‎The All Progressives Congress (APC) gubernatorial candidate for Anambra State’s 2025 election, Nicolas Ukachukwu, has questioned the electoral viability of Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate Paul Chukwuma who recently left the APC after the primaries, citing his previous poor performance at the polls.
‎
‎In an AIT interview, Ukachukwu highlighted Chukwuma’s track record, stating,

“Let me talk about this candidate, Paul Chukwuma. He was the coordinator of the presidential election in Anambra State election. Paul Chukwuma got only one vote in his polling unit; that means even his wife did not vote. He was director-general of the campaign organization for Andy Uba in the last governorship election in Anambra State; he did not win his polling unit.”
‎
‎Dismissing Chukwuma’s ability to attract political support following his departure from APC after losing the primaries, Ukachukwu declared, “Who can join him? Go and sink with him. Nobody in Anambra State today can join him

State House of Assembly suspends LG chairman

The Nasarawa State House of Assembly has suspended the Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Mohammad Haliru Arabo, for three months over his role in the unlawful removal of the council’s Speaker.

The decision was taken during plenary in Lafia after a motion was raised by Musa Ibrahim Abubakar, who leads the House Committee on Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs.

Lawmakers agreed that the action was needed to allow a fair investigation and calm the tension that followed the leadership dispute in the council.

The Speaker of the House, Danladi Jatau, said the suspension will stand until the committee completes its findings.

He said that the current structure of the Lafia Legislative Arm will remain unchanged throughout the investigation.

During this period, the Deputy Chairman of Lafia Local Government, Uba Arikiya, has been directed to take charge of the council.

The Speaker explained that the House acted within the powers given to it by the constitution and questioned why the Chairman ventured into matters that belong to the legislature.

The Clerk of the House has been asked to notify Governor Abdullahi Sule of the resolution.

Lawmakers such as Hajarat Danyaro Ibrahim, Mohammed Garba Isimbabi, Suleiman Yakubu Azara, and Larry Ven-Bawa backed the move, saying that the suspension would help prevent a wider crisis in the council and send a clear message to other local governments in the state.
