IMO APC,THE FIRST AMONG EQUALS IN SOUTH- EAST; MACDONALD EBERE PhD, a matador of political party administration.

Published

Hon. Sir Macdonald Ebere PhD, KSJI

 

The path of a man’s journey through politics can be predestined by providence and yet influenced by hard work and circumstances that may weave or belt a unique narrative/embroidery to the fabrics of his political trajectory; Macdonald Ebere PhD as a reference point.

The State Chairman of Imo APC Sir Macdonald Ebere beyond the calculations of Imolites, transformed the party splendidly to the extent that Imo APC is now veraciously conceptualized as the best and most organized state political party in the entire South East of Nigeria.

Upon his emergence as the democratically elected state Chairman of our great Party, he positively repositioned the party faithfully, thought energetically, spoke powerfully for the party and effectively represented the party in the highest cause that enlisted the devotion of a technocrat to political party management/Administration;

the agglutination of the above coruscating contributions to Imo APC by Hon. Sir Macdonald Ebere PhD, found eloquent expression in the titanic/unprecedented victory our great Party recorded in Sir Macdonald Ebere’s first electoral assignment, which is the Ngor Okpala state Constituency by-election. In that election, Macdonald Ebere PhD ventilated a political strength that is yet to be equalled in the political lexicon of party politics in the whole of South-East.

Macdonald Kelechi Ebere held aloft the banner of dexterity with courage and ability that compelled the political homage and fealty of Ngor Okpala constituents, who with credence to the state Chairman’s impeccable character, conduct, generosity of spirit, indomitable/political will, tact and resounding political sagacity and credentials, voted massively for our great Party and her candidate in the aforementioned election.

Imo is indeed blessed to have a state party Chairman in the mold of Hon. Sir Macdonald Ebere, whose political capacity gave Imo APC the congruent Numero Uno status in the assembly of South East political parties;

It’s pretty on record too, that the warm sunshine of Sir Macdonald Ebere’s political influence not only eclipsed/sequestrated the potency of other political parties in the South East, but also erosioned and melted down the proclivities of their prospects and possible resurrection to glory.

Truly, Sir Macdonald Ebere is a leading light and a towering multi-talented political connoisseur that has positively fumigated the political architecture of Imo APC to an enviable height, in obedience to the yearnings and demand of APC faithfuls in particular and Imolites at large.

At this point, I will equally give colossal kudos to our ebullient governor Distn. Sen. Hope Uzodinma (The political oxygen of South East), for mentoring Sir Macdonald Ebere from the political raw material/embryo stage, to his present political finished product stage. This healthy political tutelage from the Grand Master of Nigeria politics @ our vision driven governor Hope Odidika Uzodinma, helped Sir Macdonald Ebere beyond measure, to efficiently navigate the affairs of Imo APC congruently.

Hon. Macdonald Ebere cemented his political popularity dominance of the political parties spaces in the South-East on the 11th November 2023 Imo gubernatorial election, where he devastatingly and laceratively pummeled the opposition parties to oblivion. The Imo APC First citizen @ Macdonald Ebere systematically obliterated all the perceived thump arthritis of the capacity dehydrated opposition parties, boxed them to a suffocating/murderous corner, before unleashing his political inter continental ballistic missiles that got them sunk into ignominious vsssalage.

Macdonald Kelechi Ebere PhD, through the recorded November 11th 2023 gubernatorial resounding victory, carved a niche for himself and has equally beyond expression, broadened the field of State political party management to National dimensions.

The conglomeration of these uncommon/unprecedented feats by Imo APC, stands her out prominently, as not only the Primus inter pares political party in the entire South-East, but also positioned the Imo State APC Chairman Hon. Sir Macdonald Ebere PhD, KSJI, as the Numero Uno political party Chairman in the whole South-East.

Let it be recorded in the political lexicon of South-East and so be it.

Alleged N110.4bn Fraud: Yahaya Bello Loses Bid for Overseas Medical Trip

Published

on

 

 

Justice Maryanne Anineh of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, High Court, Maitama, Abuja, on Thursday, July 17, 2025, struck out an application by the former Kogi State governor, Yahaya Adoza Bello, for the release of his passport to enable him travel to the United Kingdom for medical treatment.

