News about town:

There is really no new s about town. Enugu is just so quiet. Only at the beer parlours do you see joyous drinkers gisting away on the happenstuff in Enugu politics. Gov. Chime has provided entertainment to ndi Enugu who now have what to gist about. All about Enugu, the gist is everywhere, of different colours and shades, with spices and garnishing. Chime has become a laughing stock really.

Meanwhile, the strong woman of Enugu politics, the one and only ever, the Chief of the world, Ifeoma Nwobodo clearly doesn't know how to manoeuvre the political maze that Enugu politics has become. She's completely out of her depths and her usually very noisy in-your-face- campaign train has become so quiet, not going East nor West of Nkanu land. Completely a wreck of a political voyage. Quite sad indeed. But miracle still fit happen

Actually, gist as monitored has it that she spends more time following Chime around and hanging around him to his chagrin b'cos she's really not needed in the meetings, but of course, nothing else to do.

In the last meeting at the Villa where Chime was instructed to go home and ensure Enugu is peaceful, she was spotted hanging around Trascorp with no definite plan. Just busy shaking hands with Chime's security details, her former underlings because they have been briefed to distance her from Onyeishi. Love can suffocate, you know.

But we have to leave that gist and focus on Enugu politics where just 2 days to go to ENHA primary, nobody knows which way to go. Absolutely nothing mege. The bull and matador, both staring at each other

http://247ureports.com/enugu-pdp-crisis-the-peoples-advice-to-gov-chime-by-ejenogwu-igwebike/

"
From an elaborate street joint at Ogui New Layout comes one of the interesting suggestions to quell the political impasse.  The young man claimed to be a political operative way back to the Ebeano time.  His suggestion is that Gov. Chime should quit elective contest and return to his seat as the leader of Enugu State PDP. 

 

Cruising down to Otigba junction provides another strange advice to both Gov. Chime and DSP Ekweremadu.  This young man was very passionate as he spoke about the two PDP leaders of Enugu State.  He laid the blame of the problems of people surrounding the two leaders.  He said that there were no issues between the two that it was the people around the peddling gossip that got them into this political mess."

Governor Chime’s Political Fortune In Final Days

Posted by Admin in POLITICS on November 13, 2014


 0  0 Google +0

From the report getting to us there was another twist to the crisis rocking the enugu State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Thursday when an enugu High Court restrained the party from using or acting on the list or names purporting to be the list of delegates elected during the recent ward and local government congresses, pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit on the matter.

The enugu High Court order is coming barely two weeks after an earlier order by the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja that restrained the national leadership of the party from tampering with the result of the November 1, 2014 ward congresses conducted by the Elder David Aja-led State Executive Committee of the party in enugu State. The order is yet to be vacated.

Ruling on a suit filed by one Charles Okafor challenging the validity of the alleged congress, the enugu High Court presided over by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Innocent Umezuluike, also ordered an accelerated hearing of the substantive suit, citing the urgency of the matter.

It further granted the plaintiff seven days within which to file his statement of claim and serve same on the defendant (PDP) and granted the defendant fourteen days to file its statement of defence and serve same on the plaintiff. The matter was adjourned to 8th December, 2014 for definite hearing.

It would be recalled that the Acting State Chairman of the party, Edler David Aja had said that the ward congress was conducted “peacefully” in enugu State and proceeded to publish the names of the three-m an delegates elected during the congresses held in 260 wards in the state.

But the Chairman of Governor Sullivan Chime faction, Chief Ikeje Asogwa had countered the Acting Chairman’s claim, saying that the congress never held in enugu due to the non-arrival of members of the electoral panel and materials from Abuja on the scheduled date.

The two conflicting orders of the Abuja and enugu courts, which are said to have equal jurisdiction, has created further confusion in the party and the national leadership is expected to decide on the way forward.

But the development has confirmed the collapse of the truce brokered by President Goodluck Jonathan between the warring parties.

It has further confirmed the speculation that Governor Chime and his men may move to another party to conduct the 2015 elections since the order may have been intended to prevent the PDP from fielding any candidate in enugu State.

But some Party stalwarts who reacted to the fresh court order said that the intention of the plaintiff might not be realized as the interim injunction would not last beyond 14 days

We look forward to see what happens next.

Chime Mops Up Vanguard in Enugu
27 November 2014 , Source: Vanguard

ENUGU--Vanguard newspaper was missing from the newsstands in Enugu yesterday following the blanket purchase of yesterday's edition of the newspaper meant for circulation in the Coal City State.

