electioneering process?<\/strong><\/em>
Our best and sincere contribution toward achieving successful and better Nigeria with the coming elections is by community awareness on the need to ensure peace, security and progress.\u00a0 I have read in newspapers people talking about constitutional roles for traditional rulers in the new Constitution.\u00a0 I\u2019m telling you frankly that traditional rulers should be confined to their respective communities for peace and security and to take care of their communities.<\/p>\n

If it is enshrined in the Constitution that traditional rulers should be responsible for peace, security and progress in their communities, it will be a very good development.<\/p>\n

But if you start thinking of having House of Lords, it is not desirable.\u00a0 All these things have been abolished all over the world.\u00a0 So how can you, in the context of Nigeria, start talking about national this, national that, which eventually will be abolished?\u00a0 You wrote about it in your editorials and I agree with you.\u00a0 We, as traditional rulers, have a lot to do in our various communities and we should be confined there to take care of our communities.\u00a0 Okay?<\/p>\n

Come to think of it, what is that constitutional role that they are talking about?\u00a0 To me, constitutional role means that it should be put in the Constitution what our duty should be.\u00a0 Is that not constitutional role?\u00a0 And I said our duty, first and foremost, is that we should be made to take care of our communities.<\/p>\n

Specifically, what has been your role toward the success of this election process in your own Achalla community?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

During the voters\u2019 registration exercise, I made sure that my people participated entirely in the exercise because, in the sensitisation that I did, I told them the first step to achieve free and fair election was to have successful voters\u2019 registration.\u00a0 And they all took to my word and got registered.\u00a0 And when the INEC people arrived for the registration and they had no light to work, I immediately mobilised the people and they got generators to power their machines and that itself was a big support for the exercise.\u00a0 You see what I mean by saying traditional rulers should take care of their communities?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Igwe Nkwokedi<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During the administration of Governor Mbadinuju of Anambra State and Chief Olusegun Obasanjo as President, you were installed Chairman, Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers.\u00a0 How did you emerge and how does your former boss, Obasanjo, relate with you now as a foremost traditional ruler in the country?<\/strong><\/em>
What I can tell you is that I emerged Chairman Anambra State Council of Traditional Rulers through the normal process.\u00a0 President Obasanjo at that time used to give me my due respect as traditional ruler and he still does as former President.\u00a0 As President at that time, whenever he came to Anambra State, he used to visit me.\u00a0 He even came once in a helicopter to visit me at Achalla.\u00a0 He gave me my due respect when he was President of Nigeria and he still respects me as such.<\/p>\n

And when he was being given the chieftaincy title by the entire traditional rulers in Anambra State under my leadership, I had the honour of installing him\u00a0 with the title just the way he had the honour of conferring on me the national honour of the Officer of the Order of the Niger, OON.\u00a0 He was given various titles of Prince of Uthokpo, Orji which is known as Iroko in Yoruba language, and he was installed as one who instilled unity in the country.<\/p>\n

How did Uthokpo, which is your Kingship title, come to being?<\/strong><\/em>
By ancestral background we are from Igala.\u00a0 Uthokpo was the first son of the King of Igala.\u00a0 He was an elephant hunter and that was what he did that took him to Achalla.\u00a0 When he got to Achalla, he moved about six kilometres toward Awka and then established another town called Isu.\u00a0 Where he was buried an Iroko tree was planted there.\u00a0 But I showed you where he was buried when you came to Achalla.\u00a0 A tree was planted there and it\u2019s still there up till today.<\/p>\n

A lot of credit\u00a0 has been given to your eldest brother, Justice Paul Nwokedi for the creation of Akwa North Local Government.\u00a0 The council is said to have suffered lack of development over the years.\u00a0 How is the new administration doing now, in your own assessment as the paramount ruler of the Kingdom?<\/strong><\/em>
The administration\u00a0 there now is doing very well.\u00a0 We thank God we have a good and performing chairman in the person of Chike. The roads are now tarred. You\u2019ve been to the Local Government and you saw the development going on there.\u00a0 When the whole thing is fully organised, as I am aware, they are going to build a big market that will be an improvement on the agricultural market in Achalla.<\/p>\n

That market is going to be the only agricultural market in the whole of Anambra State.\u00a0 The Onitsha market is more or less a spare parts market; similarly Nnewi and Awka markets.\u00a0 It\u2019s only at Achalla that you will have the kind of agricultural market because my people are farmers: we have rice, we have yam, we have cassava, we have beans and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n

So that market you saw when you came is the market in the whole of Anambra State where agricultural products are sold in abundance.\u00a0 And during market day the whole community is crowded because people come from all parts of Igbo Land to buy agricultural products.\u00a0 And I must tell you that any market that sells agricultural products will always flourish.<\/p>\n

That is what I tell my people that as long as they keep on producing these agricultural products, their market will always flourish.\u00a0 And that is why Nigeria, as a system, must look at the agricultural sector as an area that needs to be taken more seriously.<\/p>\n

Agriculture has a lot of opportunities for national economic growth and if government invests seriously in it, it will help in creating employment for the jobless and actualise lasting solution to the problems of hunger and poverty that we have faced over the years as a nation.<\/p>\n

During my two-day visit to your palace, I noticed you took a walk round the town abandoning your security and the people were saluting you.\u00a0 Why did you take such a risk at a time kidnapping is rife in this part of the country at the time?<\/strong><\/em>
The way the children and the people generally were shouting Igwe! and all that is a show of the good result a leader will have when he is close to his people and does not isolate himself from them.\u00a0 That is the only thing a leader can do to have safety in this country.<\/p>\n

