Breaking:Empowerment and Unity at Igumale Ward 2 – Okanga Sisters Receive Gifts of Love
In a heartwarming event that lit up the atmosphere of Igumale Ward 2, not less than 316 members of the Okanga Sisters were beneficiaries of a generous gesture from Honourable Chief Philip Agbese, the Okanga, Isinabo 1, and the Honourable Member representing Ado/Ogbadibo/Okpokwu Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
The event, which took place live at Igumale Ward 2, saw the presentation of high-quality wrappers to the women—a gift that symbolized more than just material support. These wrappers, distributed with grace and ceremony, stood as a mark of unity, love, and the collective strength of the women in the community. It was an inspiring moment that showcased the commitment of Honourable Agbese to the welfare and empowerment of the women in his constituency.
The official presentation was carried out by Mr. Owobi Josiah, the All Progressives Congress (APC) chairman, alongside Ms. Nancy Abutu, representing the Okanga Humanitarian Centre and her team. The event was graced with smiles, laughter, traditional songs, and dances, as the beneficiaries rejoiced and expressed gratitude for the kind gesture. Many of the women spoke about how this act of generosity has not only lifted their spirits but also reinforced a sense of belonging and recognition within the larger society.
Speaking at the ceremony, Ms. Abutu emphasized that the distribution of the wrappers was not merely a charitable act, but a carefully thought-out initiative meant to foster communal harmony, cultural pride, and solidarity among the Okanga Sisters. “This is more than a wrapper,” she said. “It is a bond—a fabric of love, woven with threads of unity and a commitment to progress.”
Honourable Chief Philip Agbese, though not physically present at the event, sent words of encouragement and reaffirmed his unflinching dedication to improving the lives of his constituents, particularly women and vulnerable groups. He lauded the Okanga Sisters for their strength and resilience and promised more empowerment programmes in the near future.
The crowd repeatedly chanted “4+4”, a slogan that has come to symbolize continued support for the Honourable Agbese’s tenure, signaling that the women are solidly behind him for another term. The show of solidarity from the women in Igumale Ward 2 reflected deep appreciation and political awareness, suggesting that the bond between the representative and his people is both strong and enduring.
As the sun set over Igumale, the celebration continued with music and heartfelt testimonies from the women, who hailed the day as one to remember. The success of this initiative once again underscores the transformative impact of community-oriented leadership and the power of women united under a shared cause.
In all, the event was a powerful demonstration of leadership, love, and lasting legacy—one wrapper at a time.
