APPEAL FOR PEACE IS NOT WITHDRAWAL OF CASE: PRINCE PAUL IKONNE REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO THE DIGNITY OF THE NGWA NATION
The Prince Paul Ikonne Campaign Council wishes to clarify recent public discussions surrounding Prince Paul Ikonne’s intervention in the matter involving Ms. Glad Unique, a content creator whose social media activities generated concerns among members of the Ngwa community.
We consider it important to provide clarification and ensure that the circumstances surrounding the meeting are properly understood by Ndi Ngwa and the general public.
For the avoidance of doubt, Prince Paul Ikonne did not initiate any attempt to withdraw the case against Ms. Glad Unique.
His intervention was strictly aimed at understanding the status of the matter, identifying the relevant parties, and exploring the possibility of a peaceful resolution.
The matter remains within the appropriate legal process, and any decision regarding its resolution rests with the relevant authorities and the aggrieved parties.
During a meeting with stakeholders from Aba North and Aba South Local Government Areas, Prince Paul Ikonne was approached to consider granting an audience to Ms. Glad Unique, who expressed her desire to seek peace and reconciliation.
Upon her arrival, Ms. Glad Unique presented her perspective, expressed remorse, and offered an apology.
As a traditional Crown Prince of Ngwa Land, Prince Paul Ikonne believes in the values of compassion, dialogue, and peaceful coexistence. He therefore considered it appropriate to listen to her appeal while maintaining respect for the concerns and feelings of the aggrieved community.
Alongside the stakeholders present, he advised her on the importance of responsible public communication, respect for cultural sensitivities, and the need to promote unity rather than division.
Prince Paul Ikonne recognises that he is not the only person affected by the matter. Other individuals and stakeholders, including youth representatives and principal complainants, have legitimate concerns that deserve to be acknowledged and addressed
The purpose of the engagement was to ascertain the status of the case and explore whether a proper, structured, and mutually acceptable resolution could be achieved through the appropriate channels.
It was also understood that any formal apology or cultural restitution, if pursued, should be properly presented to the appropriate traditional authorities and relevant stakeholders.
An informal appeal for peace does not replace the need for appropriate cultural recognition, nor does it automatically resolve the legal issues involved.
The final decision on how the matter should be resolved rests with the relevant authorities and the aggrieved parties, in accordance with the applicable legal process.
Prince Paul Ikonne remains committed to promoting peace, protecting the dignity of Ndi Ngwa, and encouraging responsible dialogue among all parties.
As political activities ahead of the 2027 Abia South Senatorial election continue, we urge supporters, stakeholders, and members of the public to approach this matter with understanding and avoid unnecessary political interpretations.
Our campaign remains focused on effective representation, development, unity, and the advancement of Abia South.
We believe that peaceful dialogue, respect for the law, and collective understanding are essential to building a stronger and more united Ngwa community.
Prince Paul Ikonne remains a proud son of Ngwa Land, committed to upholding the dignity, image, cultural heritage, and respect of our people.
We appreciate everyone who has contributed to the ongoing discussions and encourage all concerned to allow the appropriate processes to take their course.
An appeal for peace is an expression of mature leadership, not a withdrawal of a case.
Nde Ngwa bu oke mba!
Let peace reign.
