GOV. OBI DISTRIBUTES 177 VEHICLES TO TRADITIONAL RULERS IN ANAMBRA Gov. Peter Obi of Anambra on Monday in Awka distributed a Jeep each to the traditional rulers of 177 communities in the state. Obi handed over one of the vehicles’ key to the state Chairman of the Traditional Rulers’ Council, Igwe Alfred Achebe, Obi of Onitsha. He said that the gesture was aimed at helping them run and build better communities, adding that the vehicles would also help the traditional rulers to function effectively. ``If you have better communities, you will have a better Anambra, Anambra today is changing for better and I want this sustained. ``In doing that, the state government and the local government will do what it can to support the building of a better Anambra,’’ the governor said Achebe said that he was overwhelmed that the governor care about the well-being and welfare of the traditional rulers. ``It is completely unprecedented in Anambra and probably elsewhere in Nigeria. ``It is a mighty gesture from the governor and for the government of the state to make a distinct impact for the well-being of the traditional rulers in the state,’’ he said. According to him, it has been one of the several measures the present administration in the state had taken to improve the wellbeing of the traditional rulers. ``We pray that God will give us a successor that will continue from where Obi has left and lift Anambra to the next level.
