The governor was taken round specific areas of the Aguleri jungle by Chidi Mokeme, the Anchor man of Gulder Ultimate Search 11.

The governor saw the different task areas where the contestants engaged in various gruelling challenges.

He was then taken to their base camp where he met the Gulder Ultimate Search 11 warriors. The governor’s “Wee!” chant was met with an electrifying “Wah!” response from all Gulder Ultimate Search contestants.

After taking a glimpse at their jungle abode, he sought to know if the contestants built their shelters themselves, and they confirmed that they did.

He also asked them how they coped when it rained and the contestants replied that they are accustomed to the sometimes harsh conditions of the jungle. He wished them well and pledged to be available to crown the Ultimate Champion on Saturday, November 1.

The governor was particularly fascinated by the Place Of The Talking Drum; where the nchor sits to discuss various issues with the contestants.

He said: “I’ve just been taken round the jungle and I saw the living arrangements, what they have to pass through to be able to discover the treasure. It was a very exciting sight for me. It reminds me of my Boys Scout days. I even shared some chants that we used to do during my Boys Scout days with the contestants. I will see how I can borrow some

ideas here and perhaps implement it for the Anambra Youths; once in a while, we might consider them to have a feel of the jungle.
