The highlight of the visit was the proposal to nominate HRM Eze Dr. E.C. Okeke as an AFCO International Traditional Royal Father.

"Your Royal Majesty, your reputation as a custodian of culture, a unifying force across Imo State, and the esteemed Chairman of the South East Council of Ndi Eze makes you the ideal personality for our organisation," said Prince Chuks Esiole.

"We are here not only to solicit your invaluable support for PAC-FEST but to formally propose your nomination as an AFCO International Traditional Royal Father, guiding our efforts to promote African cultural heritage globally."

HRM Eze Dr. E.C. Okeke, CFR, Eze Imo, received the AFCO delegation warmly, expressing appreciation for the honour and the vision behind PAC-FEST. He acknowledged the importance of culture in nation-building and economic development.

The Eze Imo commended AFCO for its initiative to unite the continent through arts and production, assuring the delegation of his continuous support for projects that positively impact the youth and promote the rich heritage of Imo State and the South East region.
