Anambra Guber: War In APC by Nobody: 11:10am On Aug 21, 2013 |
It had long been predicted that the two big shots in the APC, Senators Chris Ngige and his predecessor in the Senate, Senator Annie Okonkwo who are the driving forces in the new party would sooner than later clash over their individual governorship ambitions. Last week, the pair of Okonkwo and another governorship aspirant in the APC, Mr Goddy Ezemo had announced the appointment of the chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, ANPP in the state, Mr.Pat Orijiakor, as the interim chairman of the APC in the state. The appointment of Orijakor without Ngige’s endorsement was immediately rebuffed by the Ngige camp. The state publicity secretary of the defunct ACN in the state, Mr. Okelo Madukaife in a statement made available to Vanguard, yesterday, dismissed the announcement saying that the combined executive of the three legacy parties in the APC has been combined and is still co-chaired pending the state congress due on August 31. “The general public is hereby invited to ignore any other information purported to emanate from the APC to the effect that the party appointed one Mr. Pat Orjiakor as APC interim state chairman. By its constitution and through logic, party officials are not appointed by aspirants,” Mr. Madukaife said. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2013/08/anambra-guber-war-in-apc-as-ulasi-picks-ppa-ticket/ |

MEANWHILE the rest of the article "delibrately" cut out by the OP as he usually does is as follows Dr Chike Obidigbo who was disqualified from the APGA nomination process by the party’s screening panel has urged supporters to keep calm pending what he claimed as ongoing consultations with strategic stakeholders. Soludo, Ogene, Odenigbo, Uzoh, Mrs. Ekwunife , Okonkwo, Ndubuisi and Ifeanyi Uba The decision of the screening panel was also upheld by the appeal panel. While addressing supporters in Awka, Ogidigbo said he made wide and extensive consultations before declaring his intention to seek the mandate of the people for the governorship and that he was still sure of the support he got to enter the contest. He said that it would be too early to announce his decision on the contest following the disqualification by APGA as he said that would still consult with all relevant stakeholders, who gave him their strategic endorsement before announcing his next move. The gubernatorial aspirant restated that his desire to seek election into the office of governor of Anambra state was borne out of the fact that he possesses the needed capacity to fast track the economic development of the State. “As a renowned industrialist, administrator, academic and philanthropist, my life and pursuits have always revolved around uplifting people.” Several PDP aspirants who relocated to Abuja after the annulled ward congress penultimate Monday were yesterday spread across the state monitoring the rescheduled congresses ordered by the party. APGA screening panel member wants Soludo, others to support party Chief Onwuka Ukwa, a member of the party’s Governorship Screening Committee, which disqualified Professor Charles Soludo and five others from the contest, has urged all those his committee ruled out to support the nominee of the party. While affirming that the committee was not programmed to disqualify any of the aspirants, he said the same parameters were used in screening all the aspirants. His claim follows insinuations that the APGA hierarchy was coerced by forces in the presidency to screen out Soludo from the contest on the assumption that Soludo could be antagonistic to the PDP’s presidential candidate in 2015. Governor Peter Obi had earlier washed himself from culpability in the conspiracy theory. Explaining that APGA was adopting a new attitude to politics, he advised the disqualified aspirants to accept the result, remain focused and support the party. “It’s not the end of the world; it’s not a do-or- die affair,” Ukwa said as he reminded them of their vow to support whoever emerged the candidate of the party. Chief Ukwa emphasized that the committee conducted the screening based on the party’s guidelines and constitution. “The intention is to make sure that those going into politics are doing so strictly for service. When some of us go to America, France and Britain, we see that the important thing there is service; the motivating factor is rendering service to the nation and the people. But when some of us come back to Nigeria, we begin to do things in the wrong way,” he said. He was also quick to distance the party’s National Chairman, Chief Victor Umeh from the fate of the six disqualified aspirants. PDP ‘ll be unstoppable — Anosike ONE of the governorship aspirants on the cards of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Emma Anosike, has said that the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) could not stop PDP at the polls in spite of the performance of Governor Peter Obi. Noting that party indiscipline cost PDP the seat in 2010, he said the party