By Okwuchukwu Eke  Those who have keenly followed Gov Hope Uzodinma s attempt to browbeat his way into unmerited second term, may have noticed that one of the strategies he adopted for achieving that was taking over structures of key opposition parties. He was particularly interested in taking over the Labour Party ahead of the governorship election, because he saw it as his biggest stumbling block to winning reelection. His fear had strong and credible basis. Forget the fact that he used coercive forces of state and badly compromised Imo…

By Onwuasoanya FCC Jones Let me first of all say that I am delighted with the solidarity displayed by members of the Peoples Democratic Party’s State Working Committee and critical leaders of that Party when they were invited by the Police yesterday. The impression of those whom Uzodimma used to write that frivolous petition is that the Party in Imo State is not United, and they believe that any member invited by the Police would be abandoned by the others to answer for himself, but with the solidarity shown yesterday…

By Ikenna Onuoha A lot has been said concerning the November 11 Governorship election in Imo state. Members of different political parties are currently in the business of speculative tales and promotion of fake rytorics to impugn the reputation of their opponents with a view to scoring cheap political relevance. To ascertain the relevance of the tales of falsehood, there is need to place the two major Governorship contenders, Samdaddy of PDP and Uzodinma of APC side by side. With this informatic analysis, the public will have access to their…

By Bolade Emupenne Removal of Fuel Subsidy without palliative measures in place is suicidal. And the diversionary tactics of not probing all who have enriched themselves thereby is the height of political hypocrisy. Naira Devaluation without consolidating on nation’s economic potentials is counter-productive and needless. Systematic withdrawal of educational aid through the introduction of a clumsy student loan is not any less laughable. Planned unjustified Hike in electricity tariff as from 1st of July 2023, in an era of epileptic and paralytic power supply, will further diminish investment profiles in…

By Onwuasoanya FCC Jones  The Russian FSB has announced that it is beginning an investigation into Yevegeny Prigozhyn whom they accuse of inciting rebellion against the Russian military. Arguably the closest person outside the conventional military to President Putin, Prigozin is known by the alias,  “Putin’s Chef”, which further underscores his closeness to the Russian strongman , and it is my analysis that the Wagner Private Military Company which Prigozin runs is meant to serve as Putin’s fallback option in a situation he falls out with the Russian conventional military.…

…Plans to Make Imo Safe, Sealed Deal Hope Uzodinma and his APC government in Imo state are afraid of the rising popularity of the Governorship Candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the state, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu and his plans to make Imo the safest and freest state, East of the Niger. To achieve this, business communities, stakeholders, leaders, artisans, market women, youths and political juggernauts in the state are showing reasonable interest to join the PDP candidate, Senator Anyanwu to return the lost glory of the state. In…

Gentlemen of the press, we as a party are aware that some of your colleagues were invited to an unauthorized press briefing yesterday by seven (7) unrepentant saboteurs of our party, in which they attempted to make several spurious and unfounded allegations against the party and our Dear National Secetary and Governorship Candidate, Senator Samuel Nnaemeka Anyanwu. The primary essence of this briefing is to categorically state that these allegations are mere figments of their imagination, and that, these characters are merely attempting to blackmail the party into stopping the…

By Joseph Aniemeka Nwachukwu The history of God’s dealings with his people is a story of God responding to the cry of the people for deliverance from forces stronger than themselves. Thus, in ancient times there were Moses, Samson, David and others, while in modern times there were George Washington of the United States, Mahatma Ghandi of India, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Paul Kagame of Rwanda and others. Today, Imo State has a truly far sighted leader in the mold of these charismatic leaders in the person of Governor…
