President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was on Thursday honored with a prestigious chieftaincy title, “Dike Si Mba Anambra” (Warrior from the Diaspora), by the traditional rulers of all 179 communities in Anambra State.
The ceremony took place at Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square, Awka, during the President’s one-day working visit to the state. The title was presented by the Chairman of the Anambra Traditional Rulers Council, Igwe Chidubem Iweka, who said the honor was a collective decision by all royal fathers across the state.
“This is in recognition of your good works across Nigeria,” Igwe Iweka said, highlighting Tinubu’s commitment to national development and critical infrastructure, including the roads connecting the Second Niger Bridge.
President Tinubu, visibly moved by the honor, expressed his gratitude, saying, “Our diversity must lead to prosperity. I will treasure this title forever.”
During the visit, Tinubu also commissioned key projects completed under Governor Charles Soludo’s administration. These include the New Government House, Solution Fun City, the Emeka Anyaoku Institute, and ongoing work at UNIZIK.
Top dignitaries in attendance included NSA Nuhu Ribadu, and governors from Ogun, Imo, Abia, and Enugu states, among others.
