Ebonyi Man Treks 600km to Thank Governor, Receives ₦10m Gift.

Comrade Jeremiah Obaji, an Ebonyi native residing in Lagos, has received a ₦10 million cash gift from Governor Francis Nwifuru after embarking on a 17-day trek from Ikorodu, Lagos, to Abakaliki. The journey was his way of showing gratitude to the governor for restoring peace in Effium community.

Setting out on August 21 and arriving on September 7, Obaji covered over 600 kilometers on foot. He described the effort as his “sacrifice of gratitude” for the governor’s intervention in the Ezza-Effium confl+ct through the establishment of five autonomous communities.

“I didn’t know I was crit+cising my saviour. I f+ught him on social media, not knowing he would be the one to bring peace to my community. This trek was my sacrifice of gratitude. Peace is priceless,” Obaji said.
