Abuja Chapter of the Orumba Towns People Union (OTPU) has concluded its end-of-year celebration, which also featured the appointment of new patrons. The event, which took place in Abuja, was attended by prominent stakeholders, including Hon Okwudili Ezenwankwo, Prince Chibuike Echem, Dr Ochiogu, and HRM A. O. Chukwudi.
They also felicitate the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister at 57 and hailed him for performance as the Minister of the Nigeria’s centre of unity.
While hailing the Minister for performance, the chairman of the Union, Hon Ikenna Nwankwo noted that Wike’s performance, when he served as Chief of Staff in his State, Rivers, Minister of State for Education and governor of his state for two consecutive terms, among others convinced Mr President to give him the ministerial appointment. He therefore urged him to keep the pace.
The Chairman expressed gratitude to members for their support, which he attributed to the union’s success. He also thanked God for the blessings and protection enjoyed by the union in 2024.
The chairman announced the appointment of new patrons, including Hon Chinwe Nnabuife, Hon Okwudili Ezenwankwo, HRM A. O. Chukwudi, Amb. Chudi Okafor, Prince Chibuike Echem, Retired AIG Chris Ezike, and Dr Ndubuisi Ochiogu. These patrons were chosen for their contributions to the union and are expected to provide guidance, encouragement, and support to the OTPU.
The OTPU comprises 31 communities from Orumba North and South Local Government Areas, with 16 communities from the North and 15 from the South. The union urged those who have not yet registered to do so quickly, as it is the only meeting that comprises every town in the FCT.
The event concluded with wishes for a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.
