Peter Obi, the former governor of Anambra State, has called on residents of Umuoba-Anam and Aguleri to stop fighting and to engage in dialogue over a fresh land dispute.

The former governor urged the communities to abandon hostilities and seek peaceful solutions, stressing the importance of dialogue in resolving the conflict.

Obi’s appeal comes amid renewed tensions between the two towns, which have been embroiled in a dispute over land ownership.

He urged the people to work together and to use peaceful means to settle their differences, warning that continued conflict could harm the region’s stability.

Local leaders and community members are expected to respond to Obi’s call for peace, though no official statement has yet been released on the next steps to resolve the dispute.
