Onitsha traders demand removal of Ogbogwu market caretaker committee

Traders at Onitsha's Ogbogwu Drug Market are intensifying their calls for the removal of the current caretaker committee chairman, Mr. Ndubuisi Chukwuleta. The aggrieved traders are pushing for the immediate dissolution of the caretaker leadership and the organization of elections to usher in a democratically elected executive body for the market.

This renewed demand comes in the wake of a recent police shooting incident, which appears to have further fueled the traders' dissatisfaction with the current management. The traders are seeking a more representative and accountable leadership structure, believing that an elected executive will better serve their interests and address their concerns.

The situation highlights ongoing tensions within the market, with traders advocating for a transition from appointed leadership to a system where market leaders are chosen by and accountable to the traders themselves. The call for elections underscores a desire for greater participation and self-governance within the bustling commercial hub.
