The people of Obudi-Agwa Ancient Kingdom in Oguta Local Government Area of Imo State will hold a General Assembly on Saturday, October 10, 2026, to deliberate on key issues affecting the administration, security, unity and development of the community.
The meeting was announced by the Regent, Prince Malachy Chibueze Asor, in conjunction with the Eleco Committee headed by Hon. M. O. Nlemedim, former Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General of Imo State; Hon. Dr. Louis Nonye Obodo, former Chairman of Oguta Local Government Area; and leaders of functioning Obudi Development Union (ODU) structures at home and abroad.
A major item on the agenda is the proposed establishment of a Constitutional Review Committee (CRC) to examine areas of concern and contention in the existing community constitution.
The committee is expected to have representatives from the constitutional villages and review provisions considered contentious, with a view to making recommendations that could improve the governance and administration of Obudi-Agwa.
The General Assembly will also consider a new date for the election of the President-General of Obudi-Agwa, following developments surrounding the community's leadership transition.
Security is another key issue expected to receive attention, with stakeholders expected to discuss measures for strengthening peace and safety across the community.
The gathering will also provide an opportunity for community leaders, village representatives, unions and other stakeholders to deliberate on issues affecting the welfare of the people and explore areas of cooperation.
Organisers are expected to use the assembly to promote dialogue among the various community leadership structures and address areas of disagreement through collective decision-making.
Obudi-Agwa Ancient Kingdom has played a notable role in the affairs of Oguta Local Government Area and Imo State, with its people contributing to the social, political and economic development of the area.
The October 10 meeting is therefore expected to serve as a platform for stakeholders to review important community matters and agree on a common direction on issues requiring collective action.
Stakeholders and members of the community have been encouraged to participate in the assembly and contribute to discussions on the future administration and development of Obudi-Agwa.
Key decisions from the meeting are expected to centre on the proposed constitutional review committee, the rescheduling of the President-General election, security, unity and other matters of community interest.
This version is tighter and avoids repeatedly restating that the meeting is about “unity and development.”
