In the same vein, I tender sincere apology to Chief Stanley Ukaga, the President General of Uratta autonomous community. I regret the embarrassment and inconvenience the publication may have caused all concerned. We all know that, to err, is human while forgiveness is divine”.
Recall, that Chief Paschal Emeana, had in the August, 30, 2024, edition of Nigeria Watchdog Newspaper, warned Chike Ukaga who was expected to address Akwakuma women at the grand finale of their August meeting not to step his legs in Akwakuma on that day because he, (Ukaga) neither informed him nor sought his permission as the President General and administrative head of the community.
According to him, all the issues that led to the misunderstanding and communication gap have been peacefully and amicable resolved. Hence, the unreserved apology.
