Irobi Darlington
Yesterday, Friday, the 14th November, 2022 was a big and historic occasion in the Mbieri ancient kingdom as the entire autonomous communities with their Royal Fathers came together for the celebration of New Yam Festival (Iri Ji).
The occasion which attracted sons and daughters of Mbieri from their different locations was a total flair of colors.
Displays of festival and cultural heritage gave it more glamour.
The height of it was the arrival of the man everyone waited for, the David of our time. The stepping in of Engr Akarachi Amadi, the APC Candidate for House of Representatives, Mbaitoli Ikeduru Federal Constituency took the occasion to another high point as the women and youths couldn’t control it , but to enchant his name all over in appreciation of his aspiration and their readiness to vote him in as their representative.
A cultural arena almost turned to a political rally, despite the control by the candidate, yet the realism of the people’s joy and happy mood kept the ovation high for the young engineer turned politician.
Akarachi who sees Mbieri as his 2nd home made responses of smiles and support for the Mbieri people. It was a clear understanding that ndi Mbieri has made directly or indirectly an adoption of his candidacy come February 2023 election.
In the occasion was also the deputy governor of the state Prof Placid Njoku who ably represented the governor, H/E Hope Uzodinma and so many other dignitaries so numerous to mention.
It is still Youth O’clock and to God be all the glory.
