Joshua Chinedu Obika, the Member of the House of Representatives representing AMAC/Bwari Federal Constituency, commissioned a modern palace for the Esu of Jikwoyi. The palace, which was built and fully furnished by Hon. Obika, stands as a testament to his commitment to fulfilling promises made during his campaign.
The event was a moment of pride and celebration for the Esu of Jikwoyi’s royal dynasty and the entire community. Hon.
