I attended this year's Igue festival, an annual celebration in Umunede marking the beginning of the planting season, I am deeply rooted in my heritage, and this festival which showcases the beautiful Anioma culture, is one of such events that I take pride in. As promised to the people, I look forward to being part of it again next year. | Senator Prince Ned Nwoko
