Imo Election: How Uzodinma Schemed Himself Back Into Power

Imo Election: How Uzodinma Schemed Himself Back Into Power

November 19, 2023 11:26 pm

In a striking blow to the already tumultuous political landscape of Imo State, the 2023 gubernatorial election has taken a darker turn with the brutal beating of NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, certainly by thugs loyal to Governor Hope Uzodinma. This violent act, amidst the swirling controversy of electoral malpractice, has not only deepened the crisis surrounding Uzodinma’s re-election but also highlighted the perilous state of political dissent and freedom in the region.

The assault on Comrade Ajaero, a respected labour leader and vocal critic of Uzodinma’s maladministration, sends a chilling message about the lengths to which those in …

2023 Imo Guber: Uzodinma's Dubious Charter Pursuit

2023 Imo Guber: Uzodinma’s Dubious Charter Pursuit

October 9, 2023 3:14 am

The Charter of Equity, for the uninitiated, is not a mere political document. It’s a testament to the collective aspiration of Imo’s citizenry for balanced representation in governance. With the Orlu zone’s leadership extending over two decades, the charter’s spirit appears to be at risk. The Owerri zone’s fleeting leadership moments, captured during the tenures of Senator Evans Enwerem and Hon Emeka Ihedioha, only punctuate this imbalance further.

Governor Uzodinma’s reign, apparently, is another chapter in a long-standing narrative of Orlu dominance, casting a shadow over the aspirations and hopes of the Owerri Zone populace. While leadership styles and strategies …

Orlu Rulers' Shameful Endorsement Of Uzodinma's 2nd Term

Orlu Rulers’ Shameful Endorsement Of Uzodinma’s 2nd Term

September 4, 2023 2:18 am

In the evolving political theatre of Imo State, the actions of traditional rulers from Orlu Local Government Area have turned the spotlight on the state’s leadership crisis. These traditional rulers, who are expected to be the conscience of their communities, have paradoxically thrown their weight behind Governor Hope Uzodinma for a second term. The endorsement is startling given that it arrives in the context of mounting security challenges, conspicuous failures in governance, and a myriad of human rights abuses that have characterised Uzodinma’s regime. This spectacle raises unnerving questions about the ethical compass guiding Nigeria’s traditional institutions, particularly as the …

The Exposé: Why Tinubu Is Blocking Uzodinma's Second Term

The Exposé: Why Tinubu Is Blocking Uzodinma’s Second Term

August 28, 2023 3:42 am

In the labyrinthine corridors of Nigerian politics, where alliances are as fragile as glass and betrayals are as common as the shifting sands, President Bola Tinubu emerges as a master tactician, adept at the delicate game of political chess. However, even a seasoned player like him finds himself at a complex crossroads. Tinubu, the once presidential torchbearer for the All Progressives Congress (APC), is navigating treacherous waters as he faces the enigma of Governor Hope Uzodinma’s re-election in Imo State. On the surface, party lines suggest a natural alignment of interests. Yet, as we delve into the underbelly of this …

Uzodinma Has Never Been And Will Never Be Imo's Choice

Uzodinma Has Never Been And Will Never Be Imo’s Choice

August 21, 2023 4:47 am

In the vast and tumultuous political trajectory of Nigeria, few situations resonate as loudly and profoundly as the ongoing scenario in Imo State. As the currents of governance and leadership flow, rarely has a leader’s tenure been as scrutinised and contentious as that of Hope Uzodinma. His journey at the helm of the state has become emblematic of the clash between political ambition and the genuine needs and desires of the people.

From the moment he assumed office, Uzodinma’s governorship has been dogged by whispers and, oftentimes, outright accusations of electoral fraud. These allegations have not only cast a …

Imo State's $293M Debt: Time For Governor Uzodinma To Step Down

Imo State’s $293M Debt: Time For Governor Uzodinma To Step Down

August 10, 2023 3:56 am

In the land of Imo State, Nigeria, a looming fiscal disaster casts an ominous shadow, highlighting a governance crisis that reaches far beyond mere numbers. A staggering debt of $293 million hangs over the people. But this financial mismanagement is not an isolated incident; it is a symptom of a pattern that reveals a leader bereft of integrity, responsibility, and the basic acumen to govern.

