The national publicity secretary for APGA, who is also a Senior Special Assistant to Governor Soludo on New Media has stated that APGA will not trivialize the attacks of Opposition candidate for the Anambra gubernatorial election on November 8.

According to his post, APGA is ready for any stunt any opposition wants to pull especially the candidate who is from Osumenyi, Nnewi South Local Government Area in Anambra state, who he also referred to as a “content creator”. He stated that the battle will be;

“Talk for Talk, Court order for Court order, Police for Police ,INEC for INEC ,Substance for Substance”

“I would have said “Agbero for Agbero”, but Soludo don pursue ndi agbero from Anambra”

Osun State has dragged the Federal Government and the Attorney General of the Federation to the Supreme Court for allegedly withholding local government allocations for February, March, and April 2025.

The state is demanding:

A declaration that the FG has no right to withhold funds meant for democratically elected LGs.

An injunction to stop future withholdings.

Osun claims the withheld funds are crippling essential services like education, healthcare, and local development.

Meanwhile, there’s a brewing political storm: the APC is questioning the legitimacy of the February LG elections, while the PDP insists the councils are validly elected.

The Supreme Court is now set to decide a major case on local government autonomy and constitutional rights.

What’s your take? Is this about law, politics, or power?

Mr. Valentine Obienyem, Media Adviser to Mr. Peter Obi, has acknowledged Governor Charles Soludo’s recent efforts to address the inflated ₦137 million monthly cleaning bill in Anambra State.

He described the move as a welcome initiative in the ongoing effort to promote better management of public resources.

Obienyem noted that the step taken by Governor Soludo reflects the principles Mr. Obi upheld during his tenure from 2006 to 2014, particularly his focus on reducing the cost of governance and prioritising service delivery over government comfort.

He pointed out that Mr. Obi consistently applied modesty and accountability in the management of public funds.

He explained that under Mr. Obi, the cleaning and gardening of the Government House were mostly handled by government-employed staff.

In rare cases where extra hands were needed, the expenses were minimal and never approached the levels recently reported.
