The Ndiowu community in Orumba North Local Government Area of Anambra State has elected Chief Chibuzo Okekeifi as the new traditional ruler, bringing an end to an 11-year vacancy on the royal stool. He now assumes the title of Ezediọramma II of Ndiowu.
The throne became vacant following the passing of the former monarch, Ezediọramma I, Eze O. Udeh. Since then, the community had remained without a crowned ruler until the recent process that led to the emergence of the new monarch.
Community leaders and residents described the development as a turning point in Ndiowu’s traditional history. They said the return of a monarch has restored order to the traditional institution and renewed a sense of unity among indigenes at home and abroad.
A prominent community leader, Chief Joseph Onuorah, said the election of Ezediọramma II marked the beginning of a new phase for Ndiowu. He noted that the process was calm and widely accepted, adding that it reflected cooperation among stakeholders.
The Anambra State Government was also praised for creating conditions that allowed the selection to take place without conflict. The state Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, TonyCollins Nwabunne, and the Chairman of Orumba North Local Government Area, Retired Captain Casmir Nwafor, were credited for guiding the process within the law.
Members of the community expressed confidence that the new monarch would focus on peace, youth development, and steady growth across Ndiowu and its villages. Many believe his reign will strengthen communal ties and support development efforts in the area.
With the installation of Ezediọramma II, Ndiowu residents say the community is ready to move forward after more than a decade without a traditional ruler.