Uzodinma’s record is marred with accusations of fraud, including a troubling arrest in 2018 for failure to execute a $12 million contract. His actions in office further underscore a man driven by self-interest, seemingly …

2023 Imo Guber: Why Governor Uzodinma Must Be Sacked

2023 Imo Guber: Why Governor Uzodinma Must Be Sacked

July 3, 2023 2:57 am

It is barely four months before Imolites head to the polls again to have a say on their political destiny. The last time they spoke in resounding terms, their choices were invalidated by judicial buccaneers in Abuja who imposed an unpopular Governor on them, but nevertheless, Imolites must fight again, this time, their mission will ultimately be to eject the beneficiary of that injustice from Douglas House.

In any democratic country around the world where democracy is practiced in the real sense of it, the power to effect change in leadership lies within the hands of the people and not …

Imo Guber Uzodinma, Achonu, Anyanwu Have Nothing To Offer

Imo Guber: Uzodinma, Achonu, Anyanwu Have Nothing To Offer

June 22, 2023 3:53 am

Recently, most of the major political parties in Nigeria demonstrated to Imolites that their love for money and material things was way bigger than their love for the future of the country. They did this through the quality of candidates they settled for ahead of the November gubernatorial election.

The emergence of the incumbent Governor Hope Uzodinma as the candidate of Nigeria’s ruling party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Samuel Anyanwu as the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and Athan Achonu as the candidate of the rave of the moment, Labour Party has in no small …

Owed Gratuities And More: Why NLC Shouldn't Spare Uzodinma

Owed Gratuities And More: Why NLC Shouldn’t Spare Uzodinma

May 8, 2023 3:41 am

Imo was not perfect but she was not doing badly until the Nigerian Supreme Court decided in its wisdom to impose an unpopular dictator on over six million people. Almost dramatically, things went sour quite drastically. Then again, rather than make genuine efforts to reconcile his ways with the people whose hearts he shattered and whose mandate he stole, the beneficiary of that unholy heist, Hope Uzodinma resorted to high-handedness and blatant dictatorship, and the result is well-written all over the state.

It is regrettably sad that a state that once prided itself as the Eastern Heartland which conveniently provided …

Imo Guber Race It Would Be A Sin For Uzodinma To Return

Imo Guber Race: It Would Be A Sin For Uzodinma To Return

May 4, 2023 3:56 am

The 11th November gubernatorial elections in Imo State will perhaps be the most important opportunity Imolites have to prove that they’re not spinless cowards whose electoral mandates can be stolen without consequences. Indeed, a victory for the incumbent Governor of the State, Hope Uzodinma will not only be an unforgivable sin, it is one that can inflict monumental damages to the aspirations of Ndigbo in Nigeria.

Prior to his assumption of duty as the Numero Uno in Douglas House, Uzodinma was roundly rejected by Imolites in the 2019 polls yet riding on certain dangerous wings in Abuja, he imposed himself …

Imo Uzodinma Will Be Deluding Himself For A Second Term

Imo: Uzodinma Will Be Deluding Himself For A Second Term

December 29, 2022 2:28 am

Following his emergence as Governor on the 14th of January 2020 through what he has now agreed to be ‘Ben Johnson’ theatrics, Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodinma had just one job, win the hearts of Ndi Imo, sadly he has failed abysmally at that task. Why then is he seeking re-election?

Deep down within Governor Uzodinma’s dark heart, he knows he was not the Governor that was voted by the people of Imo State. Just like the former Governor of Osun State, Gboyega Oyetola who was declared winner of the Osun State Governorship election in a contest that many Nigerians …
