However, they maintained that the monarch had no hand in it and that they should face their fate alone.<\/p>\n<p>The protesters stated that the reason for their peaceful rally was to demonstrate their love for their monarch, who had unfortunately been attacked by some individuals who, out of jealousy or personal hatred, sought to disrupt his developmental strides in the community.<\/p>\n<p>One of the leaders, Mr. Ugotech Edozie, said: \u201cWe are here to show solidarity with our king. He is a man of peace and love. Not everyone can stomach what some of these disgruntled people have done to humiliate him, but in his case, the more they do it, the more he tolerates them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe behavior of the persons who disrupted the traditional ruler\u2019s condolence visit did not in any way represent the Nimo youth, who we all know love their monarch and would always respect him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re calling on all well-meaning Nimo youths and others alike to always be respectful and law-abiding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The community has been embroiled in crisis for some time following the refusal of the town union executive to obey the judgment of a court that nullified their election into leadership positions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
