The festival organised and sponsored by Prince Arthur Eze took place at Dumukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State.
His Majesty Igwe said the chieftaincy title was conferred on Ganduje because he is one of the leading de-tribalized politicians in Nigeria and how he protected the Igbo while he was governor of Kano State.
Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, Deputy Speaker, House of Representatives, Benjamin Okezie Kalu, and the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, were present at the event.
Ganduje was accompanied by the vice chairman, South East, Dr. Ijeomah Arodiogbu, deputy publicity secretary, Hon. Duro Meseko, his chief of staff, Muhamamdu Garba, and Arc. Aminu Dabo.
