NIGERIAN NOTCH

  By Collins Ughalaa KSC  It appears we have not heard the last of Emeka Ihedioha's post-defeat stress disorder. Yesterday, the Emeka-nized Imo PDP released another cocktail of lies titled IMO ASSEMBLY: UZODINMA AND REIGN OF TYRANNY. In this propaganda, the deserted party tried to project Governor Hope Uzodinma as a tyrant. They tried to clothe him with every vice commonly known to have characterised Ihedioha's seven-and-a-half month misrule in Imo. Ever since this haughty Emeka was cast down from power, he has tried relentlessly to inflict Imo with his delusions to no avail, yet he continues to try. Although fully aware that the said write-up, as usual, was prepared for the diaspora, with a view to discouraging investment (the party is despised at home since it adopted Emeka as sole heir) we respond for the sake of posterity.  Did you know that despite posing as Governor for 231 days, Imo people never forced Emeka Ihedioha to return his illegitimate salaries and jumbo al...

The truth must always be said otherwise the wrong things become culture. We would like to start by thanking president Muhammadu Buhari (commander in chief Fedral republic of Nigeria) for his positive disposition towards the southeast in his recent appointments, and directing Federal government policies that tilt towards giving the south east what is duly and truly theirs. In the same breath, we would also like to commend and appreciate our country’s chief law officer, the attorney general and the entire ministry of justice for standing up for imo people against the unjust, unfair and illegal status quo that rivers state government has been benefiting from at the expense of imo-lites in previously dispossessing imo-lites of oil wells that legally belong to us. The FG filed a counter affidavit against the writ of summons rivers state government lodged, with respect to the disputed oil wells.  The actions of rivers state government go against the boundary between it and imo state, as ...

The governorship candidate of Young Progressives Party (YPP) in the November 6 election in Anambra State, Senator Ifeanyi Ubah has restated his confidence in the credibility of the poll come November 6th 2021. He said Anambra was too sophisticated for anybody to attempt to rig it, saying he had the mechanisms to announce the results before the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Ubah who spoke in Nnewi on Monday in reaction to a widespread fear that a certain political party had concluded plans to rig the poll, said a lot of factors had indicated that the election would be credible.

Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State has congratulated the publisher of Eastern Lead Express, Mr. Declan Anaele, on his election as the new Chairman of Imo Newspaper Publishers Association (INPA), weekend. Anaele emerged winner in an election where he was a sole candidate, getting endorsed by 14 of his members in a voice vote.