The entire stock of the newspaper meant for circulation in the city were bought allegedly by alleged agents of the state government.

The action of the authorities in the state was apparently linked to a news feature published yesterday entitled, Enugu 2015: The debacle of parallel leadership.

The story was a focus on the recent travails of the faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, led by Governor Sullivan Chime arising from that faction's failure to participate in the November 1, 2014 ward congresses of the party organised by the Elder David Aja-led leadership of the party.

The development in the party, according to the feature piece has led to doubts on the prospects of 2015 election aspirants affiliated to the governor. The seemingly provocative article which was a review of the developments in the state was, however, stopped from mass circulation with the forced purchase of the edition from the newspaper distributors.

Besides yesterday, the newspaper was also forced from the newsstands last Friday, November 21, 2014 which reported stories on Enugu and had a feature, Governors also cry.

The practice of buying up copies of Vanguard with reports perceived not to be favourable to the authorities in the state has been a recurring practise which has brought agony to many newspaper readers in the state.

Yesterday, some readers who brought the newspaper from outside the state were able to make Xeroxed copies of the feature story which sold for as much as N300 in some places in the state capital.

A copy of the newspaper where it was seen sold in some cases for as much as N1,000.00.

These are the people that created the duo monster of Chime and Ifeoma Nwobodo. Wonders shall never end. If Ifeoma could go seeking refuge in Ekweremmadu camp, kneeling and begging to be allowed to go to senate. Who told her Ekweremmadu gives senate, bikonu

News well received. So it is possible that Clara that was declared mad by emperor sullivan chime could smell the hallowed chambers of the national assembly and "sane" will only dream about. Nemesis in action. Chime cannot be a happy man right now. And with Mama Patience on the saddle, can you see the handwriting on the wall? All she needs say to Orji is -just give her ticket.

Madam Chief of staff nko? If she doesn't make it, it will really be a disaster.

I am happy for the only first lady we know in Enugu. Coast on, dear Clara. I doff my cap and also bow in prayers for her.

Update on the latest truce between the two BIG men.

At the last meeting at the Villa, Sullivan was told to go back and make Enugu peaceful. He is to take over the Party structure after allowing the Senator in contention to retain his seat.

So, under the euphoria that the Party structure is now under him, Chime has started to anoint candidates for the State House of Assembly. For instance in Enugu South Local Government, an erstwhile Party loyalist and former council boss, Sam Ngene alias anointed David, who enjoys enormous followership in the LGA, has been told to shelve his ambition to go to the State's Assembly. In his place is a Lagos based lawyer, Barr Okenwa son of another former council boss, Hon Emma Okenwa.

Anointed David feels betrayed and in tears swore to contest on another platform. Hon Theresa Egbo who currently occupies the seat was pointedly told by Chime to go home and look after her household.

More crazy anointing on the way. I will be updating you as it happens.

But the question is, will Chime's wishes come true? Especially in the light of the fact that the entire delegate list is still not under his control?

Time shall tell; in just a matter of 48hrs we shall see.

Enugu PDP Crisis: Court Decisions Favour Chime, Say Lawyers


A panel of lawyers in the state has declared that a close scrutiny of the decisions showed that their overall effect tilted in favour of the cause being pursued by the faction of the party loyal to Governor Sullivan Chime.

The lawyers, whose views were made known in a report published by the Centre for Leadership and Democracy Studies (CLDS), Enugu, said that based on the decisions of the courts, Ikeje Asogwa remains the lawful acting Chairman of the party in the state, contrary to the opinion held in some quarters.

They pointed out that even though a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, presided over by E.S Chukwu, had in a ruling delivered on November 18, declared that Elder David Ajah was entitled to act as Chairman of the Enugu PDP, following the resignation of former Chairman Vita Abba, the suit upon which the ruling was made had been overtaken by events even before it was filed.

The lawyers explained that the suit filed by Ajah challenged Asogwa’s appointment by the State Executive Committee (SEC) of the party at a meeting held on October 25, 2014. However, the SEC had met again on October 31 and reappointed Asogwa as acting Chairman, thereby effectively overriding and nullifying the appointment made on the 25th, upon which the suit was based.

The ruling according to them was therefore “in vain” and not binding on Asogwa or the SEC. They further stressed that since no one had challenged or obtained a ruling against the appointment made on October 31 by Court of law till date, Asogwa remained the valid acting Chairman of the party in the state.

