 AWKA MONARCHY CRISIS: OZO SOCIETY BACKS PANEL, AWAITS SOLODO’S FINAL WORD


The lingering battle over Awka’s revered “Eze Uzu” stool has taken a decisive turn, as the town’s influential Ozo title holders signal cautious support for the outcome of a state-backed inquiry—while stopping short of full endorsement.


At a meeting in Awka, the group aligned itself with the panel that affirmed Gibson Nwosu as the rightful traditional ruler. However, the society insists its final position hinges on the release of the government’s White Paper.

According to him, once the state government formalizes the panel’s recommendations, the Ozo society will fully align with its decision.


The panel, chaired by retired Justice Paul Obidigwe, had delivered a firm verdict after weeks of deliberations. It ruled that Nwosu’s removal was unlawful, citing a lack of fair hearing and declaring the action null and void. It also dismissed the emergence of rival claimant Austin Ndigwe, describing the process as a breach of due procedure.
