Misconduct: Activist accuses CBB of covering up petition against Soludo, appointees

An activist and two-time governorship candidate in Anambra State, Dr. Ifeanyichukwu Okonkwo has accused the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB) of trying to cover up his petition against Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Soludo and three of his appointees, for alleged misconduct.

Okonkwo had in the petition dated April 14, 2025 accused Soludo and his affected appointees of receiving a donation of N30 million from 60 support groups, backing the governor for the forthcoming November 8 governorship election in the state.

Following the delayed commencement of investigation on the petition, Okonkwo threatened to go to court if the commission fails to act within two weeks.

He issued the threat in a terse statement released by his media office on Thursday.

Okonkwo said since his petition was delivered to the commission two months ago, no action has been taken on it, suggesting that something is amiss.

He said: “I have fears that there is a plan by the CCB to cover up this petition. I am by this statement, giving the Chairman of CCB two weeks to act on my petition. Failure to do so, I will initiate court action against the commission.”

Recall that on April 5, 2025, the support groups under the aegis of All Soludo Support Groups (ASSG) presented a dummy payment bank cheque of N30 million to Soludo, during the “APGA for Governor Charles Soludo’s second tenure rally” at the International Conference Centre Awka.

The money was meant to cover the governorship nomination fee of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) for Governor Soludo’s re-election ticket.

According to the donors, comprising political office holders, senatorial aspirants, government officials and other key stakeholders, this gesture showcased their commitment solidarity and trust in his leadership.

But in his petition dated April 14, 2025, Okonkwo accused Soludo, the Commissioner for Finance, Anambra state, Mr. Izuchukwu Okafor, Special Adviser on Political Matters, Dr. Obi Obiogbolu and Chukwuemeka Julius, the governor’s nominee and team leader of Soludo Fans Club, of breaching the mandatory provisions of the Code of Conduct for public officers under the Fifth Schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended).

The petitioner also accused the aforementioned public officers of fraudulent misrepresentation, money laundering and abuse of public trust.

In addition, he alleged that the action of the Governor and his appointees, violated their oaths of office as public officers, not to allow their personal interest to influence their conduct or official decisions, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, and abide by the Code of Conduct for public officers, among other commitments.

He urged the bureau to urgently investigate the allegations against Governor Soludo and his appointees, to protect the integrity of governance in the country.

A copy of the petition, which was sighted by this reporter, read: “Complaint against Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo (Governor of Anambra State) (Public Officer) pursuant to paragraphs 1, 6 (1), 8, 9 & 13, Code of Conduct for Public Officers for committing:

“Acts prohibited by this Code by himself and through nominees, trustees or other agents in flagrant breach of the community reading of paragraphs 1, 6 (1), 8 and 9 “to wit:

“A public officer shall not put himself in a position where his personal interest conflicts with his duties and responsibilities.

“A public officer shall not ask for or accept property or benefits of any kind for himself or any other person, on account of anything done or omitted to be done by him in the discharge of his duties.

“No person shall offer a public officer any property, gift or benefit of any kind as an inducement or bribe for the granting of any favour or the discharge in his favour of the public officer’s duties.

“A public officer shall not do or direct to be done, in abuse of his office, any arbitrary act, prejudicial to the rights of any other person, knowing that knowing that such act is unlawful or contrary to any government policy.”

Governor of Imo State, His Excellency Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, has paid a deeply emotional and reflective birthday tribute to his wife, expressing profound gratitude, love, and appreciation for her unwavering companionship and strength throughout their shared journey in life.

In the message released to mark her birthday, the Governor described his wife as a steadfast partner whose presence has brought him joy, balance, and reassurance. He conveyed how privileged he feels to walk the path of life with her by his side, portraying her as dependable, faithful, and strong in moments of certainty and uncertainty alike.

Drawing from literary wisdom, Governor Uzodimma likened his wife to a guiding light in turbulent times, noting that her love has been a source of direction and comfort. He referenced the words of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe to illustrate a love that nurtures rather than controls, explaining that through their union, he has come to understand how genuine love cultivates patience, courage, and enduring hope.

The Governor further reflected on their shared accomplishments, emphasizing that their relationship has gone beyond planning and aspirations to the building of a purposeful and meaningful life together. He described each achievement as a joint success and every milestone as evidence of unity, shared resolve, and mutual commitment. In alignment with Aristotle’s philosophy of love as a single soul dwelling in two bodies, he affirmed that their past experiences and future aspirations remain inseparably connected, with greater accomplishments still ahead.

Offering prayers for his wife, Governor Uzodimma called on God to continually guide her steps, bless all her endeavors, and grant her long life, sound health, and abiding peace. He reassured her of the deep and enduring love she shares with him and their children, a bond he described as far beyond what words can fully capture.

The Governor concluded the tribute by warmly wishing his wife a joyful birthday, celebrating her not only as a life partner but as a pillar of strength, love, and inspiration within their family.
