REJOINDER TO STEVE OSUJI’S BILE-FILLED RANT: AN EMBITTERED HACK STRUGGLING TO STAY RELEVANT

By Ambrose Nwaogwugwu, April 17, 2025.

There comes a time when bile masquerading as intellect must be peeled apart, line by line, to reveal the sheer hypocrisy and venom of a jaded penman whose only relevance now resides in throwing tantrums from the gallery of expired influence.

Steve Osuji, yes—you. The same Osuji who served as media aide to the illegally declared governor of Imo State, Emeka Ihedioha, who spent his unconstitutional seven months in office not digging a single shovel of sand anywhere in Imo State, but rather focused on expanding his real estate empire. From Owerri to Mbutu Mbaise, his palatial mansions sprang up like mushrooms after rainfall, while governance was put on hold and the people’s trust squandered. That’s the man you call your political idol. That’s the failure you defended with your mighty pen.

So before you climb your rickety pulpit of sanctimony to preach about infrastructure and governance, cleanse yourself of the stench of complicity in one of the most shameful interruptions of progress in Imo’s history. You, Mr. Osuji, were part and parcel of a media team that elevated propaganda and mediocrity to statecraft. You dined and wined in the belly of that failed “Rebuild Imo” structure called the Ihedioha administration, which left Imo worse than he met it, and only rebuilt his palatial mansions.

Let’s now deal with the folly of your so-called “EXPRESSO Umbrage.”

You claim to be “traumatized” because Governor Hope Uzodinma received the Vanguard Infrastructure Governor of the Year 2024 Award? Good. Stay traumatized. Because what you see today in Imo State is a reflection of true infrastructural rebirth—not the illusion of development your type tried to sell to us with flowery grammar and empty press releases during Ihedioha’s fraudulent reign.

Unlike your master who couldn’t complete a single kilometer of road, Governor Uzodinma has delivered landmark projects across the three zones of the state. These are not federal gimmicks, but tangible state-driven legacies: Owerri-Orlu dual carriageway, Owerri-Okigwe express, Balloon technology drainage systems, Nekede – Ihiagwa road, Chukwuma Nwoha Road, MCC-Toronto Road, Lake Nwaebere project, just to name a few. These are roads your master only “flagged off” on social media before rushing back to Mbutu to continue building mansions.

You question Vanguard’s credibility in awarding Uzodinma? Where was your righteous indignation when Vanguard named your genocidal hero, Nasir el-Rufai, Governor of the Year—not once, but twice? Oh, you praised it then. But today, because your political god is no longer in office, and you can no longer feed fat on government crumbs, Vanguard has suddenly become an unholy altar? Spare us the selective outrage.

And you dare cry about the ruination of Imo State? This same Imo where pensioners now receive their entitlements? Where civil servants enjoy promotions, digitized payroll, and salaries paid promptly? Where tertiary institutions like IMSU and Imo Poly are undergoing reform and expansion? Where the Imo State Teaching Hospital now functions with a renewed focus?

The same Imo where opposition voices exist freely despite your claims of “one-party state”? When your camp was in power, dissent was met with arrests and media clampdowns, but today you scream from your laptop in full freedom—proof of the democracy you claim is dead.

Your tears over Willy Amadi are laughable. A man who has realized the path of development and chosen to be part of progress rather than sulk like you in bitterness is not to be pitied but celebrated. It’s your kind—unrepentant political vampires—who continue to bleed from the loss of political access.

In conclusion, this rejoinder is not for you, Steve Osuji, alone. It’s for all relics of the old order still bitter that a government of substance now occupies Douglas House. Keep crying. Vanguard has spoken. The people of Imo are seeing and testifying. And history will record your tantrums for what they are: the wailings of a disgraced former aide trying desperately to reclaim a relevance long lost.

Steve, Stay traumatized.

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has pledged sweeping reforms if elected Nigeria’s president in 2027, including changing the constitution and eradicating corruption within his first month in office or resigning.

