The Obi of Ubulu Uku Kingdom, Obi Chukwuka Noah Akaeze, has returned home after studying abroad. The 25-year-old monarch was received at the Asaba International Airport on Thursday by thousands of his subjects, who jubilated at his arrival.
Commissioner for Technical Education, Hon. Joan Onyemaechi, and Senior Special Assistant on Youth Mobilization, Hon. James Onwordi (aka Ibori Ubulu), described the Obi’s homecoming as a blessing to the kingdom.
They noted that the celebration was a testament to the people’s love and appreciation for the Obi’s impact on the kingdom. The Obi thanked his subjects for their support and promised to protect the kingdom’s interests.
He also expressed gratitude to the immediate past governor of Delta State, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa, and the current governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, for their support over the years.
Obi Chukwuka Noah Akaeze was crowned king at 18 in 2016, following the murder of his father. He traveled abroad for education and has now returned to rule his people.
