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

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 …

Why Mbaise Should Be Carved Out As A State In The South-East

Why Mbaise Should Be Carved Out As A State In The South-East

June 8, 2023 3:15 am

So much has been said about the creation of a new state in the south eastern part of Nigeria that it now looks as though it has become a persistent outcry for something that should really not have required such prolonged attention before it is given the attention it deserves.

Some might even begin to wonder if there is any sense in creating another state in the south east when the current states on ground still require a lot of work to attain the level of a well-run state. Some could even come up with diverse reasons to justify leaving …

Tony Ejiogu: Why Imo Must Seek A New Deal

June 5, 2023 2:23 am

For many decades, the trend has been for shadily ‘selected’ political rulers to keep a few people pacified, amassing a lot of wealth for themselves and their few selected partners. They sometimes rule with an iron fist, yet, prior to commencing the campaign for their second term, they begin to embark on a well hatched plot to deceive the masses. They immediately commence on visible projects—typically road construction which has unfortunately become the yard stick to measure performance.

By offering a very insignificant piece of the pie, they win the support of traditional leaders and selfish opinion molders, who then …

Imo Guber Race: Why Tony Ejiogu Has To Be Elected Governor

May 22, 2023 3:20 am

Amidst all the chaos that ensues during election cycles, especially in Nigeria and Imo state in particular, it can be very easy to lose sight of the most important parameter to be considered as far as elections are concerned; the worthiness of the candidates. Without a doubt, it stands at the topmost of the hierarchy of things to consider when making a go at ascertaining who is best fit to pilot the affairs of the people. This alone has the capacity to make or mar a state as well as the masses and the results they expect.

One of …

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

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 …

The Time To Save Imo Is Now!

At drinking bars, in small circles, and in big gatherings, indeed anywhere you find Imolites, politics is sure to be a major topic of discussion. Most will say their state has wallowed in abject misrule for many years. They will criticise the different shades of politicians they feel have taken turns to rape and bastardise their state, keeping her painfully underdeveloped. Sadly, this is the impression of most Imolites.

The docility of the electorate has allowed politicians in most states in Nigeria to do as they please without any form of resistance. Over the years, elections and electoral processes have …

Imo 2023: Opposition Must Unite To Defeat Uzodinma – Chukwu

April 24, 2023 4:50 am

Following the conclusion of the primary elections for various parties ahead of the November gubernatorial elections in Imo State, political gladiators have once again returned to the drawing table to develop strategies on how to either wrestle power away from or help Governor Hope Uzodinma to retain his position in Douglas House. One of these politicians who will play a major role in making that decision is Hon. Athan Chukwu. 

Hon Chukwu was a councilor during the military regime of IBB and has been in active politics for over three decades. He is a political leader in Emekuku Ward 2 …

Imo On Ajaero: Uzodinma’s Delusion Is Beyond Redemption

March 16, 2023 5:41 am

Nigeria has become the theatre of the absurd in recent times. It has become a bizarre place where governments at all levels have enthroned themselves as Lords and masters over their citizens who they consider slaves who must abide by their dictates or perish. At the subnational levels where Governors exist, the situation is a very regrettable one as these Governors who are in charge of their respective states have made it a duty to control everyone and everything without any form of limitations.

It is no longer news that apart from official State matters as clearly stated in the …

Lack Of Respect For Zoning Fuelling Crisis In Imo – Chukwu

Ahead of the November gubernatorial elections in Imo State, gladiators are already positioning to either wrestle power from the incumbent Governor, Hope Uzodinma, or support him to retain his position in Douglas House. One of the notable politicians who will play a major role in making that decision is Hon. Athan Chukwu.

Hon Chukwu was a councilor during the military regime of IBB and has been in active politics for over three decades. He is a political leader in Emekuku ward 2 and a renowned stakeholder in Owerri North.

In this interview with Africa Digital News, New York, he shares …

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 …
