The newly installed Traditional Prime Minister (TPM) of Ofekata III Awo-Omama Autonomous Community in Oru East Local Government Area of Imo State, Chief Cajetan Anayo Achazie, has expressed deep appreciation to the people of the community for finding him worthy of the prestigious position.
Speaking shortly after his installation, Chief Achazie, popularly known as Ugo Ebe na Aja I of Ofekata III, stated that the honour bestowed on him is both humbling and empowering. He described his new role as a call to serve, promising to dedicate himself to the growth, peace, and development of Ofekata III and the wider Awo-Omama community.
“This position gives me greater leverage to attract investments and development not only to Ofekata III but to Awo-Omama, Oru East LGA, and Imo State at large,” he said.
Chief Achazie, who owns a leading hotel in Awo-Omama that provides employment opportunities for youths, reaffirmed his loyalty to the Traditional Ruler of the community, His Royal Highness Eze Stan Onyedebelu (Oke Osisi II). He dismissed rumours of an impending crisis in the community, attributing such insinuations to “stranger elements” bent on disrupting the peace and discrediting the longstanding royal heritage of the area.
He maintained that Ofekata III remains a peaceful community, one that values unity and coexistence, and urged all residents to resist attempts by external forces to sow division.
“My emergence as TPM is not just symbolic. It is a platform to bring tangible benefits to our people,” Chief Achazie noted. “I am determined to complement the developmental strides of my elder brother, Governor Senator Hope Uzodimma, who has made significant impacts in human capital development, infrastructure, Security and peace building across the state.”
He called on the youth of the community to exercise patience, avoid actions that could harm their future, and prepare themselves to take advantage of upcoming opportunities.
“I don’t need to speak much about myself—my people know me,” he said. “What I ask for is total cooperation so we can work together to build our community. I have the contacts, the connections, and the capacity to drive human capital development that will put food on every table in Ofekata III.”
Chief Achazie also highlighted his commitment to philanthropy and youth empowerment, citing the establishment of his three-star hotel—staffed largely by members of the community—as just one example of his development efforts.
“I am a man of peace, driven by the passion to serve. My goal is to ensure job creation, food security, and poverty reduction in Ofekata III Awo-Omama and beyond,” he concluded.
