Abstract

 Oruku Community in Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu State is made up of three villages, Umuode, Umuchiani and Onuogowo. Since time immemorial, there had been a balance of power among the three. They lived in peace, as brothers from same parents. The custom and tradition governed and guided the people and decision making was done by the three clans. According to Adenyi, Nnamchi and Onyia (2019, P.332) in 1976, Oruku community drew up a constitution of chieftaincy by which the stool was to rotate amongst the three clans. The rotatory system was already established even before the constitution was draw. However, it was under this constitution that Chief Nwatu Okenwa became the first traditional ruler of Oruku in 1976.
