Prince (Dr) Chinedu Ikeanyi (Ozo Nwawelugo) on October 9, 2025 sent an open letter to Hon. Commissioner for Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, Tony Collins Nwabunwanne to rescue Enugwu-Agidi from what he described as the bondage of President-General Ebuka Onuorah.
According to the content of the letter, Enugwu-Agidi town is made up of ten villages. Geo-politically, it is considered a part of Awka Capital Territory with her enormous land mass.
Culturally and traditionally, Enugwu-Agidi shares the same ancestral patrilineage with Enugwu-Ukwu, Nawfia and Nri towns who are collectively known as Umunri Clan.
This ancestral heritage, the account revealed, is important which has influence on the indigenes of Enugwu-Agidi people.
“For many years, Enugwu-Agidi has been known as a peaceful town with enormous joy and unity among her indigenes, villages, and with her neighboring towns and communities. Like so many communities, we, the indigenes of Enugwu-Agidi self-developed our town with functional infrastructure.
“In 1978 we built our first secondary school, Enugwu-Agidi Community Secondary School, formerly known as Enugwu-Agidi Girls’ Secondary School, and in 1979, we built the Enugwu-Agidi Technical School (GTC), a secondary school for our boys; rural electrification in 1985 and first tarred road in 1987.
“Other developmental projects followed through successive and productive leaderships of our town union, the Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU) Nigeria. Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU) Nigeria is the umbrella organization responsible for the administrative leadership of Enugwu-Agidi town union.
“This socio-cultural organization whose membership is made of every Enugwu-Agidi male indigene from 18 years old is governed by a Constitution known as the EBU-Nigeria Constitution. EBU-Nigeria has over 28 branches all over Nigeria and members of EBU-Nigeria Executive are elected every three years in a general elections usually conducted in December.
“While our traditional ruler, HRM Igwe M.C. Okekeuche remains the cultural leader and father of the community, the elected executive of EBU-Nigeria provides the administrative leadership.
Many successive administrations of EBU leadership have done their best to provide quality services to our community.
“However, we now have a leadership team that has turned Enugwu-Agidi upside town. Specifically, the current leadership of EBU-Nigeria, Mr Chukwuebuka “Ebuka” David Onuorah has introduced untold violence and mayhem in Enugwu-Agidi.
“Honorable Commissioner, I appeal to you to use your good offices to address the serial violations of the rights of the indigenes of Enugwu-Agidi, “Prince Ifeanyi appealed.
