Over Thirty Two Eze elects in Imo appear to be in dilemma given the inability of the State Government to issue them staff of office Two years after concluding and completing the required processes .
Investigation carried out by Lead revealed that out of fifty six Autonomous Communities that are yet to be recognised by the State Government, Thirty Two are yet to be recognised by the State Government Two years after.
Some of the affected Ezes who spoke to Lead on the guise of anonymity expressed disappointment pointing out that the continued delay in recognising them had shattered their plans as they now find it difficult to take decisions as family men.
One of the Ezes who gave his name as Chief Chuka Iheneme revealed that he has been in Nigeria for the past Two years after returning from the United States and that had according him has affected his business over there while he has nothing tangible doing in Nigeria adding that Governor should rather give them date for the issuance of the staff to enable them plan.
According to the Speaker, since the Government has not recognised them by issuing them the Staff of office, there is a limit to the functions they can carry out in their respective communities.
It would be recalled that Lead Express had in one of her previous editions, reported the porous State of some Imo Communities in the areas of security .
In the said publication, Lead revealed findings that most of the hoodlums now take the advantage of the absence of Chief Security Officers in certain Communities to cause mahem.
Meanwhile,a source from the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs hinted Lead that the Ministry had concluded their own part of the bargain and now waits for the Governor to issue the concerned persons with the Staff of Office.
