Imo Lawmaker Escapes Mob Action by iykofias(m): 7:38am On Jun 29, 2013
OWERRI—The member representing Ohaji/Egbema local government area in Imo State House of Assembly, Chief Luke Chukwu, at a stakeholders’ meeting narrowly escaped mob attack from aggrieved youths of the area.

Vanguard gathered that participants had to scamper into safety as soon as they noticed that the anger of the youths was getting to a feverish pitch.

It was also gathered that the youths hinged their anger on the rumour making the rounds that Chief Chukwu was part of the state government’s plot to relocate “some vital departments” of Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo, to other parts of the state.

Armed with this belief, the angry youths stormed the venue of the meeting called by Chukwu and turned everywhere upside down.

The youths were irked that the assemblymen had reportedly perfected the legal framework for the relocation of the departments, as well as brandished a document to prove that the lawmakers had concluded discussion on the matter and moved it to the governor for assent.

One of the protesting youths, Mr. Toochukwu Stephen Amadi, explained that they were miffed that the lawmaker was not only an accessory to the plot but also failed to inform his constituents of the clandestine move.

“Chief Chukwu was privy to the action of the State House of Assembly to move some vital departments of Imo State Polytechnic to other areas. He betrayed us on this score,” Amadi fumed.

Although Vanguard could not reach Chief Chukwu for his comments on the matter before press time, the institution’s Rector, Rev. Fr. Wence Madu, had earlier denied that any such plot was in the works.

The rector said: “There is no iota of truth that government is planning to balkanize the institution. I have tried to explain this to all who cared to listen”.

Hon. Luke Chukwu, always fanning embers of disunity in Ohaji/Egbema. Fulani herdsmen have destroyed the only means of livelihood (farmland, with cassava, yam, maize crops, etc)There has been reported cases of rape, assault, killing and stealing perpetrated by the Fulani herdsmen. And this dude in the state house of assembly cannot use his good office to put an end to that. The Imo Rubber Plantation in Obitti is another investment gone awry. No attempt has been made to modernize its operations and expand its cope so as to create jobs for the teeming youths. Leadership is synonymous with resposniblity, not a means to acquire and flaunt ill-gotten wealth to the detriment of the people they seek to represent their interest.

I JUST DON'T LIKE THIS ISSUE OF GOVERNORS BALKANISING THE STATE OWNED UNIVERSITIES JUST BECAUSE OF SELFISH REASONS. Why not have just one solid structure instead??

Personal interest is killing both the lawmaker and the youths.

This is more like his political opponents just misinformed the youths. The issue now is will they ever trust him even if the school is not relocated? His opponents might as well claim that pressure caused change of plan.

Re: Imo Lawmaker Escapes Mob Action by TabletMan: 1:38pm On Jun 29, 2013
MEANWHILE........THE CBN GOVERNOR HAS FREEZE CHURCH ACCOUNTS**Churches require EFCC approval before withdrawing even a kobo from their accounts with banks.
**most churches have to cancel their crusades because the fund to organise it were trapped in banks.
**one is confused at how pastors, especially in the South East, South West and South South have become sponsors and financial backers of Boko Haram from Sanusi’s directives.

Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor has frozen the bank accounts of most churches in Nigeria under what his office claimed to be seeking for sponsors of Boko Haram. Many churches have been stranded since the past two weeks due to their inability to withdraw money from most commercial banks due to a CBN directive that they must provide their list of shareholders and directors before they could access their funds. Sanusi is much aware that churches and Mosques in Nigeria do not have shareholders or directors.



The churches in addition are required to fill forms which will be taken to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for endorsement before even a kobo will be withdrawn by them.

This stance of the CBN under Sanusi have crippled a lot of church activities within the past two weeks.

This Sanusi is very funny oooo, how can pastors be sponsoring Boko Haram that's killing christians?

In Enugu, a cleric who anchors Healing Has Begun crusade, Archbishop A.A Nwodika had course to cancel a crusade because the fund to prosecute it was trapped in banks. In the same note, the preparations for the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) biennial conference in Enugu State billed for next month is being hampered because PFN cannot access their account and their State chairman, Bishop Obi Onubogu whose attempt to access the funds was unsuccessful had called upon concerned members to assist them with aid so that the conference does not fail.

This stance of the CBN was principally given as caused by the determination of the Bank to fish out financial sponsors of terrorism including the routes through which they launder money. The Christian Association of Nigeria have threatened a showdown with CBN and whosoever is responsible for the order.

The CAN leadership under Oritsejafor had asked all the churches affected not to fill any form in any bank . They asked their members whose funds have been so seized to forward such evidences to their respective state secretariat for onward transmission to the National secretariat.

The legal adviser of CAN have threatened legal redress if Sanusi and his cohorts at CBN do not lift the order. CAN leadership gave the order at Umuahia last week when they converged to inaugurate the newly elected Abia State Chapter of the organization.

They argued that churches are registered under Act C which is for non governmental organization while the CBN demands is for Act F which obtains for business organizations.

What is surprising to many is that President Goodluck Jonathan had earlier said that Boko Haram sponsors are in his government. His special assistants on Media, Reuben Abati and Doyin Okupe had alluded to the fact that Boko Haram is sponsored by certain Northern Muslims. Therefore, one is confused at how pastors and gospel ministers, especially in the South East, South West and South South have suddenly become sponsors and financial backers of Boko Haram from Sanusi’s directives.

Those involved in money laundering are politicians and public servants and these people are accessing their funds freely while churches and pastors are being unnecessarily victimized and indirectly tagged sponsors of Boko Haram

Can‘t people close to that clown of a governor tell him to stop playing politics with education in Imo State? Whats with him and this unnecessary relocation of state tertiary institutions? First it was IMSU and now IPU, habaa dem born born relocation eh?
IPU is located on a wide expanse of land with plenty more land available for possible development, so he can‘t use lack of space as an excuse.
2ndly, the school is located in Orlu zone so he can‘t use his usual ‘all schools are concentrated in Owerri‘ as an excuse either. Thus instead of wasting scarce resources and time on relocation or balkanisation, he should rather do the needful, spend money of infrastructural development which is what all state schools are in dire need of.

Anyway I know his apostles will reply, am waiting.
