….

The Imo State Government has called for the arrest and questioning of one Ikenga Ugochinyere for claiming that Voter Registration in Omuma, the home Ward of Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State was inflated with fictitious names. The Imo State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Hon. Declan Emelumba made the call on Friday September 16, 2022 during a media conference that "ignoring the spurious and seditious outburst of Ugochinyere will amount to condoning criminality." He therefore called on the relevant security agencies to "immediately arrest the said Ugochinyere to find out from him how he obtained the voters register he has been parading before the public even when the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC is still at the stage of Automated Biometric Verification of Systems, which must be concluded before an official voters register can be released to the public." The Commissioner said that "INEC has issued an official statement on the above

While we deeply appreciate the President and  Commander In Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, President Buhari , the National Security Adviser Gen Monguno , the Inspector General Of Police, the State Governor, and the heads of the other security agencies as well as others too numerous to mention who all reached out to commiserate with the Senator over this unfortunate incident.  We still insist that getting to the root of this assasination attempt will go a long way in assuaging the badly traumatised feelings of the numerous lovers , followers and well wishers of the Distinguish Senator representing Anambra South Senatorial District  and Leader of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah.  They must understand that this particular assasination attempt must never go unravelled and the perpetrators MUST be brought to book .

  By Jennifer John  President Muhammadu Buhari has heaped plaudits on Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State for his tenacity and prudent management of scarce resources which enabled him to record overwhelming achievements within a short period of time in office. President Buhari made this assertion in his address at the Banquet hall of Imo State Government House, Owerri, after commissioning; the Owerri-Orlu Road, Owerri-Okigwe Road (Phase 1), and the renovated Imo House of Assembly Complex, which he said was three out of the fifty projects  presented to him for commissioning by  Governor Uzodimma. He said with such intimidating achievements and judging by the fact that he has been to the state two times within one year to commission projects, other state governors may be afraid to invite him. "Having known that I have been here twice and considering my honest comment on what I saw, not what I heard, maybe they are not prepared to invite me and I don't mind not being invited. He

The Senator started his speech at the Anglican synod event in Ozubulu (his last event for the day before the assasination attempt ) , with the following song.  Obi m dele du gi atuna ujo  Obi m dele duu, Chukwu malu ife oma oga emele mu,  obi m dele duu.  (My heart be at rest and do not be afraid for God knows the goods things he has in stock for me ). In all that you do , pls learn to read spiritual messages and get interpretations where necessary.  In retrospect, one can now clearly see that God made clear attempts to warn us  that harm is being plotted for his special son and sent emissaries to not just forewarn about it but to also nip it in the bud . In the attached screenshot,  a member of Ubahnation family by name Ugonwa Miracle Francisca Ugwonwa  reached out to me on the 3rd of September (the Senator's birthday date) and warned me clearly about a plot on the life of Senator Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah. She asked that I inform the Senator to be careful.I thanked her and I didn&#

From where the President commissioned the Imo State House of Assembly Complex Owerri; the Owerri-Okigwe road (phase one) at Amaraku and the Owerri-Orlu road at banana junction, Orlu. While commissioning the projects, President Muhammadu Buhari commended Governor Hope Uzodimma for his visionary leadership and infrastructural development across the State.
