- From Usman A. Bello, Benin

The Otaru of Auchi, Alhaji Aliru Momoh, Ikelebe III, has called on traditiona­l rulers and other leaders to ensure justice in everything they do for the nation to move forward.

Otaru said this yesterday in Auchi, Etsako West local government area of the Edo State during the 21st Auchi Day celebratio­n, stressing that injustice was the cause of most problems bedeviling mankind.

He said the nation was having problems today in all sectors because Nigerians, especially traditiona­l rules, were not applying justice in their actions.

“My advice to the traditiona­l rulers is that we should always ensure that justice prevails in our kingdoms and elsewhere we go,” he said.

Otaru explained that the Auchi Day was set aside to celebrate the Almighty Allah through prayer and Quranic recitation and competitio­n.

On his part, the Edo state Governor, Godwin Obaseki, said through his Commission­er for Budget and Planning, Hon. Mariam Abubakar, that in the last one year of his administra­tion, the state government had taken critical steps to ensure that business thrived in Edo north.

In his address, the chairman of the occasion, Chief Omamofe Boyo, commended the people for establishi­ng the annual event aimed at grooming the children in Quranic recitation.
