NIGERIAN NOTCH

  By: Cajetan Duke On Saturday, November 13, 2021, the leaders and apologists of the opposition People's Democratic Party PDP in Imo State, shamelessly gathered again at the All Saints Anglican Cathedral, Egbu, Owerri North LGA, this time around in what they termed 4th anniversary of 'Egbu Declaration'. It was purportedly organized by a faceless organization called Coalition for Owerri Zone Re-awakening.  Ordinarily, such cosmetic and superficial political gathering without a clear-cut sense of direction, completely lacking in specifity and accuracy doesn't deserve critical and objective commentary, if not for the deliberate attempt by its promoters to mislead the unsuspecting members of the public. As irrelevant as that gathering of political wailers turned out to be, it is important to bring to the knowledge of the public that the event as packaged, was a political gathering or rally by the leadership of the opposition People's Democratic Party. It aims to continu...

By Hon. NZENWA JOHN CHUKWUEKE -Describes Occasion As Egbu Declaration. Ahead of the 2023 general election, the leadership of the PDP in Owerri Zone has set aside today Saturday, November 13 for declaration. Information to this medium revealed that the ceremony which will begin by 12 noon today would have in attendance the PDP big wigs in Owerri Zone as the issue of who flies the party's flag for the Governorship would be the main agenda of the meeting. In a bid to outsmart the security Agents from interrupting the Governorship declaration which the law forbids from taking place at this time, the organisers of the program deceptively declared the occasion, "Egbu Declaration" A source close from the group hinted this medium that one of the 2019  Governorship aspirants from Owerri Zone who also wants to declare his Governorship ambition today has challenged the people of Owerri Zone PDP to see 2023 as the last hope for the PDP to take the governance of Imo pointing out that ...

By Collins Ughalaa KSC  Last year we came across a book written by Barr. Willie Amadi titled *SECOND CHANCE*. Willie Amadi is no new name in Imo State politics. He was Special Adviser under former Governor Ikedi Ohakim. He later became a Commissioner at the Public Complaints Commission, otherwise called OMBUDSMAN. He has been involved in various political arrangements since 2011 when Ohakim left office. Few days ago we had cause to read his book we had forgotten on the shelf. It was Hon. Ethelbert Okere, the Director General of the Imo State Orientation Agency, that called our mind back to the book.  Writing on *"HON HENRY NWAWUBA: AMAZING BRILLIANCE POLLUTED BY SOPHISTRY"*, Okere delved into Ihedioha's purported victory at the 2019 governorship polls. The reference to the book forced us to open it for the very first time and we read it from cover to cover. We are amazed at the quantum of revelation in the book, especially as it concerns the 2019 governorship election in ...

.......SAYS HE IS COMMITTED TO ‘FREEING ANAMBRA FROM THE CHAINS OF BAD GOVERNANCE Two years ago when I announced me intention to run for the governorship of Anambra, my singular reason was to provide the kind of governance that my people would be proud of. Today, that reason is still clear, present, and urgent.  The Governorship candidate of PDP Valentine Chineto Ozigbo says that the battle to Goverment House Awka is not over yet. He made this assertion today while speaking with newsmen in Awka, Anambra state capital.  He said that "With the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the result of the governorship election held in Anambra State held on Saturday as inconclusive many are wondering what my stance is." "I am in the race. My party the PDP is still in the race.  Election will hold Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 9, 2021, in Ihiala Local Government Area. The fate of Anambra is now in their hands. I know they will choose rightly tomorro...

- HON. KENNEDY IBEH EMERGE NEW SPEAKER The Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Paul Emeziem has been impeached as the Speaker during the House plenary session today following several allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office. The former Speaker was impeached following the unanimous decision of the 19 members out of 27 lawmakers in a signed letter read on the floor of the house which accused the former Speaker of gross misconduct and abuse of office. Rt. Hon. Kennedy Ibeh who is the member representing Obowo State Constituency has been sworn in immediately as the Speaker of the Imo State House of Assembly. Recall that over the past weeks, the former Speaker Paul Emeziem has been called out to resign and several groups in the state calling on his colleagues to suspend him over what they described as unconstitutional and undemocratic activities of the former Speaker in the State Assembly ranging from Anti-party activities, withholding of members allowances, ille...

A malicious and sentimentally-driven content with the headline as referenced above, authored and signed by one Collins Opurozor (who is an unrecognized office assistant to the Imo State Chapter of the opposition party, the PDP) has been in circulation since yesterday with the intent to divert attention and focus from a project they have no stake other than to cause failure on others however, having eluded him of that glory, it's only proper that the record is set appropriately and he be schooled. Undoubtedly, the opposition party the PDP, are on a deliberate mission to foment, brew, package and dispatch propaganda to be consumed by the public with the sole aim of pitching the people against the Government. Don't get it twisted, it's not about the past but ahead of the 2023 Governorship Election in Imo State. This wild goose chase has reactivated everything unpatriotic from their DNA, including their responsibilities and obligations as an opposition party in order to have a ...

  GACIY receives Government's disclosure of a "fresh plot by politicians to destabilize Imo" with a mix of concern and frustration. The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon Declan Emelumba, told newsmen on Tuesday that "a former governor of the state and other disgruntled politicians have voted a hefty N5b with which to trigger another round of security crisis in the state." Emelumba went on to add that "a serving member of the House of Representatives from Imo State is coordinating the destabilization plot." That "part of the plot is to raise a petition to the Inspector General of Police that security has collapsed in the state and that the government has been overwhelmed by the challenges. They are going to use the recent unfortunate fate of our two Royal Fathers from Njaba to anchor their campaign." These terrorists, looters and mandate thieves want to force the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Imo, leading t...
