Hon Darlington Awazie, aka Dele



The Traditional Prime Minister of Awomukwu Autonomous Community in Ikwuano LGA of Abia State, Chief Christian Ugwuka on Monday urged members of the Community and the general public to ignore a false story circulating on the social media to the effect that the President-General of the Community, Hon Darlington Awazie,  also known as Dele has been impeached.


"Hon Darlington Awazie is the PG of Awomukwu Autonomous Community and he remains in office till December 27, 2024 when his tenure will expire. I am the Traditional Prime Minister of Awomukwu, and I am not aware of any meeting convened for the purpose of discussing the  PG's office, talkless of impeaching the current PG", Ugwuja told dailyledger.com.ng at Awomukwu.


Chief Ugwuka who expressed surprise and anger over the circulating story fingered mischievous persons and persons engaging in nefarious activities as being behind the fake new.


"I know that Hon Awazie took great risks in his attempts get rid of criminal elements harassing the Community. I suspect they may be behind this attempt to cause disaffection in the community, but their plans are dead on arrival", Ugwuka added 


In his reaction to allegations that Awuzie to was involved in financial malfeasance, Ugwuka dismissed it as fabrications from the pit of hell.   "We hold our annual general meetings in December when Awomukwu people, home and abroad gather to deliberate on matters affecting the community and it is at such meetings that the PG is compelled to present his statement of account to the AGM"


He also dismissed allegations that anybody was banished from the community on account of corrupt practices.


Also speaking on the development and describing the fake news as the handiwork of enemies of progress, a community leader, Chief Donatus Ndimele affirmed that Darlington Awazie's tenure has not expired nor had he been impeached.


"Awomukwu people had never had it so good under a PG. Hon Awazie is an excellent man and he was duly elected by Awomukwu community and he is still in office. Talking about accountability, I recall somebody who served as PG for 16 years and till date, he has not rendered account, another person who recently served for three years did not render account after his tenure. My point is that nobody has ever been called to render account in the middle of his tenure. Hon Awazie's tenure has not expired, but we all know that at the AGM, he would be made to render account", Chief Ndimele, a retired senior police officer said 

Efforts to speak with Hon Awazie failed as calls to him were unanswered
