Similarly, Igwe Eze conferred the title of “Agu Naechemba Ndigbo” on the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Abdullahi Umar Ganduje.
The title “Agu Naechemba” means “Lion that protects the public,” and “Enyi Ndigbo” means “Friend of the Igbo People”.
The monarch conferred the titles on the two leaders during the 32nd Ofala festival of Ukpo Dunukofia on Saturday.
The festival was organised and sponsored by Prince Arthur Eze and took place at Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State.
Speaking during the occasion, Igwe Eze, particularly said the chieftaincy title was conferred on Ganduje because he is one of the leading de-tribalism politicians in Nigeria and how he protected the Igbos while he was governor of Kano State.
