By Onwuasoanya FCC Jones As we are all aware, the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, shall be in Imo on official working visit on the 9th of September, 2021. The President's visit to Imo is his first working visit to the State since taking office in 2015 and the first time the State is hosting a President on working visit since 2009.  This visit is especially significant given the recent communication from the governor of Imo State, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, to the effect that the President is coming to put final seals on some strategic federal government interventions and partnerships which the Imo State government has agreed with the Federal Government. Also, a lineup of people oriented and audacious projects are scheduled to be unveiled and inaugurated for the use of Imo people and for our individual comfort, notwithstanding our political or social leanings. The President is a

Sen. Andy Uba’s Campaign Council (AUCC), says it is mischief for any person to allege that the All Progressive Congress (APC) candidate for the Anambra November governorship poll, Andy Uba will introduce open grazing in the state, if elected governor. A statement by the Director General of AUCC, Chief Paul Chukwuma on Tuesday in Awka Anambra state capital, said that Uba had never at any time made such statement promising to establish open grazing in Anambra state, If voted in as a governor. It said that at no time did Uba make any utterance concerning establishing open grazing in the state and urged the public to disregard the mischief in its entirety. It stated that Uba had always said he was coming to liberate Anambra from retrogression and move it to a greater height for the benefit of all. “We have observed with concern the reports in social media purporting that Distinguished Sen. Andy Uba, governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress, (APC), has made promises of introd

The Chairman of the Arewa Youths Forum Alhaji Adamu Garba has disclosed the availability of information linking the immediate past governor of Imo State Th Hon Emeka Ihedioha to clandestine plans toArewa Youths Forum warns Rt. Hon Emeka Ihedioha - Any attack on President Buhari and his entourage will be retaliated in the North attack and humiliate President Buhari in Imo State. Alhaji Garba in a statement in Abuja monitored by our correspondent revealed that the members of the Arewa community in Imo State has sent an SOS message to him on the heightened condemnation of the Presidential visit by persons closely connected with Ihedioha.  "If Ihedioha does not want northerners in Imo State,  then we don't want Southerners in the North, Garba warned. Speaking further Garba said, "we have our youths in Imo State who were born there. The report they sent us is very worrying on the undignified smearing of the person and office of President Mohammadu Buhari, and we will not hesit

By Levi Osuji Deception, recklessness and flagrant abuse of mental stability with falsehood and unbalanced statistics are the true definition of the opposition party - the PDP! In their desperation to cling on to the dwindling identity, they have continued to dissipate  the little energy that should have been channeled into resolving their internal crisis and possibly a rebrand. The ongoing infrastructural revolution of the Shared Prosperity administration of His Excellency the Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma continues to overwhelm their sense of reasoning as to what magic was applied to actualize all that had seemed impossible to them. They have however come to terms, the improved system of governance served on the people by the people's Governor.  Worried over the confirmed extinction of the PDP from the state, possibly from the nation, the Imo State PDP have resorted to feeding the populace with their characteristic propaganda, all in a bid to foist themselves on the people.

-PDP LESS OF AN OPPOSITION AND A PSEUDO- PARTY  It's out of respect for elders that I deemed it fit to respond to this referenced topic as written by one Ogu Bundu, a factional publicity secretary of the Mbutu social club of mbaise (PDP). As usual, I will try as much as I can to filter abusive words while driving home my points. However, it's expected that certain strong words would fly out inevitably owing to the falsehood propagated in the quoted content. It is rather absurd to continually contradicting oneself just to occupy a position in the media space. It's as well unfortunate that Ogu Bundu chose to surreptitiously feign ignorance of the duties, responsibilities and obligations of a Governor. The numerous unofficial and impotent international trips embarked upon by Hon. Emeka Ihedioha during his illegal occupation of Douglas House massages your ignorance, I guess! This obviously has transported you to a sphere where you repeatedly lie to yourself and your audience wi

By Collins Ughalaa KSC  ●IHEDIOHA DID NOT ATTRACT ANY FUNDS FROM HIS NUMEROUS TRIPS ABROAD. DON'T BELIEVE THEIR LIES Since our exposure of the lies peddled by the PDP in Imo State yesterday, the gates of the party have been forced open. To defend their hypocrisy and barefaced lies they resorted to cooking up more lies.  Ihedioha did not attract any funds from his numerous trips abroad. You cannot put something on nothing. It will collapse. Imo State must count one before counting two. The claim that Ihedioha attracted billions of Naira for quality control of agricultural produce in the State is spurious. You cannot attract funds overseas to control the quality of what does not exist, what you did not produce. It beats the imagination that the PDP could claim that the former Governor attracted over N6bn for quality control of agricultural products when there was no produce in the first place. Don't take my word for it. Ask yourself: where are the produce? You have to produce bef
