Despite the challenges, the Eze expressed appreciation for the overwhelming support received from the community, emphasizing the importance of unity in realizing the new Aro project. This transformative initiative encompasses education, health, agriculture, technology, and security, showcasing a holistic approach to community development.
Eze Aro IX reassured the public that Aro remains calm, peaceful, and welcoming. He encouraged everyone to go about their normal business, remaining law-abiding and security-conscious. The security agencies are actively involved in maintaining order and safety.
The message concluded with a call for prayers for the country and the State of Abia. Eze Godwin Kanu Idei Kanu Okoro Oke urged the community to uphold the Executive Governor, Dr. Alex Chioma Otti OFR, in prayers for a better and prosperous Abia.
In facing challenges beyond their control, the Eze called upon Nde Ichie to rise and confront those contending with Arochukwu and Umu Aro, echoing the prayers made at Awada Aro Temple, Ukwu Ovo, and Amaikpe.
In the face of adversity, Arochukwu stands united, resilient, and committed to building a prosperous future under the guidance of Eze Godwin Kanu Idei Kanu Okoro Oke, Eze Aro IX.