would get it right this time around. He also made a case for Anambra North producing the next governor. However, he said the zone should produce a sellable candidate. “I am a good candidate and I can go for the battle and win the battle. Also, everything work to my advantage because the governorship position has been zoned to Anambra North where I hail from, both the current Governor and the masses in the state have been clamouring that it is the turn of Anambra North. “PDP which is my party was formed on the platform of equity and justice, even, it is enshrined in the Constitution that equity is the key to what we are doing. Therefore, I come from Anambra North, I am a good candidate and I have been to the House of Representatives, I am a Senator and I have contested governorship before and I was a running mate to Charles Soludo and I have all it takes to govern Anambra State On the chances of PDP at the upcoming elections, he said: “What happened in 2010 was crazy because it has to do with party discipline. ” Ulasi picks PPA ticket MRS. Blessing Ulasi, the Nnewi-born lawyer, who had until recently been based in the United Kingdom is giving fresh life to the Progressive Peoples Alliance, PPA, the party founded by former governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu. It will be recalled that briefly before the 2010 gubernatorial election that the party made some sparkles when it presented Mrs. Uche Ekwunife as its candidate in that election. But following that election, Mrs. Ekwunife decamped to APGA, the platform on which she is now presently seeking another quest to occupy the Government House. Since her exit, the party had laid practically comatose. Mrs. Ulasi who recently returned to Nigeria has now revived the party and is presently only aspirant on the platform of the party and the PPA’s presumptive nominee. Speaking to party members at an outing yesterday, the returnee lawyer said she is determined to wrest control of government from APGA at the November election. She told members of the party: “PPA may not be making noise like other political parties, but we know what we are doing, Governorship election is not a matter of making so much noise but planning properly for the race. “My assurance is that we will enter the Government House in March next year and I want to urge our members to be patient because so much ground work is currently going on about the November 16 election.” State chairman of PPA, Mr. Matthias Ameke said the party has solid structure in all the 326 political wards of the state, adding that all the ward officials are prepared to move the party forward. He explained that the problem they had in the past was that the candidates of the party came through the back door which discouraged most members from working for PPA during the last election. |

chukwudi44: The problem with all of you is that you've refused to see the broader picture. I won't be surprised if what happened in Abia State in 2011 will happen in Anambra. Few months ago, we all unanimously admitted that Ngige and Soludo were best suited for the job while Soludo has an edge because of his vast knowledge of economics. Today the evil politicians in our mist have pushed Soludo out and Ngige is also about being pushed out. |

Re: Anambra Guber: War In APC by jpphilips(m): 3:38pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
Anambra state has been a battle ground for political mischief over the years. Another election is around the corner and the power brokers are at it again, needless to mention the need for the actors and spectators to harmonize political interest. i may not have room to delve into the Man called Ngige as a medical director because we have more than enough facts on the ground to unravel the enigma behind this huge political masquerade of our time. At a time when the govt of Dr chinweoke mbadinuju (odera) like he calls himself have left Anambra state in ruins of sour tales of poverty, underdevelopment, comatose education system and poor Governance.Dr chris ngige with the unrelenting effort of his political God father chris Uba has truncated the franchise of Anambrarians through an election fraud, the first of its kind to be witnessed in any democracy in Africa. In a region where the late Odumegwu ojukwu was honored, respected or even close to being worshiped to say the least. the machinations of Ngige and chris Uba made Ojukwu look like a "political house boy" when the election results were released, no doubt Ojukwu stood firm behind his political son who brandished posters of economic salvation, with logical slogan of "are we cursed or are we the cause?", also sitting at the board of Eleven companies registered in Nigeria, Ojukwu had no doubt that the son in whom he was well pleased has just arrived. That was the first time Dr chris Ngige forcefully took that which belonged to Anambrarians, as law Abiding citizens, Anambrarians went to court. Within the period Ngige was at the helm of affairs in Anambra state, the crook in him manifested once again when he