Dr. Onyewuchi Asinobi, the Mayor of Mbieri community and ex- Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer, of the Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) on Sunday, marked his birthday with the Obazu Mbieri women and less privileged.
Mayor .Asinobi, during the event gave the sum of N30,000 cash each to over 30 women for support and up-keep of their homes in appreciation and thanksgiving for God’s mercies and kindness.
Addressing journalists shortly after the event held at his country home in Obazu, Mbieri, Mbaitoli Local Government Area of Imo state, the celebrant who is the 22nd child of Late Chief Medical Asinobi said he’s not a politician and not planning to be one.
According to him,” By the special grace of God, we have been able to establish health centre for our people for the past 8years where we see a maximum of 30 people on week days.
“We have given medication free of charge .and we have also been able to build a library for the community secondary school.
The celebrant said. “I feel fulfilled impacting lives because God has blessed me so much that I’m not looking for any post or contract from anybody but I breathe and think Obazu”
Speaking on his background, Asinobi who is also the Mayor gburugburu of Mbieri ancient kingdom and Mborogu chukwu of Mbaitoli Local Government Area said he joined the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) and later retired as the Central Securities Clearing System (CSCS) Limited after steering it’s affairs for 15years.
On why he went into philanthropy, he said he derived it from his late father who gave succour to lots of people while alive. He so loved Obazu, he was Obazu and Obazu was him .As a wealth man, he assisted the downtrodden. That why we derived the desire to assist the people in need.”
On his advice to other well-to-do Nigerians, he said it’s difficult for one to have money and don’t do philanthropy, just that many do it silently and don’t make noise about them. Some do little and make the loudest noise. Any God fearing person that made money should be able to help others.
The soft spoken intellectual giant opined that Obazu is fragmented, the women and men need somebody who will unite the people. My advice is that they should keep an open mind and become selfless.
Recall that Asinobi had earlier empowered scores of petty traders and shop owners around his country home with N130, 000 cash to offset their annual rent and boost their businesses.
In attendance were representatives of Obazu Women Association led by Lady Jane Obido, the representatives of Obazu Town Union led by its Secretary, Emeka Nosiri, beneficiaries of the his free medicare programs , beneficiaries of his N130, 000 cash for shop owners among others too many.

PDP Stakeholders’ Meeting: Anyanwu Denies Leaving PDP, … Rekindles Hope of Party Members, Empowers Ward, LGA, State Exco with over 150m The National Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu has denied rumour that he was leaving the Peoples Democratic Party, assuring party members that he would remain in the party even if everyone leaves. “Do not be deceived, confused or misled by anyone, I am in PDP and will remain in the party until our mandate is achieved. Take note that ADC or APP will never win any election in Imo state and Nigeria at large. Anyone deceiving you or spreading falsehood that PDP is dead is only suffering from schizophrenia” “It’s only in PDP that you can find matured party members, our party is like the old NPP where it regarded human beings. Those who claim to be members and leaders of ruling party are finding it difficult to feed, but in PDP, we are feeding well even when we are not in power” Anyanwu made this declaration on Wednesday while addressing members during the New Year Special Stakeholders meeting at party secretariate, Owerri. Accordingly, Anyanwu, in appreciation of the dedication of party members, stakeholders, ward, LGA and State Exco lavishly rewarded them with gift items valued over 150m tagged; “New Year Unity Gift” Adding further, Senator Anyanwu expressed delight that despite minor internal wrangling that almost derailed the vision of PDP few months ago, party members in the state remained dedicated and steadfast with the party. According to him, the trailer load of over 1000 bags of rice and other items to blend it were not to induce them, but to appreciate are them for working for the party in the state. He reiterated the need for all hands to be on deck towards building a viable and formidable political party in the state, adding that those stagging a gang up against PDP in Imo State and Nigeria do not have what it takes to dislodge the party in any contest. He called on party leaders, critical stakeholders and members across the 305 wards in the state not to be deterred or allow political shenanigans of unstable politicians to distract them from working for the party. In attendance include, the 27 LGA Chairmen, women leaders, youth leaders, State Working Committee, Southeast leaders, former LGA Chairmanship candidates, stakeholders, critical leaders and special citizens, among others.
