Ikukuoma Anambra: Here comes the Governor

Image
 By Chuks Collins, Awka It's very cheering to acknowledge the numerous heartwarming reactions already generated by the recent formal presentation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Anambra State Governorship flag for the fast approaching November 8,2025 election to the candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma) by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It really goes without saying that the choice of a consummate politician like Prince Ukachukwu as the flagbearer of APC is very commendable. The reactions generated so far are indeed reassuring that the party and her members made very good decision in electing him at the primary. Ikukuoma is a name that opens political doors. It opens business, religious and social doors nationwide all seasons, day and night, etc. As true democrats, we indeed warmly welcome the open discomfort his emergence and collection of flag has been generating within political families of other parties. Why not? Ikukuoma has over the years stood o...

Dr. JOHN NWOKEABIA PAY TRIBUTE TO THE CHUKWU FAMILY

Image
My heart goes out to the Chukwu family during this incredibly difficult time. The passing of Mrs. Chukwu is a devastating loss, coming on the heels of the tragic assassination of her beloved husband, Barrister Oyibo Chukwu. Barrister Chukwu's untimely death shocked the nation and particularly members of the Labour Party, but his legacy lives on through the remarkable resilience of his family. Despite her own health challenges, Mrs. Chukwu's spirit remained unbroken, and her passing marks the end of a chapter in the family's journey of grief. I commend the family's strength and courage in the face of unimaginable pain. May the memories of Barrister Oyibo and Mrs. Chukwu bring you comfort, and may their legacy continue to inspire and uplift you. I join the entire people and government of Enugu State to pray that you find solace in God, strength in the love and support of friends, family, and the Labour Party community during this trying time. Rest in peace, Barrister...

Sudo's dangerous security gamble.

Image
From Engr Reuben Okafor, Ukpor, May 19,2025 The insecurity situation in Anambra State has now appeared insurmountable. It's becoming gangantuan. Just like the legendary Sambisa forest which our leaders and security chiefs made us believe is larger than Nigeria, hence cannot be swept by ground or aerial combat. But one need to ask who actually benefits from our insecurity? Gov Chukwuma Soludo must answer to Ndi Anambra and the world why the State's security apparatii were (deliberately) withdrawn from Nnewi South Council area; a very busy border escape point. Just recently, a President-General (PG) and his friend were shot dead in cold blood, while on their way home from attending a court session. This was another painful addition to the seeming endless list of unrestrained bloodshed under Soludo's watch.  Surprisingly, instead of reinforcing security, the Governor chose to  pull out operatives from that same volatile region. Who does that kind of thing at such a time? Excep...

Your policies are anti-masses -Prophet slams Soludo

Image
From Chuks Collins, Awka May 15,2025 An Anambra based cleric and Spiritual Head of Soul Revival Outreach, Nnewi in Nnewi North Council of Anambra State, Prophet Ikechukwu Uzukwu has accused Prof Charles Soludo of running an administration that is anti-masses. The Prophet who was speaking with journalists on Sunday said it was ridiculous that the Governor dragged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to Anambra State to commission just Governor's Lodge and Fun City which he noted was an embarrassment to the people of the state. He recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan came to Anambra State in 2012 to commission Orient Petroleum, Orange Drugs, Onitsha Inland Port, Upper Iweka eight lanes Highway, amongst other very strategic people oriented projects. "Gov Soludo has been claiming to whoever that cares to listen that Anambra State is the safest state in Nigeria, I want him to come to Orsumoghu in Ihiala LGA at the boundary between Ukpor in Nnewi South LGA without his retinue of his sec...

Soludo's media at a glance

Image
 By Chike Obalum It is becoming evident that part of the problems of Mr Governor of Anambra State, Prof Charles Soludo is his Media Team. Like the Governor, members of his media team lack discretion and are not media savvy. They write nonsense where sound judgment should prevail. In an election year when advocacy for re-election of their principal should be their concern, these jumped-up hacks and doomed conformists are trying hard to undo their principal. They seem to have renewed their effort at poking fingers into every eye in the state that sees differently from their principal's point of view even if the eye has a better vision.    They are always prodigal in abuse, but exiguous in projecting the image of the government they serve. But it appears that the supposed refined Professor of Economics is enjoying the whole drama, apparently out of sheer ignorance. He visibly cares less how low, and to what ridicule, the artillery of abuse has reduced the rating of his admin...
