Anyaso Celebrates Item Cultural Day, Gifts Monarch Car
Labour Party candidate for Bende Federal Constituency, Dr. Chima Anyaso, has congratulated the people of Item Ancient Kingdom on the successful celebration of their 2026 Cultural Festival in Aba, Abia State.
Anyaso, who was represented at the event by the Director General of his Campaign Council, Pastor Dike Okechukwu, described Item as a historic kingdom blessed with distinguished personalities who have made remarkable contributions to society.
He specifically acknowledged the achievements of notable sons and daughters of the kingdom, including renowned financial and development expert, Aroma Oteh, stressing the need to preserve and promote the community’s rich cultural heritage.
The Bende federal constituency hopeful reaffirmed his commitment to identifying with the people of Item and supporting their interests, noting that their historical significance and contributions to the development of society deserved recognition.
He also expressed confidence in Governor Alex Chioma Otti’s commitment to the welfare of the people, assuring that he would not support any action capable of undermining the interests of Item Kingdom.
A major highlight of the celebration was the presentation of a brand-new Toyota Highlander to the Okpi of Item, HRH Eze Silas Igwe, by Dr. Anyaso.
The gesture, according to his representative, followed Anyaso’s observation of the condition of the monarch’s previous vehicle, prompting him to make the donation in recognition of the traditional institution and the revered royal stool.
The monarch, visibly delighted by the gift, expressed gratitude to Anyaso and offered prayers for him. He also declared his support for the Bende politician’s aspiration to represent the constituency at the National Assembly.
Every second brings Nigerians closer to exercising their democratic right and shaping the future of our nation.
