Hon Prince Chibudom Nwuche . Late Eze Ekpeye II, His Imperial Majesty Eze (Flt Lieut.) Robinson O. Robinson JP in 2017 pronounced and blessed Nwuche with the singular highest honour and title before his demise.

Eze Robinson O. Robinson who passed on in 2018 had on account of the leadership qualities and commitment of Hon. Chibudom Nwuche to Ekpeye courses both during and after his tenure as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, bestowed on him the title of Esama Ekpeye Logbo.

The current Eze Ekpeye Logbo who ascended the throne in May 2022, had therefore at his first Anniversary celebration conducted the official ceremony of the conferment of Esama Ekpeye Logbo on Hon. Nwuche at a colorful event to celebrate his one year anniversary on the throne as Eze Ekpeye Logbo III at his Palace at Ula Upata Community in Ahoada East Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Hon. Chibudom Nwuche who was the chairman of the occasion while making his opening remarks thanked the monarch for the honour done to him and recounted how late Eze Robinson O. Robinson honoured him with the title at the height of his political victimization by certain political actors from the state, and the significance of the title at that time and therefore used the opportunity to urge those in authority not to use their positions for oppression but rather use them to uplift the people.

Nwuche who expressed concern over the insecurity in Ekpeye land and reports in National newspapers of the killings in Ekpeye urged the traditional rulers to work together and end insecurity in the area.

He also called on the Local Government Chairmen of Ahoada East and Ahoada West as chief security officers of the area, to sacrifice resources and time towards ending the insecurity as Ekpeye is gradually becoming unsafe to live and for businesses to thrive due to the regular killings in the area.

He also commended the Rivers State governor His Excellency Chief Barr Ezenwo Nyesom Wike for the recognition and presentation of staff of office to the new king and others as well as the various developmental projects the governor has executed in Ekpeye, assuring that Ekpeye people will continue to support him either in or out of government to demonstrate their gratitude for all he has done for the people.
