Anambra guber: Ozubulu community roots for Nwoye

Hundreds of All Progressives Congress (APC) supporters, on Wednesday, gathered at Ozubulu in Ekwusigo Local Government Area of Anambra State with a firm resolve that the party would take over the state come November 18.

The APC supporters mobilised and took the resolution at the instance of Chief Kingsley Nzomiwu Obuikwu, Tochukwu Ofoegbu and other stakeholders at Ozubulu Ward Three, who embarked on sensitisation mission at the rural community.

One of the special guests at the event was deputy director, election matters of Tony Nwoye campaign organisation, Mr. Jude Onyeka, who declared that Anambra State would only enjoy the dividends of democracy from the center when the APC government took over in the state.

Onyeka also said that anybody, who understood the dynamics of politics, should know that the best for any state was to get connected to a party in control at the centre, and do away with political parties like the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) which presence was only felt in one state.

He said with the APGA, Anambra State has been choked up as far as national politics was concerned.

He defined the candidacy of Tony Nwoye as a good thing that had happened to the State based on the fact that, according to him, Nwoye is a grassroots man, vibrant, a dogged fighter for the rights of the people. He gave an instance of Dr Nwoye’s leadership as the President of National Association of Nigerian Students Union which endeared him to many youths in Nigeria. He said that Nwoye’s popularity stood him out.

Chief Obuikwu while addressing the supporters told them that since the bane of the Nigerian society is corruption, supporting the APC whose leader and President of this country, Muhammadu Buhari is a highly disciplined person becomes of essence.

He said the APGA’s propaganda, nke a bu nke anyi (this is our own) with late Chief Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu’s picture stood as a deceit and should not be taken serious by Anambra people.

“When I see bill boards here and there bearing the slogan, nke a bu nke anyi I laugh because I know it is a deceit. They are only after their pockets. After governor Peter Obi, it is no longer ours but their. Ours will begin to come when Nwoye is elected governor of Anambra State who will now begin to go to Abuja to bring what is really ours from Abuja,” Obuikwu submitted.

Some other party bigwigs at the event were Chief Okoye Kevin, Jude Obidiugwu, Edward Okoye, Chief Mrs Nnenna Umazi, among others.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body. As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...

Rivers Governmnet, PDP Disagree Over $280 million Looan

The Rivers State Government and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are currently at loggerheads over the request by the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for a $280m loan for water and sanitation projects. While the state PDP said that the latest request for loan by the state government was unnecessary due to the resources accruing to the state through the federal allocation and internally generated revenue, the government said it was not true that the funds were to be used for 2015 elections. The state House of Assembly had on Monday endorsed Amaechi’s request for loan for water supply and sanitation projects. But the state PDP, in a statement, signed by the Special Adviser to its Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, said the request for loan was aimed at punishing the governor’s successor in 2015. The party called on members of the House of Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Finance, the African Development Bank and the World Bank not to honour the loan re...

2019: Northern youths kick as Northwest APC lawmakers endorse Buhari

The leadership of the Arewa Youth Forum on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari does not deserve any endorsement for the 2019 presidency. Reacting to a purported endorsement by some serving All Progressives Congress’s lawmakers from the Northwest in Kaduna, the AYF’s National President, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu, said Buhari was not fit to return as president in 2019. The AYF argued that with the killing spree all over the country, especially in the North, Buhari should serve his mandatory four years term and quit the stage for another Northerner. Gujungu noted that one sour point about President Buhari’s 2019 ambition was his claim that the killings across the country were being carried out by “desperate politicians”, yet he had not arrested even a single suspect. The AYF president, therefore, said Nigerians should blame the president for the attacks on innocent citizens. The AYF boss who spoke to our correspondent on phone on Monday, said the President’s cl...
