It is certainly no
news that “The Dome” is one of the exclusive and most talked about hang-out/recreation
centers in Abuja. It is a meeting point for the high and mighty, the rich and
powerful. However, the owner of The Dome, Chief Obiora Okonkwo is the news at
the moment.
The upwardly mobile
business impresario who hails from Ogidi (same to Late Prof. Chinua Achebe) is
jumped into the murky waters of politics with all his weight. He wants to represent
his Federal Constituency (Idemili Federal Constituency) in the House of
Representatives come 2015. His posters are now all over Constituency towns and
villages confirming our previous speculation that “Dike Ora” as he is fondly
called will.
He is a staunch member of the ruling People’s Democratic Party and will be locked in a fierce battle with the incumbent Representative, Chief Charles Odedo for the party’s ticket. Not only that Dike Ora will have to contend with whoever the APC’s candidate will be as that particular Constituency is undoubtedly the stronghold of Sen. Chris Ngige (Onwa).
While Chief Obiora Okonkwo can be simply described as a success story both academically and economically, only time will tell if that will also translate into political success next year 2015 by him winning the PDP primaries and defeating ADC in Idemili Federal Constituency (the heart and soul of APC in Anambra).
