Osita Chidoka’s Passionate Prayers to Crowning 14th New Asagba of Asaba
By Ahabamnews
I met him in 1995 as a special Assistant to then Minister of Justice and Attorney General, Michael K.A.Agbamuche, SAN, who was my father’s Lawyer before his appointment.
His brilliance is widely acknowledged. His scholarly output is as profound as it is profile.
He taught me Constitutional Law at Baze University – a brilliant teacher.
His ascension to the ancient throne of forebears marks another dimension of Igbo traditional institution.
The next generation of Igbo traditional Leaders must meet the standard of the new 14th Asagba. Knowledge, educated, exposed, modern traditional and global.
Asaba got it right, from Professor Chike Joseph Edozien to Professor Epiphany Chigbuaogu Azinge, they avoided the rush to the bottom syndrome plaguing Nigeria’s political space, where a progressive love of mediocrity marks the choice of successors.
Across the land, Leaders and Communities appear to celebrate the elevation of successful charlatans and nincompoops in a flagrant rejection of decency, intellect and ability.
