After checking the biography of His Royal Majesty, Igwe, Amb. Dr Lawrence Okolio Chikezie Agubuzu of Ezema Olo Kingdom in Ezeagu LG, Enugu State, I wasn’t surprised that he was this articulate in his speech, intelligent, courageous and fearless. A graduate of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and a postgraduate of the University of Lagos, Howard University in Washington, DC, in the United States of America, and the University of Besançon in France, and having served in different top engagements, including as an ambassador of Nigeria to the United Nations in New York, among others, within and outside Nigeria, what else does he need at this age and level that he can’t be this brave and speak truth to power? A big lesson here is that highly exposed, intelligent individuals who have built careers and wealth are still better at taking the role of leadership, whether traditional or political. A representative of the people should be someone who is exposed, intelligent, actively engaged in public affairs, experienced in diverse situations, and fearless enough to make difficult but necessary decisions on issues affecting their community, not unexposed stooges. Most kings in the 5 states in the Southeast can’t be in HRM Igwe Lawrence's category. His Royal Highness is far far ahead in exposure, intelligence, influence and affluence. This one no be Igwe utaba by political manipulation. #copiedpost
