When the righteous is on the throne the people rejoice is a popular Bible passage that most people are familiar with. The import of this statement clearly played out recently when Scoreline spoke to two notable politicians in the Isuikwuato axis of Abia State: Hon. Nkem Duncan Oji, Councillor representing the good people of Ezere Ward 2 and Deputy Speaker Isuikwuato Council Assembly; and Hon. Madukwe John representing the good people of Imenyi Ward 1.

The Igbos are one of the major and most culturally diverse ethnic groups in Africa (Ogbonna, 2019). As Enechukwu 2016 postulated, “they stretch across River Niger from the west of Agbor to Cross River moving north of Nsukka high lands, to some parts of the Atlantic coast. Igbos inhabit mainly in Anambra, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi and Enugu States of Nigeria. Large numbers of them are found in Delta, Rivers, Cross River and Akwa Ibom States.

INTRODUCTION
In Igbo land, the palm tree (Elaeis guneensis) is as old as the settlement of human in the area. Fragments of palm kernels found in Igbo land dates to 2555-130BC through archaeological research carried out by Ezike (1987), at Ogbodu Aba in Udenu L.G.A, Ezike (1988), at Aku in Igbo Etiti L.G.A all in Enugu state and Chikwendu (1975), at Ugwuagu, Afikpo in Ebonyi state, point to 500-200 BC. Besides man’s relationship with people, he shares an intimate relationship with his environment and palm tree is one of them. In Igbo traditional society, palm tree is known as “Nkwu” and it is one of the trees treated with reverence and given a special status.
Recently, the appointments of AVM Chinkwendu Onyike Rtd; and his deputy Hon. Okezie Goodluck as the local government area transition council Chairman/Mayor and deputy respectively, of Isuikwuato Local Government Council were renewed by the Executive Governor of Abia state, Dr. Alex Otti.
