Isuikwuato agog as Hon. Nnaemeka Obi empowers Okada riders
It was a celebration of sorts on Friday, September 26, 2025, as one of Isuikwuato’s emerging stars, Hon. Nnaemeka GodsPrince Obi, excited motorcycle riders, popularly known as Okada riders, operating in the whole local government area by ensuring they all got free fuel.
The free distribution was done at Sane Consult International Limited, a Petrol Station located in Ovim.
The Okada riders were not just elated by the free petrol but by the news that the gift would be given out every month.
The information which spread like wild fire went round the whole local government as the motorcycle riders turned out in their numbers, hailing OBI NNAEMEKA FOUNDATION, the organization that handled the petrol empowerment.
Eyewitness account said all the Okada riders had the OBI NNAEMEKA FOUNDATION stickers on their bikes as a sign of solidarity.
Chairman of Okada riders in Isuikwuato, who mentioned his name as Chibuzo, expressed his appreciation for this gesture and maintained that the Patron, Hon Nnaemeka Obi, is a worthy son.
“We are very happy for this gift and we will support him in any way we can, and anywhere he wants to go.”
However, a Foundation member told him that the gesture is selfless and not because he is contesting any elective post.
The Okada operators maintained a show of solidarity, saying they will come out in mass to back him up if he decides to seek any elective post now or in the near future.
OBI NNAEMEKA FOUNDATION, whose motto is”The Light has Come”, is a philanthropic organization designed to lift the less privileged as well as pursue the well-being of Isuikwuato citizens.
Hon. Nnaemeka Obi, the prime mover of the Foundation said that he is a proud son of Umuokogbuo Eluama in Isuikwuato local government.
He said he created the foundation to give back to society. While the activities kick-started with Okada riders, “it will extend to other persons”, he noted.
