Engr.Diala emphasised that the palace of the igbo community in Aboru is ruled by the onuru ube nwanne agbala oso(whoever hears the cry of a neighbour should help)mentality and spirituallu,a reason he said that the igbos in Aboru enjoy a solidarity that makes an injury to one an injury to all.
On why he is so proud of the Aboru Igbo family,Diala stressed that the igbo community is headed by an Eze that has character and integrity,the reason he said that all services by the monarch and his cabinet are done with God and humanity at heart.
