Imo Traditional Rulers Promise Jonathan Their Votes by tutusaint(m): 9:42pm On Jan 17, 2015
Jaiyeola Andrews and Amby Uneze in Owerri

The Imo Traditional Council on Saturday promised President Goodluck Jonathan their votes in next month's presidential election.

Obi of Obinugwu,‎ Eze Cletus Ilomuany I‎, made the promise when Jonathan led his campaign team on a courtesy visit to the royal father's palace in Owerri, Imo State capital.

"It is when you return that they will know your worth. We are going to give you the royal blessings and the oldest traditional ruler is here and will give you the royal blessings", he said.

In the short ceremony, President Jonathan pledged that his administration‎ will do its best to assist in the development of the state.

He thanked the traditional rulers for their support in 2011 polls and appealed for all PDP candidates to be voted for in next month's general elections.

Cletus Ilomunya is not a traditional ruler. He was deposed few years ago by the Okorocha's government for his alleged direct involvement in partisan politics and his Obinugwu community in Orlu not Owerri has since appointed another traditional ruler. How can he have a palace in Owerri when he is from Orlu?
Can Oni of Ife have a palace in Ijebuland?

The story of IBB and the Dasukis comes to mind here.

Rochas will be sacked from Douglas house on February 14 and Ilomuanya will be re-instated

First you agreed that he is not a traditional ruler. Why didn't you say that? And wait until Rochas is gone, but as things stands, he is not a traditional ruler.
As for comparing him with Dasuki is a misnomer. First, Dasuki is a royal by birth, neither Ilomuanya's father nor his grandfather was a king. A former 419ers among those Udenwa divided many communities in order to make them Eze.
