The Anambra State Deputy Governor, Dr Onyekachukwu Ibezim was on Saturday literally rescued from angry youths who were dissatisfied with his unrighteous involvement in the bye election process within the Anambra South senatorial bye election in Osumenyi, Nnewi South LGA.


The deputy governor was held hostage for above one hour twenty minutes before news got across to security operatives and Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu came to his rescue.



Youths from the community who are dissatisfied with the development actually blocked the Deputy Governor's convoy.


"The governor's assistants beat me up, infact, rough handled me, snatched my phone and want to run away before the youths came to my aid." A victim said.


The youths said the Deputy Governor's presence in Osumenyi far away from his Awka home town is an abberation.


The Deputy Governor in an interview with journalists said that the issue would be handled legally.


At one of centers-Awo, Ezinifite voting center, more than one hundred members of the State vigilante and security operatives, aka, Udo-Ga-Achi prevented journalists, observers and election monitors from going into the venue. They reportedly claimed that "our deputy governor is inside with the INEC officials.


Even the arrival of the APC Governorship flagbearer, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu who came in when the SOS alarm by citizens reached him, arrived to broker peace.


The security operatives instantly cocked their guns, waving them menacingly at the capacity crowd who were there to cast their votes and protect same. Everyone instantly took to their heels.

It nearly became a free for fight.

DR JOHN NWOKEABIA LAUDS LABOUR PARTY FAITHFUL IN ENUGU STATE.

  The Leader of Labour Party in Enugu West Dr John Okechukwu Nwokebia has Commended the Labour Party faithful over their Conduct in yesterday's Local government Council Election in Enugu State. Gentlemen of the Labor Party, what the PDP and Enugu State Government did in making sure that the ENSIEC LGA elections were not free and fair did not come as a surprise to us.  They made it known through their agents that they were going to write the results of the elections even before the votes were cast. That was why there were no results sheets delivered in any pooling boot in Enugu State.  This was possible because PDP was the judge and the jury in the conduct of their elections. As a result, the will of the people was suppressed, resulting in another setback for Nigeria democracy.  I encourage our labor party members not to be dismayed because the PDP are cowards. It's only a coward who would incidously execute such mayhem against the right of the people with the cover o...

Conduct challenges Court's integrity .. as he invaded court with musicians, dances, masqurades, and food - An Anambra State High Court sitting at Ogidi, Idemili Judicial Division, Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State, presided over by Hon Justice Chukwudi Nwankwo has saved the neck of the dethroned traditional ruler of Alor community in Idemili South Council of the State, Chief Mac-Anthony Chinedu Elibe Okonkwo from prison over contempt charge, for now.