Speaking on Friday during an X Space session titled Weekend Politics, the former Rivers State governor said he would replace the current indigeneship system with citizenship rights.

“If I do not end corruption in Nigeria within one month, I will tender my resignation,” Amaechi declared, challenging current FCT Minister Nyesom Wike to walk through the streets of Port Harcourt to prove who is healthier and more beloved by the people.

Amaechi accused some powerful figures of frequently visiting the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to steal public funds, lamenting that such resources, if properly utilised, could solve the country’s security and economic crises. He also described INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu as the “w%rst” in Nigeria’s history.

On fuel subsidy, Amaechi vowed not to reverse its removal if elected, but promised to channel the savings directly to ordinary Nigerians rather than the elite.

Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has disclosed that he and ex-Governor of Ekiti State, Kayode Fayemi, started the opposition coalition.

Amaechi said he and Fayemi decided to expand the opposition coalition to accommodate more people.

The former governor of Rivers State made this public during a chat on an X space titled: “Weekend Politics” on Friday.

The coalition currently has eminent Nigerians like former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Kaduna State governor, Nasir El-Rufai; former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir Lawal.

Others include Boss Mustapha, former Senate President, David Mark, former Interior Minister, Rauf Aregbesola, former Sports Minister, Bolaji Abdullahi, among others.

The coalition recently adopted the African Democratic Congress, ADC, in its move to unseat President Bola Tinubu.

However, Amaechi said: “Fayemi and I began the coalition discussion, and we subsequently agreed to broaden it so that it would involve more than just the two of us talking about starting a new party.

“We must create a middle class, and put money in the pockets of Nigerians; insecurity will reduce.”

He also disclosed that he became the Speaker of Rivers State at the age of 32 years.

According to Amaechi, he served in that capacity for eight years without being impeached.

“I was the first Speaker at the age of 32 years and led the Rivers State Assembly for 8 years without being impeached,” he added.

ADC: Why INEC has not recognised David Mark, others

THE reason has emerged why the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is yet to accord recognition to the interim National Working Committee of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) led by former Senate President, Senator David Mark.

Investigations revealed that the erstwhile National Chairman of the party, Ralph Nwosu, in a letter dated July 29, 2025, and addressed to INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, informed him of resolutions of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the ADC held on the same date, “which empowers NEC to exercise the powers and perform all the functions of the National Convention pending the next National Convention.”

The NEC at that meeting effected changes in its leadership and informed the INEC so.

The letter to INEC, it was learnt, listed the names of 44 new national officers of the party. Listed among them by Ralph Nwosu were Senator David Mark, Rauf Aregbesola, and Dr Mani Ibrahim, as National Chairman, National Secretary and National Treasurer, respectively.

Checks by Saturday Ekwutos on the INEC website, however, revealed that the commission still lists Ralph Nwosu, Alhaji Sai’d Baba Abdullahi and Mr Cavin Alagoa as National Chairman, National Secretary, and National Treasurer of the ADC, respectively. The website also lists Mrs Ifeyinwa Ntima as National Financial Secretary.

A source within INEC who spoke with Saturday Tribune in confidence explained why the electoral umpire was yet to accord official recognition to the David Mark-led interim leadership despite the formal notification by the party.

The source, who acknowledged receipt of the letter written by Ralph Okey Nwosu and Alhaji Sai’d Baba Abdullahi,  the immediate past National Chairman and National Secretary, respectively, noted that the commission was yet to recognise Senator Mark and Aregbesola as the new National Chairman and Secretary because the letter dated July 29, 2025, was not properly written.

The source said: “The letter only listed 44 names of new national officers without their signatures. It is proper that we have in our custody specimens of their signatures. That’s when we would act on their letter.”

Asked if the commission was reluctant to accept the new leadership due to the ongoing tussle within the party, the INEC source dismissed the insinuation.

“No, we have nothing against the process. In fact, we were present and monitored the process where those resolutions were taken,” the source added.
