As she stepped into the Hall on the 18th of October 2023, during the Birthday Anniversary of the Executive Governor of Cross Rivers State, His Excellency Senator Bassey Edet Otu, Her Excellency Dr Mrs Oluchi Elijah Ojukwu shone like a thousand Stars on a bright moonlight.
Ever so radiant, the Celebrity Mummy was the cynosure of all eyes and she conquered the show by her magnificent yet simple outlook.
Mummy Oluchi Elijah Ojukwu (a.k.a. Eke Ogba Jesus) who is the President General of Umunwanyi Igbo Amaka Global is also a respected Servant of God who operates in the office of a Prophetess. Her Healing and Deliverance Ministry is functioning under the name of God’s Weapon Deliverance International Church Inc. Unlike most Religious Centres that believes so much in self-aggrandizement, Mummy Oluchi is known to spend the Church Tithes and Offerings in providing welfare packages for Widows, Needies and the Physically Challenged members of the society. She also runs a Nursery, Primary and Secondary School where the Pupils and Students are on Scholarships and of course her Hospitals and Clinics where Patients are treated at little or no cost.
Her invitation to attend the Governor’s Birthday Ceremony is seen as another open door for the Umunwanyi Igbo Amaka Global and the Prophetic Ministry she operates. The Governor was born on the 18th of October 1959, into the family of late Elder and Mrs. Edet Okon Otu of Adiobo in Odukpani LGA of Cross Rivers State.

He obtained a Bachelor Degree in the Faculty of Social Sciences from the University of Calabar. Before entering politics, he was engaged in Banking and then the Petroleum Sector. He is also into Farming.
