Stressing that it was there the recognition and staff of office came from\u201d,he asserted.<\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3071065687yMail_cursorElementTracker_1586436264302\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"yiv3071065687yMail_cursorElementTracker_1586436254943\">\u00a0\u201d My coronation on June 2019 in Bulo-Orua was in line with the Chieftaincy laws of the State. It is unconstitutional to remove me, as I have not gone out on\u00a0 my way to misbehave to warrant a removal\u00a0 letter from the Pere and his council of chiefs.
