THE COUNCIL AGREED THAT ALL PERCEIVED CONSPIRACY BY INEC REC MRS. SYLVIA AGU WITH HOPE UZODINMA TO RIG THE GUBER ELECTION WILL HIT BRICK ROCK.

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!

IMO GOVERNMENT OKAYS N500 MILLION INTERVENTION FOR INYISHI ALUMINIUM COMPANY AND APPROVES MASSIVE RURAL DEVELOPMENT DRIVE.

Published

6- NOV- 2025

The Imo State Government, under the leadership of Governor Hope Uzodimma, has announced a strategic financial intervention to revive the long-abandoned Inyishi Aluminium Company in Ikeduru Local Government Area. The State Executive Council approved a N500 million lifeline to restore operations at the industrial facility, which has remained inactive for several decades, signaling a renewed commitment to industrial rejuvenation and job creation.

At a press briefing following the council meeting, the Commissioner for Information, Public Orientation and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, disclosed that the approval reflects the government’s plan to stimulate economic activity through resuscitation of dormant industries, particularly those capable of revitalizing local manufacturing and employment.

In addition to the revival fund, the council also approved the construction of 40 strategic roads across the three senatorial zones — Okigwe, Orlu, and Owerri. This move forms part of the administration’s comprehensive rural development agenda, focused on enhancing accessibility, improving transportation networks, and stimulating grassroots economic growth in all 27 local government areas.

To further enhance public sector efficiency, the council sanctioned the procurement of new government vehicles to support seamless administrative operations across ministries and agencies.

Emelumba noted that the administration has set up an inter-ministerial committee tasked with designing a development blueprint to ensure equitable infrastructural deployment, bridging the gap between urban and rural communities and ensuring balanced growth.

He further disclosed that the council has approved a 15 percent consultancy fee to Trace Wide Consult for its successful efforts in the review and recovery of unpaid liquefied natural gas dividends and oil revenues dating back to January 1999.

Speaking on digital innovation, the Commissioner announced the commencement of recruitment for the fourth batch of the Skill-Up Imo Project. Interested applicants were encouraged to apply through the MyImoApp, which is available free of charge to residents.

In a related development, the state government awarded a contract to Imo Digital City for the management of Land Information Services and the digitalisation of all land-related transactions for the next 25 years. All land transactions in the state, he said, would now be conducted electronically and through cashless systems.

On preparations for the upcoming Imo Economic and Investment Summit scheduled for December 4–5, Emelumba revealed that a dedicated committee has been inaugurated, and at least 13 financial institutions are expected to participate as partners and sponsors.

He also confirmed that the newly refurbished Imo Concord Hilton Hotel would be opened to the public before Christmas. The iconic hospitality facility has been redesigned to attract visitors and holidaymakers within Nigeria and the diaspora.

In a solemn announcement, Emelumba conveyed the council’s sadness over the death of Dr. Daniel Ogacheke, the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Trade, Commerce and Investment. He stated that a government delegation would attend the burial and offer financial support to the bereaved family.

Providing an update on the state’s electricity infrastructure, the Commissioner for Power and Electrification, Nwabueze Ogushienti, informed the public that the upgrade of power transmission infrastructure is in progress. The first phase includes the

Soludo has done what Priests like you have failed to do. You have abandoned the gospel for inanities while these “Terror!sts” you baptized have introduced idolatry posing the biggest threat to the Christian faith- Mazi Ejimofor fires back at Fada Angelo Chidi

Published

The SSA to Governor Soludo on New Media, Dr Mazi Ejimofor Opara has replied the Catholic Clergyman, Fade Angelo Chidi, over his recent criticism on Governor Soludo.

Fada Angelo Chidi had earlier accused Prof Chukwuma Soludo, of trying to water down the stance of Donald Trump on Christian Genocide when Governor Soludo mentioned that he knows the full identity of the terrorists in Southeast.

The Catholic priest asked why Soludo hasn’t arrested or stopped any of the terrorists if he claims he knows them. Fada Angelo in his statement asserted that Soludo is destroying his own legacy just to be in the good books of APC

In his response to Fada Angelo Chidi, The SSA to Governor Soludo, Mazi Ejimofor first corrected The priest by stating that “You don’t arrest terrorists! You send them to their maker.”

Ejimofor revealed that some of the communities in Anambra where some unknown guπmen have invaded, are the Parishioners of priest and that the priest’s ignorance enabled this invasion. According to Ejimofor

“Those of them in Orsumoghu, Lilu, Mbosi, Uli and Ukpor were your Parishioners. The very ones your deliberate ignorance enabled. You baptized them and they bore names like “Emmanuel, Peter, Angelo, Paul” etc.”

“They got into the bushes and you further baptized them and named them UGM… Soludo unmasked them after they had keeled innocent people, burnt houses and destroyed churches… I am sure Bishop Jonas Benson would gladly point you to some of their houses.”

Mazi Ejimofor further asserted that Governor Charles did what the priest Failed to do by unmasking the true identity of these criminals. Ejimofor implicitly stated that fada Angelo Chidi, has lost his focus by abandoning the Gospel which he is called to preach, to seek for followers on Facebook and maybe the money that comes from engagement on his page.

“Soludo has done what Priests like you have failed to do. You have abandoned the gospel for inanities while these “Terror!sts” have introduced idolatry posing the biggest threat to the Christian faith. Yet, you are here on Facebook seeking for follow, mentions and traffic. And may be, Meta money! Continue Padre!”

PRESIDENT TINUBU EULOGISES PROMINENT JOURNALIST & FORMER PRESIDENTIAL ADVISER, DR. REUBEN ABATI, AT 60

Published

on

 

I extend my warmest felicitations to Dr Reuben Abati, renowned journalist and former presidential adviser, on his 60th birthday, November 7, 2025.

A public intellectual, author, columnist, law graduate and broadcaster, Dr Abati has distinguished himself wherever he has traversed: in the university as a student and later as a Graduate Assistant, as Chairman of the Editorial Board of The Guardian, as a writer and presently as a television anchor.

His insightful articles, regular interventions and television analyses have continued to enlighten and inspire.

I commend Dr Abati for his service to Nigeria as Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Goodluck Jonathan, as well as his outstanding contributions to the media.

Dr Abati’s patriotism and passion as a public commentator who consistently brings his creativity, versatility and cross-sectoral experience to bear on issues of national interest, both on traditional and social media, are noteworthy.

I congratulate Dr Abati, whom I fondly call Rubi Rubi, on the presentation of three books on his birthday, titled: “Portraits: People, Politics and Society”, “A Love Letter and Other Stories”, and “How Goodluck Jonathan Became President”.

I join the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), family members, and friends in celebrating this notable writer.

On this occasion of Abati’s 60th birthday, I pray that Almighty God grant him a longer life, good health, and the inspiration to continue serving the nation and humanity.

Happy Birthday, Rubi!
Bola Tinubu,
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
