**Awka Traditional Stool Crisis: Soludo Sets Up Probe Panel** Ndi Anambra, the story unfolding in our beloved Awka, the capital of Anambra State, is one that has left many tongues wagging. The dispute surrounding the traditional stool of the state's capital has been a source of concern for some time now, and it's a situation that requires immediate attention. In response to this challenge, Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo has taken a bold step by constituting a Commission of Inquiry to investigate and resolve the crisis. The commission, led by the respected former Chief Judge of Anambra State, Hon. Justice Paul Obidigwe (Rtd), has been tasked with delivering its report within a specific timeframe. This panel, comprising experts and respected community leaders, will conduct a thorough and impartial inquiry into the remote and immediate causes of the dispute. Their mandate includes determining whether the dethronement of Chief Gibson Nwosu, the Ezeuzu II, was justified, and whether Chief Austin Ndigwe's installation as the 3rd substantive monarch of the community was legitimate. The stakes are high, and the implications of this crisis are far-reaching. The traditional stool of Awka is revered and holds a significant place in the cultural heritage of our state. It's essential that this dispute is resolved in a manner that respects our traditions and ensures the stability of the community. Governor Soludo's decision to set up this probe panel is a welcome development, and we have every confidence that the commission will deliver a report that will bring an end to this crisis. As we await the outcome of this inquiry, we urge all stakeholders to remain calm and cooperate with the commission. This is an opportunity for us to put our differences aside and work towards a resolution that will benefit our community and our state as a whole. The people of Awka and the entire Anambra State deserve a peaceful and harmonious resolution to this crisis, and we have no doubt that this probe panel will help achieve that.
