AS OHANAEZE YOUTH COUNCIL DEMANDS IMMEDIATE EXECUTIVE DISBANDMENT OF EBUBE AGU BY PRESIDENT AHMED BOLA TINUBU.
URGED NDI IMO TO REJECT GOV. HOPE UZODINMA RE-ELECTION; CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE REDEPLOYMENT OF ALL SECURITY CHIEFS IN IMO & INEC REC MRS. SYLVIA AGU.
The Communique reads:
1. In view of the current conspiracy and political permutations of Gov. Hope Uzodinma with one Mrs. Sylvia Agu Imo State Resident Election Commissioner (REC), the apex Igbo youth organization world wide, Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC) hereby issues stringent warning to Gov. Hope Uzodinma of All Progressive Congress (APC ) as well as his stooge, Mrs. Sylvia Agu, the Resident Election Commissioner(REC) to jettison any plan or attempt to rig Imo guber election. The Ohanaeze youth reaffirms that all plans made by Mrs. Sylvia Agu and Gov. Hope Uzodinma to rig the said election has been uncovered by intelligence desk of Ohanaeze Youth Council(OYC)
2. To restore peace in Imo State, we call on Mr. President Ahmed Bola Tinubu, Inspector General of Police and Chief of army staff for immediate redeployment of the INEC resident Commissioner, Mrs. Sylvia Agu, the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mohammed Barde, Civil Defense Commander and all the heads of security operatives in Imo State as they have compromised on the tenets of democracy and rule of law in the upcoming Imo governorship election.
3. Our thorough investigation revealed that Imo State has been in politico-economic servitude, perpetual fiefdom and sufferings since forty six (46) months now of Gov. Hope Uzodinma political administration in Imo State with its attendant lawlessness, executive impunity, political kill!ngs, destructi@ns of lives and property, hellish conditions of excess governmentalisation of both public and private lives as well as ruthless socio-political balk@nisation geared towards the d£struction of families ag@inst Imo people.
4. It not unconnected with the truth that Gov. Hope Uzodinma’s tyrann!cal, ruthl£ss, nepotic and bl00dth!rsty administration has subjected Imo citizen and others to untold terror, tortur£, dehumanisation, intimidations, threats of unnatural d£Athan, abus£ of human rights with Nigeria police force and clandestine personal foreign security agents such for example like Ebube Agu unknown to the Nigerian people and/or government.
5. An SOS call is hereby made to Mr. President, Ahmed Bola Tinubu, to immediately ban the operation of the said Ebube Agu being a deadlier militia group of Gov. Hope Uzodinma as the past experiences of the activities of Ebube Agu and its current operational activities in Imo State indicate strong ties with Gov. Hope Uzodinma using Ebube Agu as a ki!ler squad against his political opponents in the upcoming guber election on the 11th day of November, 2023.
6.It’s no longer a story akin to that of fairytales and/or of a rocket science that Gov. Hope Uzodinma, out of undue political desperations and latent wickedness as well as ruthlessness, has ushered untold hardship, penury and killing of vibrant young Nigerian youths and others with his said Ebube Agu militia group. We call on the Imolites and Ndigbo to reject Gov. Hope Uzodinma’s re-election bid while it is our warning to Ndi Imo and/or Ndi Igbo that the second tenure of Gov. Hope Uzodinma, if allowed, would make Imo State to be like Somalia where human lives mean to nothing.
7. We acknowledged that Gov. Hope Uzodinma and the Commissioner of Police, Mohammed Barde, have tangled in inseparable corruption deals and this accounts for the lone reason why Gov. Hope Uzodinma made a heavy bribe and defied the transfer of Mohammed Barde with Commissioner of Police, Stephen Olarewaju, even since May, 2023 against the release for changes and/or reshuffling of Commissioners of Police made by the Police Service Commission across some States.
8.It’s shocking that under his careless administration, first in the history of Imo State, Eight (8) traditional rulers have lost their lives in the hands of the complained agents of deaths of both non-State actors, foreign security agents of the repressive and despotic Gov. Hope Uzodinma. It’s on record that around July, 2022, Imo State caught fire and was plunged into a historic bloodbath by the bloodthirsty government of Gov. Hope Uzodinma and fourteen (14) innocent Imo youths were gruesomely but extra-judicially murdered in Otulu, Oru West LGA after returning from a traditional wedding. They were killed in horrific, gory and barbaric manner by the Ebube Agu milit!a Group employed and being under the bankrolling of Gov. Hope Uzodinma which death sellers of security terrorism is unknown to the Nigerian government. The details of this fact are published in both local tabloids and national dailies.
9.We wept at the horr0r report of the International Society For Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) by a renowned, respected criminologist, Comrade Emeka Umeagbalasi which revealed that “in 29 Months (from Jan., 2021- May, 2023), under Gov. Hope Uzodinma in Imo State, Nigeria: security forces (the Tiger Base) and the allied milit!as k!lled 900 un@rmed citizens, wounded 700, arbitrarily arrested and detained 3500, extorted 1,400, disappeared 300, burn£d down 1,200 civilian houses, displaced their 30,000 owners and forced 500,000 citizens in active age-brackets to flee to escape being shot and k!lled or abduct£d and disappeared in security custody as armed non-State actors, counterfeit agitators, death squads, street vi0lent crim!nal entities, etc, k!lled 700 (400 in Captivity and 300 in open sho0tings) and abduct£d 900.
10. We condemn in its entirety the executive rascality and impunity of the tyr@nt governor, Hope Uzodinma, on the attempted murder of Comrade Joe Ajaero, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) President by Gov. Hope Uzodinma and his killers aids squad and urged every Labour Union members to mobilise voters against Gov. Hope Uzodinma on 11th day of November governorship election.
11. We urged Imolites and all the respecters of humans lives to come out em mass and collect every dollar and Naira the Gov. Hope Uzodinma’s bl00dth!rsty, ruthl£ss and tyrannic@l government will share on the election day but ensure and avoid generational curses, we charge the Imolites to dedicate such money from Gov. Hope Uzodinma to God before using it as such money has been cast with spell. Such money is from Imo allocation but dedicated to devil Altar. We implore Ndi Imo to collect the money and vote against Gov. Hope Uzodinma’s ev!l, w!cked, insecur!ty and bl00dth sucking government.
12. Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), on behalf of Igbo youths world wide, observed one minute silence in the honour of the Igbo youths whose lives were cut off in their prime, our Imo/Igbo future leaders who d!ed at their pools of blood under Gov. Hope Uzodinma’s tyrannic@l, ruthl£ss, bl00d suck!ng government. May their souls rest in perfect peace, amen!
Signed:
Comrade Igboayaka O. Igboayaka

