Today, December 18, 2021, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Dr Robert Chukwudilim Eze (Okofia IV), Igwe Ukpo and Clan head of Dunukofia Ancient Kingdom shall confer a prestigious Chieftaincy title of Iyom Ifekaolaedo on the Senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial District, Uche Ekwunife, PhD.
The conferment which is part of the series of activities lined up for the 2021 Ofala festival of the respected Monarch will also see other distinguished personalities honoured by the community.
While Senator Ekwunife will receive the title of Iyom Ifekaolaedo, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu state will be conferred the title Ifezulumba.
Other recipients include, PDP National Secretary, Senator Sam Anyanwu, South East PDP Zonal Chairman, Chief Ali Odefa, Senator Sam Ohuabunwa amongst others.
The Ofala festival of the Dunukofia clan is a memorial ceremony for the remembrance of the day the traditional ruler of the community ascended the throne of his ancestors. The event also presents the opportunity for the King to pray for the progress of his subjects and protections against evil.
Historically, Dunukofia is both an LGA and a clan/dynasty with the King of Ukpo Kingdom occupying the position of the clan head. Also worthy of note is that the celebrated Philanthropist and Chairman of Atlas Oranto Petroleum, Prince Engr. Arthur Eze (Ozoigbondu) is a revered Prince of the community.
The conferment of Ifekaolaedo which literally means "SOMETHING MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD" on Ekwunife is without doubt a testimony of her extraordinary efforts towards community development. Senator Ekwunife's investments in human capital and infrastructural development have obviously not gone unnoticed. The recognition by Ukpo Kingdom is an honour well deserved.
Hail thee, the incoming Iyom Ifekaolaedo of the Ancient Ukpo Kingdom!
