THE President of the Organisation For the Advancement of Anioma Culture, OFAAC, Arc. Kester Ifeadi has said the 2025 edition of the annual Anioma Cultural Festival would be bigger and better.
He said so in Asaba on Thursday while hosting Anioma stakeholders, traditional rulers, and representatives of major groups. “This year’s festival will be great and unique as it will attract a lot of trendy indigenous traditional arts, crafts, traditional cuisines, dance wrestling, and personalities to grease the occasion,” he told the gathering.
The festival was suspended last year to mourn the transition of key pillars of OFAAC like the Asagba, Prof Chike Edozien, Obi Martha Dunkwu, some Directors and friends of OFAAC
“We have never had a traditional ruler that identified with us like the late Asagba of Asaba. And of course, our mother, the Omu Anioma, is a quintessential figure and role model, ” he said.
“Anioma is a blessed land, blessed people and productively intelligent people. The land of Anioma is about purity, honour, hospitality, peace. OFAAC is the bridge that connects our people culturally.”
HRM, Obi Henry Kikachukwu, Obi of Ubulu-Unor, and the Second Vice Chairman of Delta State Traditional Rulers Council said “OFAAC continue to showcase our true cultural values and traditional ways to our children”.
Also, HRM Obi Henry Jebefuna, the Obi of Akumazi said, OFAAC has “shown Anioma to the world”.
The Obi of Ukala, HRM Obi Clement Ejiofor, thanked OFAAC and its leadership “for making Anioma culture go global.”
OFAAC’s management team of Vice President, Mr. Paddy Ugboh, Secretary, Barr. Monday Olodu, Afam Ugah, Director of Media, Emmanuel Ogwu, Director of Finance, Coordinator, Prince Andrew Obi, and others were commended for their leadership that has distinguished OFAAC.
