. But the embattled monarch dismissed the group, saying they have no such powers to remove him as they were not the authentic kingmakers of Awka. Those behind the action alleged that the monarch had on several occasions violated the 1986 Traditional Rulers Amended Constitution for Awka and the Code of Conduct, which he reportedly signed on January 1, 2000 after he was crowned. Addressing reporters in Awka, members of the Council of Kingmakers said they took the decision in liaison with Awka elders.