 

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, is prosecuting Bello alongside Umar Shuaibu Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu before Justice Anineh on a 16-count charge, bordering on criminal breach of trust and money laundering to the tune of N110.4 billion.

 

At the last sitting, Bello, through his counsel, J.B. Daudu, SAN, had made an application, dated June 19, 2025 and filed on June 20, 2025, praying for a temporary release of his passport to enable him attend a scheduled medical appointment in the United Kingdom, with an undertaking to return the passport to the court upon his return.

 

In his response to the application, prosecution counsel, Chukwudi Enebeli, SAN, however, urged the court to refuse the request, arguing that the application was aimed at altering the bail conditions the court imposed on the defendant, which required him to deposit his passport with the court.

 

He further argued that the defendant’s sureties ought to have been put on notice to confirm their continued willingness or not to remain as sureties if the defendant was permitted to travel out of the country.

 

The prosecution counsel further submitted that the defendant had engaged in abuse of court process by filing a similar application in another court, which was still pending.

 

“The proper thing would have been for the defendant to retrieve his passport from the other court and then apply for a travel permit before this court. Asking both courts to release the same passport at the same time creates the risk of conflicting orders, which is an abuse of process,” he said.

 

At the resumed sitting on Thursday, prosecution counsel, Jami’u Agburo, informed the court that the matter was for ruling on the application and that the prosecution was ready.

 

In her ruling, Justice Anineh held that her court lacked the jurisdiction to grant the application since the defendant’s passport was not held by her court.

 

“A review of the court’s record revealed that the applicant had previously been ordered to deposit his passport and other travel documents with the registry of the court. However, upon further inquiry and search conducted by the court, it was discovered that the said passport was not presently in the custody of the court’s registry but with the Federal High Court. The defendant even deposed to an affidavit himself, stating that his passport had been deposited with the Federal High Court in a bail earlier granted him.

 

“The simple logic is that the passport cannot be with two different courts at the same time. Since the defendant admitted depositing the passport with the Federal High Court, there is no reason making any order here in regards to the application. Courts don’t make orders in vain and as such, this court will not make any order that will be in vain since the passport in issue is not with this court but the Federal High Court,” she said.

She adjourned the case till October 8, 9 and November 13, 2025, for continuation of trial.

Buhari did not loot Nigeria’s treasury – Akpabio

Published

on

Senate President Godswill Akpabio has lauded the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, describing him as a leader who served Nigeria without embezzling the nation’s treasury.

Akpabio made the remarks on Thursday at an expanded Federal Executive Council meeting held in Abuja in honour of Buhari.

The President of the Senate noted that even the former president’s critics would concede that he did not misappropriate public funds while in office.

He said, “Let us be honest, he was tough. He was a soldier who did not flinch under fire, a leader who did not flee from responsibility, and above all, a Nigerian whose loyalty to this nation was never up for sale.

“His toughness was born not out of pride but of a patriotism, a fierce, unrelenting belief that Nigeria, with all its challenges, was still worth fighting for. And yet some disagree with him.

“That is the nature of democracy. But even his fiercest critics will admit that he did not pilfer the nation’s boss, nor pander to its pleasures to the very end.”

Present at the special FEC meeting were members of the National Assembly leadership, ministers, governors, and the children of the late leader, led by his son, Yusuf.

The former Governor of Akwa Ibom State further stated that Buhari sought duty when others sought glory, describing him as a leader who did not flee from challenges.

“President Buhari did not merely pass through the corridors of power; he left his boots and imprints in them. He believed that discipline mattered, that integrity mattered, that leadership, even when lonely, must be anchored on something greater than power,” he added.

Ekwutosblog reports that Buhari served as military Head of State between 1983 and 1985 and as a civilian president for eight years, from 2015 to 2023.

He died on Sunday at a clinic in London at the age of 82 and was buried in his hometown, Daura, Katsina State.