opted to bite the finger that shot him to political limelight, that error in judgement left him in bruises and political epilepsy, Ngige was helpless and being the smart crook he was, he turned to the Masses for his salvation. Not letting chris Uba's carnage to distract him, he took his political trumpet to the rural areas, he mobilized market women en masse and made sure that all the youth groups and associations were not left out in the largesse. Ngige did not stop there, he started massive road constructions in rural areas, he revisited the state General hospitals providing them with ambulance services, he vigorously attended to the backlog of salaries and arrears owed by his predecessor, like a charm in the wind, Ngige became "the Man of the people" and once again wore his crown as "Onwa" like he was fondly called. permit me to state at this juncture that Ngige's road projects were concentrated in his senatorial district and there is a perceived neglect of some core areas of economic interest in Anambra state. Major roads in Onitsha and Nnewi received little or no attention, at a time Ngige was giving Nanka to ekwulobia road a face lift. Anambrarians have tried to Understand the adumberations behind this marginalization of economic interest to no avail, arguments in the political quarters had it that Ngige as an Administrator knows next to nothing where the core interest of the people lies, or he was playing the card of the drowning man who must buy the goodwill of his people under duress, Ngige will later Manifest more of this obnoxious propensity. The Judgement of the court of Appeal who sat in Enugu on the 19th of April 2003 dishonorably deposed him of the executive seat of Anambra state and enthroned the rightful winner, Peter obi. Amidst the unceremonious depose of Ngige, his subterfuge on Anambrarians remained potent, an idiosyncrasy that later crowned him a senator of the federal republic. I choose at this verge to call to memory with revered nostalgia a senator who once represented cross river south constituency, Senator Ita Giwa. It is on record that at a time when the obasanjo administration was dragging its feet over the bakassi peninsular issue, sen. Ita giwa was the first to speak out in condemnation on the quality of attorneys employed to represent the federal Govt. other efforts attributed to her name was the call on the floor of the senate for the federal govt to protect the bakassi citizens who were being victimized in the furore that led to their being Alienated in their own country. this morally bankrupt senator by bigotry standards, threw away what religion defined as morality but took a noble step in the supervision of relief materials and shelter provided for the bakassi people. History holds senator Ita giwa to a high esteem on the succor she brought to the bakassi people. Anambrarians made no mistakes in legitimately catapulting their political masquerade Ngige to the exalted senate chambers where the likes of senator Mike Ajegbo and Florence Ita giwa has made a name for themselves, at the expense of Dora Akunyili. Dora Akunyili like we knew from pedigree brought a comatose Agency to life, Dora put her life on the line to arrest drug counterfeiting in Nigeria. Dora's campaign in NAFDAC till date is still sending reverberating awe to drug counterfeiters who before now ply their trade with impunity. History will be fair to Dora as the only member of the FEC who passed a vote of no confidence on the Yaradua's handlers, at a time when Nigerians were clamoring for the right thing to be done. Amidst these pedigree of victories and a penchant for carrying the interest of the Masses at heart,Anambrarians handed Anambra east to their political Masquerade chris Ngige. By now, i have no doubt in my mind that Sane Anambrarians will be regretting that error in judgement, like some of us who voted "fresh air" but were met with "Patience air", in the end. Within the period Ngige sat firmly in the Senate, deceiving his political houseboys, over 70 bodies were discovered in the Ezu river, there was neither a condemnation nor a strong message to the IGP from the quarters of the self acclaimed "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" even when the whole nation was thrown into pandemonium, the only time he visited was when he heard that the police has hurriedly buried the corpses, till date, there is no extra pressure from the office of the "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" to ensure that the IGP, investigates and bring the culprits to book, i was forced to ask, Does Ngige really know where the interest of his people lie? still pondering over that issue, within his two years in the senate, Anambra nearly lost a vital economic fulcrum to kogi state by the carnage that erupted from the oil prospecting endeavor of orient refinery. perhaps Ngige did not understand the Economic benefits of Anambra being listed as an oil producing state or perhaps the crook in him bifurcated the scenario and aligned with the part that Orient was not in