The senator representing Anambra South senatorial zone, Ifeanyi Ubah, has reacted to the suspension of the traditional ruler of Neni, a community in Anaocha Local Government Area.

A suspension letter by Anambra State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Tony Collins Nwabunwanne, accused HRM Igwe Damian Ezeani of not seeking clearance from the state government before bestowing titles on people, including ‘persons with questionable character.’

The monarch had, during the Yuletide, conferred on Senator Ubah the title of Odenjinji of Neni, which is similar to the title Soludo also holds in his Isuofia community.

The senator representing Anambra South senatorial zone, Ifeanyi Ubah, has reacted to the suspension of the traditional ruler of Neni, a community in Anaocha Local Government Area.

A suspension letter by Anambra State Commissioner for Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Tony Collins Nwabunwanne, accused HRM Igwe Damian Ezeani of not seeking clearance from the state government before bestowing titles on people, including ‘persons with questionable character.’

The monarch had, during the Yuletide, conferred on Senator Ubah the title of Odenjinji of Neni, which is similar to the title Soludo also holds in his Isuofia community.

In his reaction, Ubah, who spoke with our Reporter in a phone interview, said: “The entire game is all about politics. Soludo is frustrated by my rising popularity. I’m not the only person to receive a chieftaincy title. Former Chief of Army Staff Buratai was honoured within the same period; Vice President Kashim Shettima was also honoured; Mr President was honoured in absentia. Why is my own different?”

Uba added: “The governor is frustrated by my acceptance and popularity; he is jittery about the next governorship election, but I leave him to his conscience.”

Ubah, in October 2023, defected from the Young Progressives Party, YPP, to the All Progressives Congress, APC. He was later received into the party in December, alongside another popular grassroots politician, Senator Uche Ekwunife. This action set off an alarm about a possible alliance between the two to unseat Soludo in the 2025 governorship election.

This may have sparked some emotions among members of the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, and the state government.

Anambra is one of the states that holds off-season elections. Its governorship election would be due in 2025.

Senator Ifeanyi Ubah should shut up. Governor Chukwuma Soludo is right to label him a man of questionable character. This is a man whom billionaire Cosmas Maduka of Coscharis Group publicly accused of duping him and Ubah had no defence to clear himself. It is no secret that he also doesn't see eye to eye with Innoson whom he beefs probably because Innoson is a much better business man than he is. He is virtually at war with his Nnewi brethren who are disgusted by his shady character. If a character like Ubah is allowed to come close to the seat of power in Agu Awka, Anambra is gone because he will use the state as collateral to collect loans to revive his comatose tank farms in Lagos. A chronic debtor and crook will not be allowed near Anambra state treasury.

Armaggedon:
This one is feeling funky. You want to be governor with neco certificate. Move to Aso rock, that's where your like currently stays.

You are trying in philanthropy but it doesn't work that way with governance.

BadMaster:


Those two bitter souls up👆 there are angry because Ubah defected to APC.

crossfm:
Hehehe.

It's easy to speak grammar,but do the talk na problem.
I remember Soludo saying that southeast politicians should stop doing Nzogbu Nzogbu politics. Am shocked he is into the same brand of politics.

He is on a sacking spree now in Anambra. He is even after market leaders,Igwes are not left out .

tallfish145:
Mechiegi onu there. Why is it that any politician that decamps to APC automatically becomes an enemy of indigbo like Okorocha and his successor?

onumadu:
This is starting to look like Soludo's new pattern for ensuring his second term.
I bought land somewhere in Awka North, and wanted to pay the community development fee.
They told me I couldn't because the governor was yet to "give certificate of return" to the newly elected community PG (president general of the community). I became baffled.
Since when did Anambra state governors start to issue certificate of returns to newly elected community presidents general
Nna, ife nke a dikwa egwu o.
