SHOCKER!! IHEDIOHA MAKES U-TURN, SUBMITS TO SAM DADDY, LABELS IMO PDP FIFTH COLUMNISTS

Unable to reverse it, former PDP governorship candidate, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha, has accepted the sole nomination of Sen. Samuel Anyanwu (Sam Daddy) for the post of National Secretary in the party's October 30/31 national convention. The former lawmaker also lambasted overzealous supporters for writing against the nomination describing them as "fifth columnists". In a statement, 5 days after the nomination, media aide Chibuike Onyeukwu said Ihedioha had come to accept the decision taken by party stakeholders in the zone and had reached out to Sam Daddy to be carried along. But supporters are not to blame. Ihedioha fell mute soon after Sam Daddy's emergence prompting his loyalists in the state chapter to issue all manner of disclaimers and counter narratives vowing that Ihedioha would upturn the decision. Ahead of the PDP's convention, the crucial post of national secretary was zoned to the South East and subsequently ceded to Imo State. Ihedioha, sources say, had

Samuel Anyanwu popularly known as Sam Daddy, has set the stage for a successful take over of the party structure, not just in the State, but eventually, in the Southeast and beyond. That press release had in it, a note of gloating, as it says the emergence of Sam Daddy was a display of maturity! As an unabashed Saraki ally, and a notable Wike camper, it goes without saying that Sam Daddy has got all the aces he needs to not only get his pound of flesh from the Mbutu born, supreme court sacked politician, but also to see to it that dead things stay dead! We live in a short memory country, but it is still fresh in many a mind, that within the 7 months' misadventure of Ihedioha in Imo State, he tried his best to, literally, set fire on all sectors of the state, simu

ANAMBRA 2021: IN DR. CHIDOZIE NWANKWO, AAC, GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE, WE HAVE A HOME GROWN GOVERNOR.

Anambra State is blessed with Human and Material Resources. Since the creation of the State, we have heard Governors who have governed the State. The only two best so far who have distinguished themselves in governance of the State are Senator Dr. Chris Ngige and Mr. Peter Obi. The sole reason for their wonderful performances and prudent management of resources is very simple. They were homegrown. They lived with us, eat our food, travel on our roads and understand our Predicaments. In fact, they have the local sense needed to place Anambra State where it rightly belonged. Today, Ndi Anambra can see the difference between Dr. Chirs Ngige, Mr. Peter Obi and Governor Willie Obiano. It is very obvious an "Importee" cannot do much because he does not understand the terrain. As November 6 Anambra Gubernatorial poll approaches, Dr. Wilson Chidozie Nwankwo is stepping forward with a practical home-grown solution to the challenges bedeviling the State. It is an understatement to say
