The fifteen communities in Orumba South Local Government Area of Anambra state have adopted an official zoning framework and political rotational charter for all elective and appointive positions.
The Possitions include the Chairman and Deputy for the local government, Orumba South state Constituency and Supervisory Councilors.
The aim was to promote unity, political stability, equitable representation, and sustainable development across the area.
The resolution was reached at the conclusion of an Extraordinary General Assembly of Orumba South stakeholders, which further stipulated that out of the three zones, no zone shall retain any political position for more than two consecutive tenures.
The Chairman of Orumba local government Area, Mr Shadrach Azubuike used the occasion to present three Sienna buses, three motorcycles, and other security equipment to Agunechemba Security Outfit to enhance local security operations, while leading stakeholders on an inspection of the ultra-modern Solution Digital Academy and the Orumba South Security Control Room.
Mr Azubuike commended the communities and stakeholders for embracing the zoning charter, noting that it reflects the collective desire for fairness and balanced political participation, while assuring that the strengthened security system will provide a safe environment for governance and community development.
In their remarks, a former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Doctor Emeka Sibeudu, a former House of Representatives Member for Orumba North and South, Mr Ben Nwankwo, and a prominent stakeholder, Chief Arinze Onwuzuluike, as well as the President General of Nawfija, Mr. Oforbuike Okoli lauded the adoption of the rotational charter and described it as a visionary step that will minimize political tension, discourage unhealthy rivalry, and guarantee peaceful transitions across the zones.
Radio Nigeria correspondent Uche Ndeke reports that the stakeholders applauded the council’s investments in security, noting that peace and stability are critical for the successful implementation of the new political arrangement.
