President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was on Thursday conferred with the traditional chieftaincy title of ‘Dike Si Mba’ by traditional rulers in Anambra State, recognising him as a “Hero from Another Land.”
The honour was bestowed during his official visit to the state, with the ceremony taking place in Awka.
The Chairman of the Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council, Igwe Chidubem Iweka of Obosi, led other monarchs in conferring the title, which reflects respect and acknowledgement from all the communities in Anambra.
President Tinubu arrived at Chinua Achebe International Airport, Umueri, at about 12:15 p.m. and was received by Governor Chukwuma Soludo, Deputy Governor Onyeka Ibezim, and other senior government officials.
During his visit, the President inaugurated Anambra’s first-ever Government House, a landmark achievement for the state more than three decades after its creation.
He also commissioned a number of other infrastructure projects executed by Governor Soludo’s administration.
This marks President Tinubu’s second trip to the South-East region in 2025, following his January visit to Enugu State.
