President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has been conferred with the prestigious chieftaincy title ‘Dike Si Mba Anambra’ by traditional rulers representing all 179 communities in Anambra State.
The honour was bestowed on the President on Thursday at the Dr. Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka by the Chairman of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, Igwe Chidubem Iweka (Ogalagidi, Eze Iweka III), during a ceremony held as part of Tinubu’s one-day working visit to the state.
President Tinubu was in Anambra to commission a series of legacy projects completed by Governor Chukwuma Soludo’s administration.
Speaking during the conferment, Igwe Iweka described the title, which translates to “warrior from the Diaspora,” as a recognition of Tinubu’s leadership and impact across Nigeria.
“This is a title from all the royal fathers in the 179 communities of Anambra State,” Igwe Iweka said. “We honour you today for your dedication and contributions to national development. Your governance is making a difference in every part of this country.”
The event was attended by top government officials, traditional rulers, and members of the public.