his senatorial district therefore, may not be of any interest to him. Till date, Ngige is yet to make public his statements and also form a committee that will bring the warring parties together in other to hoist the Anambra interest beyond umbrage. I ask again; is Ngige's recumbency a curse or are Anambrarians the cause? Just recently, we saw in the dailies that for two years, the "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" is yet to sponsor a bill in the National assembly amidst huge emoluments and allowances, at a time when sectarian violence is at its unimaginable peak in the north. last year, the sons and daughters of Adazi humbly resigned to fate and committed to mother earth the repose of their brothers who were attacked in the North during a town meeting, do not misconstrue my intentions here, i do not expect Ngige to do the duty of the commander in chief of the Armed forces, no, but i expected the "MAN OF THE PEOPLE" to write a letter of condolence to the affected families, it will not bring back their dead, but it will boost their sense of belonging that the man who got their mandate remembered them in a devastating time like this, I expected Ngige to write to the JTF commander expressing his disgust on the security lapse that led to the untimely death of his kinsmen and also send a strong message on the need for the JTF to intensify their effort in bringing the culprits to book. Has Ngige not failed Anambrarians enough? The climax of this failure was when he put Party interest ahead of the interest of the people who gave him the mandate of representation in the senate, when he rose to the unalloyed defense of his political benefactors to absolve the Governor of Lagos state of any malfeasance in his deportation agenda. Hitherto, i never knew Ngige had the apparatchik and records for press release all these while he was snoring away in the senate, save for the wrong reasons. Ngige saw no evil in dumping 72 anambrarians at the bridge head in the Middle of the night, Destitute at that, people by virtue of circumstances of birth has become vulnerable to all manner of social abuse and threats that comes with night fall, Ngige and his cohorts showed no mercy. Is it wrong for Ngige to use his influence to sway Gov. fashola to ensure that these people were delivered safely to either the Governors Lodge Amawbia or the Govt house in Awka where i believe they can pass the night in the banquet hall or conference room, of course, those were no viable options for Ngige and his cohorts,Just behind the Govt house in Awka is sitting a 90 rooms hotel owned by Ngige himself whose infinite wisdom dictated that these people should be better off in the cold. Today, this Anomie of a senator is coming back home to play on the sensibilities of his political hallelujah supporters, people who have failed to reason that in the deep sense of what a leader should represent, Ngige remained as Unclad as a coconut without it's shell, his little lopsided achievements under duress can now be clearly juxtaposed with the real Ngige who has a hatred for his people but becomes their messiah during elections, are Anmbrarians not tired of this political chess game? where the people remain perpetually enslaved in the hands of the kings and queens while they gasp for breath as mere pawns. All the cries of Anambrarians in lagos state this last six months were mere mosquito hums in Ngige's ears, who have avowed to snore himself to the deepest end of slumber. God help Anambrarians if Prof chukwuma soludo scales through the APGA petty screening, Anambrarians will have a choice to correct the error of choosing Ngige over Dora Akunyili, No doubt, that Ngige's Administrative capacity reeks of betrayal, incompetence and performance under duress, Same cannot be said for the Amiable prof Chukwuma Soludo, whose tenure as the Governor of CBN, brought a new Economic focus for Nigeria and Nigerians as a whole. A Man who proved that with a stroke of policy,that he can create more jobs in the private sector than the federal Ministry of labor and productivity, a man who has proved that his economic permutations are legendary and has shown from his manifesto that Anambrarians have a choice to either fumigate their political mosquitoes or leave their fate in the palms of economic Malaria. |

With election machinery/plans I heard has been set up by Ngige camp and APC. This election looks like its APCs to loose. It seems Anambra must be very critical to APC's plans. The amount of money I heard secretly earmarked by APC Governors for next election is frightening. This one will be impossible for anyone else. Even if they spring a surprise, the plan hands Ngige a huge advantage in the election tribunal. All these clowns here are so Ignorant. Obi Disqualified Soludo so that he could present an Anambra North candidate. Because presently based on what all those political unions have been saying, Anambra North is for Ngige. Anambra Central is history while The rest including Andy and Chris Uba can slug it out in the South. |
