The Concerned Kindred Families of Amechi Uwani in Enugu South Local Government Area have expressed appreciation to the Enugu State governor, Peter Mbah, and the state House of Assembly over their intervention in the lingering land dispute involving the community.
In an open letter signed by their leader, Sir Richard Nnabuchi Nnamani, the group commended the Speaker and members of the Assembly, particularly the Special Committee on Land Matters/Dispute, for their role in resolving the matter.
The letter reads in part: “We, the undersigned being the representatives of the Concerned Kindred Families of Amechi Uwani, Enugu South LGA of Enugu State, under the leadership of Sir Richard Nnabuchi Nnamani, KJW (Onodugo), wish to profoundly and passionately appreciate first the Honourable Speaker of the Enugu House of Assembly and the entire members of the Enugu State House of Assembly.
“We particularly salute the commitment, uprightness, and industry of the members of the Special Committee on Land Matters/Dispute of the House for the Report and the robust findings and recommendations articulated therein which the House unanimously adopted on the 19th day of December, 2024.
“We consider this report a lifeline in the annals of our numerous cries and calls for justice which hitherto were viciously and monstrously suppressed till now, where without fear or favour, you have called a spade by its name, and our joy knows no bound.”
The groups recalled their ordeals, alleging intimidation, harassment, unlawful arrests, and malicious charges, as well as the demolition of their buildings by the Enugu Capital Territory Development Authority (ECTDA) and land grabbers despite pending court cases.
They described Governor Mbah as a leader committed to justice and fairness, commending him for allowing the legislature to function independently and ensuring that the truth prevailed.
“We have strong confidence, therefore, in His Excellency for the full implementation of the report so that this imbroglio will be ultimately laid to rest, and our people will deservedly heave a sigh of relief,” they said.
They assured Governor Mbah of their full support and pledged to deliver all their votes to him if he decides to seek re-election in 2027.
They also called for the full implementation of the Assembly’s report to bring lasting relief to the affected families.
