OBUKS IBRU: BEAUTIFULLY POSITIONED

Obuks is of the popular Ibru dynasty and she wants to represent the Ughelli North, South and Uju Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives. Born Obukome Elaine Ibru-Mukoro, she is a director at the Nigerian Railway Corporation and a seasoned business entrepreneur with stints in various sectors of the economy.

night, we had a brief conversation and I asked her, “Obuks, wetin you wan go do for politics? You no carry this your fine face come make we engage on other things?” She went into a deep explanation of her mission as it concerns social infrastructure. That got me. The plights of widows, women in general and children. She wanted to drive stronger legislation to better protect not only these categories but the more vulnerable in the society. I said to her: “Obuks, you try. But if you win, who go dey cook that Afang for your restaurant for Surulere?”

Men, you should eat Obuks food o. Her soup sweet pass Elvina own. You see, I am not afraid to stay and stand by the truth. After all, na my mentor Mandela go jail for 21 years for standing by the truth. Obuks’ Afang sweet pass Elvina own. Elvina can only cook Egusi which is a killer but this discussion na Afang and the national question. So Obuks said, “Edgar, if you can reach Omo-Agege and other leaders in the region plus all strategic stakeholders and convince them of my purpose and sincerity, I promise you that you will get Afang weekly for all of my tenure.” This is the real stomach infrastructure, no be that Agege bread Fayose use confuse Ekiti people. Please anybody that knows Omo-Agege, tell him that the Duke is looking very seriously for him to discuss a very important matter of national importance. This one is not running away with maze o, this one is much more important o. Kai.
