Innocent Esewezie, Bigger than Local Government Chairmanship Position

- Emeka Esogbue

Accolades are pouring in for Hon Innocent Ifeanyichukwu Esewezie, the Executive Chairman of Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State following his display of massive delivery on his mandate to his constituency.

PEN MASTER can report that since voted into office, the Council Chairman has carried out people-oriented projects that have re-situated the Council with its people. However, the achievements of the Council Boss within a few periods in office have not gone unnoticed.

Reacting to a publication made in Anioma Watch, an online community forum of the Anioma people, by McDonald Ofili Ashinze, Awele Oranye, a Media Consultant singled out the PDP Council Boss when he wrote, "This is the only PDP man I can trust. Oshimili North enjoy while we wait for him to go for Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency or Delta North."

Accompanying comments from other members were torrential but it was Pen Master who immediately followed with, "the guy who wakes up thinking of the next progressive impact to deliver to his constituency, is just more than the local government chairmanship."

"Na governorship fit am" he added.

His observation did not go unnoticed by Dr. Benny, a Medical Practitioner who would further write, "This is a way to endorse a politician, from their track record, not from distributing/sharing largesse."

Academy for Governance, initiator and a former Director with National Population Commission added his voice, affirming that "certainly he (Esewezie) has acquired a capacity that is far away beyond the need of governance in a Council. What he needs is a consolidation of experience in preparation for a higher demand either in the public or private sector of our society as well as in the international office."

Notable public commentator on Nigerian politics, Christopher Aburo Anamanya, also a member of the forum was not found missing. He said "God is using him to a point to those who want to nip in the bud or terminate prematurely his political ambition in life. In fact, going by the people's oriented projects which he has embarked upon so far, Hon Innocent Esewezie has shown that nobody plays God. God is the beginning and end of everything. No doubt, the sheriff of the moment is an epitome of conscience, which regrettably many of these hardened and deceitful politicians lack," he concluded.

Emmanuel 'Kwasa' Amatokwu was not left out as his position also favoured Esewezie, the working Chairman.

Hon Esewezie last week, completed a new project that has redefined the Ibusa entrance by Asaba and has also pursued initiatives in Illah and other towns within his constituency.

Only a few weeks ago, Pen Master reported Sir Dr. Chuks Okonji who is gunning for the Delta State House of Assembly under the APM platform as affirming his determination to partner with Hon Innocent Esewezie if voted into office by the people of the constituency that they both share.

Surely, Esewezie whose testimonies of performance are going far and wide has become a political admiration and source of emulation to others.

DIAMOND JUBILEE AGE: 20 THINGS THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT FRED AJUDUA

DIAMOND JUBILEE AGE: 20 THINGS THE WORLD DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT FRED AJUDUA On January 21 2020, Pen Master paid Chief Fred Ajudua a scheduled visit at his Lagos-VGC Marble Dome Home, a large and imposing house sitting on a hill from where it vigorously engages public views and attention. On entering the house, Pen Master freely walked in and around, in the spirit of the love that always binds the people of Igbuzo. The man, Chief Fred Ajudua often described as the “Architect of Modern Ibusa” is unarguably one of the biggest fish in history to have come out of Ibusa even as it is said that nearly every Ibusa family has benefited from him one way or the other. Beyond what you know about him, there seems many sides you do not know. As the Igbuzo Chief celebrates his 60 th Year birthday, your Pen Master brings you the things you do not know about the highly influential Igbuzo Chief. Pen Master also dug into the Ajudua family photo depository all for your knowledge. Happy reading!

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA

A SHORT HISTORY OF OBOLLO CLAN IN ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA By Emeka Esogbue Introduction Not many historical literatures on the Obollo people exist for the usual reasons associated with our people who prefer to write the history of mighty and populous peoples already enriched with volumes of historical accounts and records. Thus while there are historical documents on other peoples of Igbo, for Obollo, it is the story of dearth of documents. However, it is within my historical concern that the rich history of this part of Igboland be adequately researched into, documented and preserved for the future generation. I do not hail from this part of Igboland but my historical background, interest and curiosity propelled me towards the acquisition of both oral and written information to put this material together. Geography The various Obollo communities comprising of Obollo Afor, Obollo Etiti, Obollo Eke, Obollo Orie and Obollo Nkwo are strategically situated at the regional bou

SEE HOW ANIOMA PEOPLE DRESS ON THEIR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE THE ERA OF USING OUR TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE TO PROMOTE ATTIRES OF OTHER GROUPS IN NIGERIA IS GONE Today is Saturday, conventionally set aside for marriage ceremonies. Awareness on how our Anioma brides and grooms attire themselves during their traditional marriage has fast spread and entrenched. We no longer promote other group's cultural attires because we want them to promote our own instead. I say many thanks to our Anioma cultural advocates on this day because our labours to preserve as well as promote the good cultures of our Anioma society have never been in vain. Noticeable now is that in time of our traditional marriages, we costume ourselves in Akwa-Ocha which brings out our god-given beauty. A few moments after her traditional marriage in Umuodafe, Ibusa on December 28, inside the Agokei palatial home, I visited former Miss Amaka Thelma Agokei, the bride. I was rather late; but I met this beautiful bride t
