Ishiekwene had a stint at the Accountancy Tutors PLC., a private institution dedicated to the learning and teaching of Professional Accounting and passed out in 1991 with distinctions which ultimately qualified him as a World Class in Strategic Planning & Financial Management and that is the apex of Global World Class Professional Examination.

This great son of Anioma left teaching in 1998 as he returned to his primary calling - Professional Accounting taking up a job at Saint Michael and London Voluntary Service Council, London N7 both of which are Non Governmental Organisations, NGOs managing Charity Accounts.

As a Financial Accounting wizard, OTI worked with the Amnesty International, at their International Secretariat in London WC1, as Financial Accountant- Fixed Assets and Payroll Administration between 2014 and 2015. When he wins as the Senator representing Delta North, OTI hopes to dedicate his victory to the GOOD PEOPLE OF ANIOMA Nation and to the memory of his late friend and school mate, Clement Ngbor Ojie, with whom he was involved in ghastly motor accident some years ago. While he survived by dint of the grace of God, his friend wasn't as lucky. On the crest of Anioma unity and accelerated development, OTI drives his campaign.
