DR CHAMBERLAIN DUNKWU'S CHRISTMAS LARGESSE (1)

The Ute-Okpu Free Fuel Giveaway Story.

By Ikechukwu Chukwudi-Abiandu

It was a Sunday in August 2024, and within the period when most Anioma communities celebrated the Iwagi Festivals, that the Deputy Chief of Staff to the Speaker of the House Of Representatives Sir Chamberlain Nnamdi Dunkwu PhD, after a Church service in Agbor, stopped by at a fuel station to refill his convoy, ahead of his departure to Asaba.

He bought fuel for not just his entourage, but ended up spending six point two million Naira (#6.2M), paying for hundreds of motorists who had also stopped to refuel, and others who trooped out upon hearing the news of his freebie.

It was a moment of joy and sincere appreciation from the beneficiaries. However, to Dr Chamberlain Dunkwu, he had discovered another means of extending his goodwill.

Thus, on December 23rd, 2024, he put his plan into action by making a more elaborate approach.

Dr Chamberlain Dunkwu fancied that Christmas offered a bigger celebratory essence and offered the Free Fuel Freebie to interested Ika sons and daughters, residents, and visitors, young and old.

This time, he spread it beyond one dispensing point, beginning with his hometown Ute-Okpu. 

This led to the positive and cheerfulness conundrum that defined the premises of Dikenwewe Petrol Station Ute-Okpu, as the people came out in their numbers with various brands of motorbikes and cars, to partake in the free fuel giveaway declared by their son and brother who is a big man in Abuja.

The average man may not understand the planning, sleepless nights, pulsating moments from pressures, and deadlines to deliver that is associated with the President Bola Ahmed Tinubu Administration, but Dr Chamberlain Dunkwu prefers to communicate the efforts of the government through offering relief in targeted areas that affect the common man in areas like Ute-Okpu, Agbor, and indeed the entire Ika domains and Delta North Senatorial District.  

To all who witnessed the Ute-Okpu Free Fuel Giveaway, nothing is as beautiful as the genuine expressions of understanding, happiness, relief, hope, and indebtedness that was visible on the faces of the beneficiaries, but to Dr Chamberlain Dunkwu it is about showing concern where it will be felt, and giving a sense of belonging to as much persons as possible, according to how much God Almighty has deemed it fit to bless you.
