The Coalition of South East Youth Leaders (COSEYL) has accused Governor Charles Soludo of acting like a dictator against Anambra’s traditional rulers.

The coalition’s president-general, Goodluck Ibem, said in a statement on Friday.

The group called Mr Soludo’s treatment of Anambra’s traditional institution anti-democratic.

“The law banning conferment of chieftaincy titles to people outside the domain of a stool without the state government’s approval is dictatorial, anti-democratic, anti-people and barbaric.

“It is not a law but a decree because it does not represent the interest of the people.

“Governor Soludo should focus more on providing democracy dividends to the people,” stated the coalition.

According to the group, the law banning the conferment of chieftaincy title without the state government’s approval deprives the people of their traditional rights and privileges.

Through the Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Community Affairs, the Anambra government suspended a traditional ruler for conferring a chieftaincy title on Ifeanyi Ubah. 

It threatened others if they did not reverse the recognition.

Three traditional rulers bowed to pressure by apologising to the governor for conferring such titles and withdrew them.
