Enugu’s Tax Harvest of Tears: Peter Mbah's Monument of Exclusions And The Cry of Traders, Motorists and Transporters

Image
The tragicomedy of governance currently unfolding in Enugu State has reached a fever pitch, degenerating into an unvarnished economic siege against the very citizens the government swore to protect. The civil unrest that recently rocked the Enugu State especially, the Main Market axis was not an isolated event; it was the inevitable eruption of an overburdened, frustrated, and economically strangled populace reaching its absolute breaking point under an administration determined to squeeze every last naira out of its people through relentless taxation. Yet, true to form, the Enugu State Government has responded with insultingly disingenuous spin. Through press statements dismissing the uprising as drivers merely "seeking designated parking spaces" and blaming "desperate opposition infiltrators," the administration attempts to cover up the cries of daily earners. To claim that hundreds of motorists, commercial bus drivers, and tricycle operators shut down major trans...

Why Ijegalu Must Win: A Case for Udi North

Image
The Enugu State House of Assembly is not a retirement home for the weak-willed. It is a battlefield for ideas, for resources, for the soul of our communities. And battlefields are not for spectators. They are for strong willed men. That is why the candidacy of Hon. Ijegalu Andrew Chidozie for Udi North Constituency is not just another contest. It is the best thing that will happen to great people of Udi North, especially the youths. Politics, at its best, is not an exercise in political pageantry or joking around; it is the organized will of the people finding a voice strong enough to carry it. Ijegalu, a true son of the soil, embodies that voice. He did not descend upon Udi North from some distant boardroom of privilege, he rose from its soil, walked its paths, and understands the texture of its struggles because he has lived them. This is what separates a politician from a Comrade: proximity to pain, and the will to answer it. Hon. Ijegalu Andrew Chidozie is a true Comrade.  What...

Udi South 2027: Ndi Amokwe Uwani Uboji Ngwo Pledge Support for Hon. Owelle

Image
  Yesterday, Sunday 13th September, 2026 (Uka Eke), Hon. Ugochukwu Eneh Owelle, the NDC candidate for Enugu State House of Assembly, Udi South Constituency, visited Ndi Amokwe Uwani, Uboji Ngwo, as part of his grassroots engagement tour aimed at bringing government closer to the people. During the interactive session, Hon. Owelle engaged the community directly, asking what kind of people-oriented laws and development priorities they would want him to champion if elected as their lawmaker. It was a lively and engaging meeting. Ndi Amokwe Uwani asked many thoughtful questions, and Hon. Owelle answered them brilliantly, one after another. His clarity, sincerity, and deep understanding of the issues drew resounding applause, with the entire congregation pledging their votes and unflinching support for Hon. Ugochukwu Eneh Owelle and the NDC. In a moving moment, the highly revered Legend of Uboji Ngwo, Rev. Ugwuagu, prayed for Hon. Owelle and blessed him with the blessings of our forefat...

OFFICIAL STATEMENT: Office of the Media Aide to Sir Christian Chinyeaka Ohaa, NDC Governorship Candidate, Enugu State.

  16th September, 2026 Yesterday, I visited the hospital where our party members who were shot during a politically motivated attack at Ihuani Awkunanaw, Obuofia, Nkanu West LGA, Enugu state, on Saturday, 12/09/26, are receiving treatment. What I saw was deeply painful and heartbreaking. The scale of the violence inflicted on peaceful NDC members is far more severe than earlier reported. *But for devine intervention, the known gunmen aimed at mass murder.* Below is the current medical situation of the victims as at the time of my visit: 1) Onovo Donald, Ward Councillor – shot in the head, neck, leg and hand. Scan shows a total of 5 bullets in his body.   2) Maduka Ngene – shot in the right hand.   3) Ogbodo Gloria – shot in the right breast and hand. She is still carrying 1 bullet in the breast.   4) Obinna Owoh – shot in both legs, both hands and the chest. Scan shows a total of 6 bullets in his body.   5) Ugwu Nnaemeka – shot in the leg, ha...

NDC Or Nothing: As OSY ACHI’S Popularity Deepens In Aninri

Image
  ....a response to desperate political propaganda  When a man is dragged through the mud by rumours, slanderers and backbiters, it is often an indication that his presence is being felt and that he is fighting a good fight.  Nobody throws stones at a fruitless mango tree. It is therefore not surprising that, as the popularity and acceptance of the NDC candidate for Aninri State House of Assembly, Hon. Surv. Osita Patrick Achi, continue to deepen across Aninri, desperate political elements have resorted to circulating fabricated stories about his alleged defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Let's state it clearly to any one who cares to listen Surv. Osita Patrick Achi has not defected from the NDC, and there is no truth whatsoever in the rumour of his alleged movement to the APC. The attempt to manufacture such a story is nothing more than a desperate political tactic by those who are increasingly uncomfortable with his growing acceptance among the peo...

Why Uche Kingsley ENEH Represents The New Face Of Enugu West

Image
  Enugu West does not need another politician coming with promises of piecemeal solutions, patching one problem today only to face another tomorrow. That is not how meaningful progress is built. What Enugu West needs is a new kind of leadership: one that understands the future, sees beyond today, and has the competence, courage, and compassion to deliberately build the Enugu West we deserve. That is why Hon. Uche Kingsley Eneh represents the new face of Enugu West. His vision is not merely about piecemeal patching or monthly stipend that ends in one week. It is about transforming the five Local Government Areas into a zone where technology, skills, enterprise, agriculture, infrastructure and human capital development become the foundation of prosperity. Imagine an Enugu West where every Local Government Area has access to a world-class ICT hub, connecting young people to the digital economy and opening doors to opportunities beyond geographical boundaries. Imagine world-class skill...

Enugu Govt Drags Sir Chinyeaka Ohaa TO DSS: Weaponizing Security Agencies To Cover Up A Dying Healthcare System

Image
There is a striking tragedy in watching an administration lose its moral compass in real-time. When governance collapses entirely, it reverts to farce, and that is the exact state of affairs in Enugu today. Our state currently sits in the quiet grip of systemic paralysis. The judiciary, the ultimate sanctuary of justice, is now shut down following an industrial strike embarked upon by workers under the umbrella of the Judiciary Staff Union of Nigeria (JUSUN), Enugu State Branch, on September 10, 2026, effectively bringing the entire court system in the state to a standstill. The reason? The alleged wilful refusal of Governor Peter Mbah’s administration to fulfil its own part of the bargain in implementing the Consolidated Judiciary Salary Structure (CONJUS). Resident doctors, the critical line of defense between life and death, are also on strike due to dismal living conditions and poor remuneration. ESUT lecturers stand on the precipice of industrial action. The fundamental pillars o...
