Chief Ugwumba who spoke recently in a brief interview with Umuaka Times shortly after the court gave judgment on the leadership tussle in the community, maintained his neutrality in the mater but went on to appeal for peace and love among his people.<\/p>\n<p>In his speech, the Abuja based businessman who was visibly angry over the Achara crisis, lamented that for over a decade or more, the community has not known any meaningful progress as a result of this case. &#8220;When two elephants fight, the grasses suffer. We as a people have never made any progress since we went into this leadership crisis. It is not in any way doing any of us any good. The problem is gradually getting personal with many Acharans especially those based at home.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-958\" src=\"http:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1e.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"571\" height=\"1012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1e.png 571w, https:\/\/umuakatimes.com\/topnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1e-169x300.png 169w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When asked to comment on the latest court decision over the crisis, Chef Ugwumba declined saying, &#8220;As far as I am concerned, there is no victor no vanquished. \u00a0It is either we are all losers of we are all gainers but as it appears now, we have been losing over the years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It is on record that Chief Ugwumba has been vocally consistent on the path to finding a lasting solution to the Achara leadership crisis. Last March, he granted an interview to Umuaka Times where he blamed the creation of autonomous community in Umuaka as a prominent catalyst to the negative political developments in Achara. This time around again, Ugwumba is still making the call for peace in Achara community.<\/p>\n<p>From the findings made by Umuaka Times, Chief Ugwumba is not the only one who is moved to finding peace in Achara community. There are others whose names are too numerous to mention and most of them belong to the famous Achara Abroad Union, an interventionist group which came into existence with the aim of restoring peace and good neighbourliness in the community.<\/p>\n<p>On his final note, Chief Ugwumba thanked all the people of Achara town for their patience and for their understanding and refusal to take the laws into their hands all these years. He also appealed to the people and religious leaders to always remember the community in their daily prayers for a gradual transition to peace because, according to him, &#8220;Achara leads, others follow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>674 ViewsChief Festus Okechukwu Ugwoegbu, the Ugwumba 1 of Umuaka has called on his
