The father of Ebonyi State Governor, Chief Ezekiel Nwifuru Nwankpu, who married 30 wives and has 108 children, has been crowned the traditional ruler of Oferekpe Agbaja Autonomous Community in Izzi Local Government Area of the state.


Known for his successful farming career, Ezeogo Nwankpu married 30 women, although some left due to childlessness. He currently lives with 17 wives and has fathered 108 children, including Governor Francis Nwifuru, who is from his fourth wife. Among his children, 21 are graduates, with many having been individually supported by their mothers for their education.


At the coronation, Governor Nwifuru presented his father with a certificate and staff of office, in accordance with Ebonyi State’s Local Government and Chieftaincy Law. Reflecting on the family's past hardships, Nwifuru shared how they endured mistreatment, including the murder of his uncle and forced land acquisition by the villagers.


The new traditional ruler oversees 17 villages, and in his speech, Governor Nwifuru praised his father for his hard work and hospitality. He encouraged him to be just, generous, and promote peace and unity in his community.


The coronation ceremony was attended by prominent figures, including former governors of the state, senators, and other state officials, with Chief Godwin Ogbaga commending Nwankpu's contributions to the community and recognizing the role of his son, Governor Nwifuru, in facilitating the process.
