FELIX Amaechi Obuah is a man of many parts. He wears dual caps – a politician and a business mogul. Several Nigerians residing outside the shores of Rivers State are well aware of the politician, being the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Part (PDP). However, the personality of this illustrious son of Rivers State towers higher than politics.
Obuah is also an astute businessman, with tentacles in oil and gas, hospitality and construction. His 150-room five-star hotel, Krisdera Hotels and Resorts, is incontrovertibly one of the best in the country.
