Friend of the masses, Eze Prosper Chukwuka, Eze Ndigbo FESTAC, Lagos state has declared his interest in the good of Nigerians, not just Ndigbo.
The Igbo leader who has carved a niche for himself even as a young Eze made this declaration during a recent no- holds – barred interview at his 1st avenue, Q close palace with a Lagos journalist.
According to His Majesty Chukwuka, his mission is to ensure an environment that will will be peaceful, progressive and developmental for all citizens, irrespective of tribe, creed, culture and social class.
As a proof of this, he recently visited the Oba Elect of Amuwo Odofin for familiarization and unity, accompanied by his wife and cabinet members.
Disclosing some of his empowerment agenda for the people, Eze Chukwuka stated that he made a journey of love to the correctional centres where he facilitated the release of certain inmates who landed behind bars as victims of circumstances.
In his further expatiation, he stressed that such a move which he extends to the police facilities is to strategically support govt decongestion process and to set those incarcerated unjustly, or for minor issues free.
Talking about qualities that led to his emergence as Eze Igbo of FESTAC, he emphasised that prior to this era, he reigned as King of Boys in the entire FESTAC and Amuwo Odofin, a title he said was a clear reflection of his popularity among the youths of all tribes that comprise that big Local Government Area.
“As king of boys, I was friend, mentor and giver to Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Delta, Edo and indeed all youths.
“I never restricted my empowerment and generosity to my tribe.
“The LG boss during the EndSars, Hon. Valentine Braimoh attested to the relative peace in our area, due to our great inputs to the socio economic stability of our area.
“In fact, I make bold to say I played a major role”, Eze Chukwuka stressed.
Describing Valentine as a great leader, he pointed that Amuwo Odofin is an amazing part of Lagos full of beautiful potentials.
His Majesty, Prosper Chukwuka, Eze Ome Ihe Ukwu the first of FESTAC, recently empowered over 150 disabled persons who comprised people from all tribes with cash, support materials and food, a move that was also supported by some of his cabinet members.