For example, the school in front of my palace and others, whenever they need my help they come to me and I\u00a0 help them.\u00a0 If what they need requires Local Government or State Government\u2019s attention, I ensure it gets there and that the government did what they needed for them.<\/p>\n

I am very happy that you came to Achalla and I am very happy that you saw how the people, the children were playing with me, coming to me morning and evening.\u00a0 That is what I am in my community and that is why I am safe among my people.<\/p>\n

Can one be right to now say that kidnapping has abated in the East?<\/strong><\/em>
First and foremost, I must say kidnapping used to be a strange\u00a0 thing in our area in the East.\u00a0 People that involved themselves in the act, like I used to say, are people having no jobs and no means of living.\u00a0 I have always said they should be made to get involved in doing something.<\/p>\n

In Achalla for example, my people have no time for such an evil act.\u00a0 They go early in the morning to farm, come back in the evening, enjoy themselves.\u00a0 And what they need is electricity.\u00a0 I thank God Almighty that we now have electricity in the community.<\/p>\n

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was your boss during his time as Head of State of Nigeria between 1976 and 1979.\u00a0 Could you share with us your experience as Press Secretary working with him?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was my boss and he is still my boss.\u00a0 And let me tell you that he was a very listening boss.\u00a0 The Obasanjo that I used to know and I still know is one that would always like you to tell the truth and nothing but the truth.\u00a0 He might however not like it at first when you are tell him that truth but he likes no more or less than being told the truth.<\/p>\n

Are you trying to say it took him much effort to accept the truth?<\/strong><\/em>
At a time, when he was in office as Head of State in those days and I was his Press Secretary, when I was talking to him, he would ask me to leave his office.\u00a0 Later he would call me.\u00a0 He used to call me Ogbuefi.\u00a0 He would say, \u201cOgbuefi, you know, you might be right on that thing you said.\u00a0 Let us meet tomorrow morning and discuss it.\u201d<\/p>\n

At times he would call me around 3am to discuss what I earlier told him.\u00a0 Being the boss, it was left for me to know how to marshal that issue and represent it to him again in a way that it would be very well acceptable to him.<\/p>\n

But to be frank with you, General Obasanjo was a very listening boss.\u00a0 And one fact about him is that, he used to read all memoranda sent to him.\u00a0 If you like, write a 22-page or 25-page memorandum, he would read all, underline them and make remarks.<\/p>\n

So Obasanjo is not a man to be taken lightly.\u00a0 If you are dealing with him, you have to be very well guarded because he\u2019s very thorough!\u00a0 He\u2019s exceptionally thorough.\u00a0 Say anything you like, he would not mind.\u00a0 The only thing you say or do, which could aggravate his anger is for you to say or do anything which threatens the unity of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

I remember when he banned a magazine published then by now late Chris Okoye.\u00a0 That magazine sometime published a very seditious feature so much that when I read it, I called Chris and said, \u201ceven as a person, I can tell you the magazine feature, which you published, is not good.\u00a0 The contents are\u00a0 very bad.\u201d
Then the Head of State called me and said, \u201chave you read what Chris Okoye wrote in his magazine?\u201d I said I had read it.\u00a0 He said, \u201cwhat do you think?\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cwell, take him to court.\u201d\u00a0 And he said, \u201cyou have no solution yet for it and so, you should go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Was he expecting you to advise him to shut down the magazine?<\/strong><\/em>
Well, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 But you just listen.\u00a0 He just told me, \u201cgo, you have no solution to the matter.\u201d\u00a0 Then after about 45 minutes, he invited me again to his office.\u00a0 He said, \u201cOgbuefi, have you thought of what we should do to Chris about this publication?\u201d\u00a0 I said, \u201cexcuse me, Your Excellency I still stand by what I said earlier that he should be taken to court.\u201d\u00a0 He again said I hadn\u2019t got solution and so, that I should leave his office.\u00a0 And I left his office.<\/p>\n

But, at that stage, he should have been able to proffer the solution that would suit him more. Did he give any?
I think that magazine was New Breed.\u00a0 After I left his office, about 30 minutes later, he called me and said, \u201cOgbuefi, I have banned New Breed magazine.\u201d<\/p>\n

And as a journalist, though in government, what was your feeling and reaction to that action?
Honestly speaking, my feet quaked when he said that.\u00a0 I was very sad and he saw it in my face that I wasn\u2019t happy with that action.\u00a0 I immediately left his office, took a car and went straight to Daily Times to see Stanley Macebuh, who was my very good friend.<\/p>\n

On getting to Daily Times, I saw Chris Okoye.\u00a0 I greeted him he didn\u2019t respond.\u00a0 After sometime he said if he had a dagger he would have daggered me\u2026<\/p>\n

Thinking that you were instrumental to his plight?<\/strong><\/em>
Yes.\u00a0 I then went upstairs where the editorial was.\u00a0 There, I saw Macebuh and told him the whole story.\u00a0 Everything; about how I tried to stop the ban and how my boss refused.\u00a0 I told him because he (Macebuh) was my very good friend and confidant.\u00a0 Then he said he was coming to see the Head of State and I said, \u201cdon\u2019t do that now.\u00a0 Let the issue cool down a little.\u201d\u00a0 So I left Daily Times and went back to my office and we continued work as usual.\u00a0 That\u2019s a way to tell you that Obasanjo would not tolerate anything that would break down the unity of Nigeria.<\/p>\n

Also, he would never be tired of working and in those days he used to come to the office 7 o\u2019clock in the morning and if you came at 7.30am you had to apologize for allowing him to come before you even though you were very early.<\/p>\n
