NIGERIAN NOTCH

As we move closer to another presidential election in 2023, many Nigerians have started canvassing for diverse options and opinions on who becomes the next President of Nigeria, after President Muhammadu Buhari. While some are of the opinion that the position of the President should not be zoned to any particular geopolitical zone, many are of the view that the South East should be given a chance to produce the next President of Nigeria after President Muhammadu Buhari.  Recently, Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide, led by Prof George Obiozor, made it clear and also insisted that the South-east as a matter of equity and fairness should produce Buhari’s successor.

There is no evidence in history to show that any race can ever become great through violence or self destruction and when a man begins to urinate into a well which he drinks from, it only proves that he is on a suicide mission. I think that as a people who have suffered and endured a brutal past, we should be wiser than that”. Imo State Governor, Dist. Sen. Hope Uzodimma has once again reiterated his position that violence, criminality and destruction is not and can never be the way out or way to go in addressing the concerns of Ndi Igbo in Nigeria.

By Ikechukwu  Anyanwu  The Speaker of Imo State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Barr Kennedy Ibeh, has clarified that the decision  of the House to declare the seat of Nkwerre State Constituency vacant  Is a constitutional responsibility rather than personal. The speaker made the clarification on Thursday,  during a press conference with House correspondents in his office.  He said that once a motion is brought to the House and seconded,  such motion is ripe for debate and the Speaker is bound by the law, rules and regulations of the House to listen to the debate on the floor of the house and  to put up such matters  for votes.