2027: Atiku’s eyes on ADC ticket, PDP may be forced to back him – Sambo

The Director of News and Politics Editor of Arise Television, Sumner Sambo, says the African Democratic Congress, ADC, is planning to secure a presidential ticket for former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.
Sambo stated this on Monday’s edition of ‘The Morning Show’.
According to him, people are also saying that if Atiku gets the ADC ticket, and things go very well for him, then PDP in one way or the other, may be forced to support his presidential bid.
“The major problem of the ADC right now is that INEC has not even listed David Mark as the national chairman of the ADC, and Atiku hasn’t picked the party’s membership form,” he said.
Ekwutosblog recalls that Atiku had assured his followers that he would be running for the presidency in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking through one of his spokespersons during the 2023 presidential election, Tunde Olusunle, the former Vice-President said he would run again in 2027 because Nigeria needs to be saved from the Intensive Care Unit under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

INEC recognises me, Barde is fake – Danladi Yau on Gombe ADC chairmanship dispute

The leadership crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) in Gombe State has deepened, with Malam Danladi Yau insisting that he remains the authentic chairman of the party.
Speaking to journalists shortly after the State Executive Council meeting in Gombe last Friday, Yau dismissed claims by Alhaji Auwal Abba Barde, who has continued to parade himself as chairman of the party.
“I am the authentic chairman of the ADC in Gombe State, recognised by INEC. Anybody parading himself as chairman is fake. Barde was expelled in 2022, so how can he still claim leadership,” Yau said.
He displayed a letter of appointment and introduction issued to him by the ADC National Working Committee in December 2022, which also presented him to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as the acting chairman for the state.
Yau’s remarks came in response to a counter-announcement by Barde, who earlier declared the removal of Yau as state secretary alongside the deputy chairman and youth leader.
Despite his suspension in September 2022 by the national leadership over alleged anti-party activities, Barde has continued to command loyalty among some state executives.
According to Yau, Barde’s tenure as chairman expired in 2019 after serving the constitutionally permitted two terms of four years each.
He argued that Barde’s continued claim to leadership was illegal and damaging to the party’s credibility.
Pledging loyalty to the David Mark-led national leadership of the ADC, Yau announced plans to begin fresh membership registration across all 114 wards in Gombe State, saying the move was part of efforts to strengthen the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.
“The ADC under my leadership is working to rescue Nigeria from APC-induced hardship. With unity, mobilisation, and commitment, we can give Nigerians the alternative they deserve,” he added.

2027: I’ll run for presidency – Atiku clarifies ‘not desperate’ comment

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has assured his followers of running for the Presidency in 2027.
Atiku gave the clarification through one of his spokespersons during the 2023 presidential election, Tunde Olusunle.
Speaking with ThisDay, Olusunle said Atiku would run again in 2027 because Nigeria needs to be saved from the Intensive Care Unit under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Olusunle disclosed that Atiku made the clarification from his holiday home in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), after reading reports that he was not desperate to be president.
Speaking over the weekend, Ola Olateju, who represented Atiku at an event in Lagos, said the former Vice President was not desperate to be president.
Olateju said Atiku plans to build a better Nigeria.
However, Olusunle said Atiku disowned the statement, stressing that it was not from him.
“I did not issue that statement. When people stand in for me at events, we preview my thoughts on the instant subject and what my contribution or intervention will be, so we are on the same page.
“In this particular instance, there was no engagement with me to distill my thoughts. Prof. Olateju was not speaking for me.
“I will run in 2027. Nigeria needs to be decisively rescued from the intensive care unit it has been consigned. The degeneration in our country, the level of poverty and pain, the anguish, is unacceptable,” he said.
