Widows Group Storms Abuja To Celebrate AMMC Coordinator Obuah On 63rd Birthday

In a touching display of appreciation, members of the Peculiar Widows’ Forum travelled from all the way from Makurdi, Benue State, to the nation’s capital city to honour Chief Felix Amaechi Obuah, Coordinator of the Abuja Metropolitan Management Council (AMMC), as he marked his 63rd birthday anniversary.

For decades, this Rivers State native has poured his heart into philanthropy, humanitarian aid, and uplifting the less-privileged—acts that bridged states and touched lives far beyond his own.

Leading the delegation, Regina Peter spoke with raw emotion, her words echoing the group’s profound gratitude. “I thank this man of vision and ambition who chose to wipe tears from our eyes,” she said.

“The Bible tells us that giving to a widow or the poor is giving to God Himself. He has become our prayer point—we gather to pray for him. We have representatives in the House, Senators, and governors among us, yet none stepped forward. A stranger chose to help, and in Jesus’ name, he will go far and fulfill his destiny.”

Also speaking, secretary of the Widows Forum, Esther Dominic, painted Chief Obuah as more than an icon—a hero and father figure. “He has a genuine passion for the less-privileged,” she declared.

“God will crown him with favour because he loves us as we love him. When no one remembered us, he gave us food. Even though we’re not from Rivers or Delta States, he’s always been there, wiping our secret tears and giving us hope amid insurgency’s challenges.”

The widows hailed Obuah as a God-fearing man of the people, praying that divine answers would honour his secret pleas.

“Words can’t express our love, We deem it fit to honour him here, and whatever he’s seeking, he will surely get. Better days lie ahead—even as governor,” she added.

Their tribute set a warm tone for the intimate gathering, highlighting the ripple effect of Chief Obuah’s selfless service.

Humbled and grateful, Chief Obuah responded with characteristic modesty. “Today, I’ve added another year, but by God’s special grace, I’m healthy and happy,” he said.

“I never planned a celebration, but the love from these widows who’ve journeyed from Makurdi overwhelms me. I give God all the glory. I’ll keep putting smiles on faces and adding value to lives. Nicknamed ‘Go Round,’ I believe no matter how small, help should reach everyone.

“Even on a low-key day in the office, this joy is priceless.”

A prominent businessman and philanthropist, Chief Obuah leads AMMC with vision, driving urban development, security enhancements, environmental cleanliness, and infrastructure improvements in Nigeria’s capital.

His philanthropy extends nationwide, supporting education, healthcare, and marginalised groups. Colleagues and beneficiaries alike praised his integrity, humility, and unwavering commitment.

The quiet birthday gathering stood as a powerful testament to one man’s legacy: a life of compassion that inspires, unites, and transforms.
