 Obosi Councillor Donates Bus to Students, Leads Fight Against Cultism


By Chiedu Uche Okoye 


Hon. Obichukwu Anyafulu (Zik), Councillor for Obosi ward, has donated a bus to students, who attend schools located in Obosi. 


The councillor made the disclosure in an interview with the journalist at his Obosi country home, on July 11.


Hon. Anyafulu said that the humanitarian deed he performed for the students was borne out of his belief that education is the cornerstone of national development. 


"Education is the bedrock of national development. And only educated people who possess knowledge and skills can drive our developmental initiatives.


"Based on that, I don't want students in Obosi to stay at home on school days because their parents cannot give them transportation fares," he said. 


He further clarified that the bus would serve the additional purpose of conveying people to churches on

Sundays, stating that religion is a tool for moulding the personalities of young people.


More so, Hon. Anyafulu narrated how he waged battles, ceaselessly, to stem the tide of cult killings in the ancient Obosi kingdom.


In the past, Obosi town quaked with cult clashes, with their calamitous effects, which necessitated the formation of the Movement Against Cultism in Obosi (MACCOB), of which he is the leader.


According to him, members of MACCOB do host seminars in schools, periodically, the aim of which is to pre-empt and prevent young people from joining cult groups. 


Hon. Anyafulu further said that the glamorous funeral processions, which are given to deceased cultists, have been outlawed in the town, as it hold great fascination for cultists. And they fantasize about them.