The report also noted that even though another Federal High Court presided over by the Justice Ademola Adeniyi, had on November 24, 2014, held that ward congresses of the party were validly held in the state, the Court declined to grant the prayer of the plaintiffs to order the PDP to accept the results that emerged.

On the contrary, an Enugu High Court presided over by the Chief Judge of the State, Justice Innocent Umezuruike, had in an order issued on November 13, 2014, expressly barred the PDP from accepting or using the results from the said congress, pending the determination of a suit challenging its validity.

The report said, “What this means is that the result purportedly obtained from the said PDP ward congresses in Enugu cannot be used by the party for any purpose including the conduct of primaries until the order is vacated.

Enugu PDP Crisis: Court Decisions Favour Chime, Say Lawyers



Legal mumbo-jumbo. Chime camp now clinching straw of hope, hoping that his followers will hope on. Wishful thinking and arrant nonsense.

Could someone please reach Chime that what his followers desperately need now is not legal jargon. DELEGATES, DELEGATES, stupid!

Or he thinks this one is about chicken deputy or little Josef Onoh that he could harass with legal action. With his father, legal luminary Onoh nwa Ngwo gone, the snake-rearing young dude had no liver. If not, Chime would have gone nowhere with that suit. Ordinary Ethel Nebo Ezeabasili, a mere employee trounced him in court and got a N10million reward for her sweat. Just few days ago, Ideke and Guradian newspaper stood their ground and in the end Chime lost in a N1bn suit he brought against them.

Show me the delegates and I will follow you.

Court ruling is today. Victory is definite and the case will be struck out forever!

Whichever, delegate primary elections of the PDP must surely happen tomorrow and even if its the other way, the Party has the right under electoral law to decide who flies its ticket in an election. So, the outcome of the primary will simply be sent to INEC and the party will say it did not use the delegate. Buffoons! Buffoons !! Pls wake up. The train has left Chime!

Someone please call his attention and tell him that "lost-out" is a 4-letter (compound) word.

CJ's court adjourns till next Fri.

One exasperated aspirant said "All I hear here is settlement; adjournment; settlement and am still waiting to know and be sure if the settlements are not utopian. From my own understanding; their is still uneasy calm between the prosecutor and defendant.
Still loading....."

Too early to say. Just as said, an uneasy calm pervades the Coal City State

"The consensus arrangement imposed on the party and the aspirants was described as one of the greatest mistakes of Chime’s end game.  Not only has the decision destroyed the unity of the party in the state, it created a lot of enemies for the governor who was already at loggerheads with the National Assembly members led by the Deputy President of the Senate."

Re: 2015: Enugu Imploding, Chime's Political Fortune In Final Days by otil1: 2:04pm On Nov 29, 2014
Likely there will be a stalemate today.

An issue just cropped up:

After last night's agreement for both sides to cease fire under the agreement that all first-timers to the State Assembly should be returned, this morning, Sullivan's camp is insisting on the use of their own delegates.

Most people are bewildered asking how can a list of delegates not known by the Party be used for a valid election.

For now, we are in high sun and no way yet.

They have taken word back to Chime that it is rather a silly move that will not benefit his people he wanted back because it could be challenged successfully. But his issue is lack of trust, even though he has been fully assured that his people will be returned.

If he doesn't see reason, maybe the voting will go ahead, but the dropped candidates are grinning and waiting for the mistake to be made.

Otherwise, everything is calm.

More later...

Chime’s peace with cudgel in hand
on november 30, 2014 at 12:23 am in politics


"What agreements? Is that the Enugu West senatorial seat should be zoned from Greater Awgu to Udi/Ezeagu to bring it closer home for his grab? Is it that the Udi/Ezeagu House of Reps seat must leave Ezeagu to Udi (his home) so that his son-in-law (husband of his first daughter) could grab it, while Ezeagu people go empty-handed like Aaron? Is it that the Enugu East senatorial seat must be dashed to his former Chief of Staff and his clan’s sister married to Nkanu man, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo? Or is it his efforts to replace the House of Reps member representing Enugu South/North (Hon. Ofor Chukwuegbo) with his cousin, Chime Oji? Is it about his design to replace Hon. Kingsley Ebenyi of Enugu East/Isiuzo Federal Constituency with his brother-in-law, Prince Cornelius Nnaji."
