THE MANY FAILURES OF HON. ANAYO ONWUEGBU: A DEMAND FOR ACCOUNTABILITY IN ANINRI/AWGU/OJI RIVER

Image
 The people of Aninri, Awgu and Oji River deserve more than political appearances, emergency visits and promises. They deserve effective, measurable and accountable representation. Hon. Anayo Onwuegbu has been in the National Assembly representing this constituency, and the time has come for constituents to ask fundamental questions about what has actually changed in their communities. 1. WHERE IS THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT? The National Assembly record shows that Onwuegbu raised the abandoned Ivo Multi-Purpose Earth Dam project in October 2024. The parliamentary record stated that the project had reached about 80% completion before inadequate budgetary provision contributed to its abandonment, while flooding continued to devastate communities around the dam. The question is simple: why should communities continue to suffer from a project that has been known for years to require completion? 2. THE OJI RIVER–AWGU ROAD CRISIS In May/June 2026, a major section of the Oji River–Awgu Federa...

68 DEVELOPMENT CENTRES: WHY DID THE MBAH ADMINISTRATION WAIT UNTIL NOW?

Image
 by Nebo Chukwujekwu Emmanuel Secretary, Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Enugu State The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Enugu State, views with serious concern the decision of the Mbah administration to constitute 68 Development Centres at a time when the administration has only about seven months left in office and the 2027 election is fast approaching. The administration tells Ndi Enugu that these centres are designed to provide broad-based representation, create effective community channels for contributing to government programmes, and ensure that its development agenda is implemented at the grassroots. But Ndi Enugu must ask the obvious question: WHY NOW? If these Development Centres are genuinely about grassroots development, community participation and effective representation, why did Governor Mbah's administration wait until the twilight of its tenure before establishing them? Why were these structures not created during the first year, second year, or even the midd...

Court denies fake Onitsha 'pastor' bail.

Image
  By Chuks Collins, Awka. Oct 6,2026 An Awka High Court this afternoon (Tuesday) denied the bail application brought before it by the General Overseer of Dayspring Assembly, Mr Harrison Anazodo, who is standing trial over multiple allegations described by the prosecution as involving his activities as a pastor. Anazodo had applied for bail on health grounds. The presiding judge, Justice Jude Obiora, turned down the application, citing concerns relating to witnesses expected to testify in the matter. This turn of events came about as seven persons believed to be members of his congregation were said to be prepared to testify against Anazodo as the trial progresses. Speaking shortly after the day's proceedings was adjourned to October 16, 2026, the state counsel, Mrs Victoria Ekwerekwu, commended the efforts of the Anambra State  Government in her committed efforts to tackle unwholesome practices capable of misleading young people in the society. She said, “We thank Governor Cha...

SUSPENSION OF IGWE WILLY EZUGWU: “HAS GOVERNMENT NOW BECOME THE AUTHORITY TO DECIDE WHO A MONARCH MAY RECEIVE?

Image
 — CHIEF ADOLPHUS Ikechukwu Igwe  An elder statesman and veteran political stakeholder in Enugu State, Chief Adolphus Ikechukwu Igwe, has condemned the suspension of the traditional ruler of Ibagwa-Opi Ogbozalla Autonomous Community, His Royal Highness, Igwe Willy Ezugwu, describing the development as one that raises serious questions about the relationship between government authority, traditional institutions and the fundamental freedoms of citizens. Speaking to journalists in Enugu, Chief Igwe said that, as a political old-school who has witnessed several administrations and political transitions in the state, he finds the circumstances surrounding the suspension deeply disturbing and deserving of sober public interrogation. Let me ask a very important question: has it now become an offence for an Igwe to receive visitors in his palace? Has the right of a traditional ruler to receive Nigerians who come to see him suddenly become subject to government approval?”» Chief Ikech...

The Return of Truth: Why Hon. Ugochukwu Eneh (OWELLE) Is Udi South's Undeniable Choice

Image
Every community reaches a crossroads where comfort must yield to courage, and Udi South has reached hers. For too long, we have sent representatives who arrived loudly and left quietly. We have applauded the most affluent and celebrated the loudest, yet our roads still weep, our clinics still wait, and our youth still wander. The verdict of history is plain: noise is not service, and affluence is not wisdom. Now comes Hon. Ugochukwu Eneh (Owelle), carrying what no campaign budget can purchase. Leadership is not an accident; it is the arrival of the right individual at a defining moment. For the Udi South constituency, that moment is now, and that candidate is Hon. Ugochukwu Eneh (Owelle). Born into a legacy of public service, his father having served as a distinguished civil servant who played a pivotal role in the creation of Enugu State, Hon. Eneh’s entry into public life is a natural continuation of a deep-seated commitment to governance and progress. True leadership cannot be rehea...
