He appreciated the guests including individuals, groups, Anambra government and Federal government who joined in the celebration for their support.
“Today’s ceremony symbolises far more than the transfer of royal authority. It represents continuity, responsibility, accountability, and service.
“The crown, being bestowed upon our new monarch, is not merely an ornament of honour but a sacred symbol of leadership, justice, compassion, wisdom, and selfless service to the people.
“As our new King ascends the royal throne, we are confident that his reign will usher in an era characterised by peace, security, economic growth, educational advancement, cultural preservation, infrastructure development and harmonious coexistence.
