This is how a running mate should look like


Full of life and vigor, highly intelligent and ready to work for the growth of a nation...



ObiDatti is a goal!

Before the election, every sane Nigerian will align behind ObiDatti, leaving only urchins and Agbado munchers to grapple for crumbs of Tinubu

NwekereNdokl:
Can Edeoga achieve this, even though Ugwuanyi has failed? Okpansukkaisbae christejames

He will surely be accountable to the people

Collect your money!

That's beautiful


If you live in a sane society like USA where you experience good governance and its dividends you won't find it difficult to align with the ObiDatti philosophy.

That's why every well meaning Nigerian and youths with prospects will surely fall in line with Peter Obi, he is answer to a new Nigeria when placed amongst the major contenders.


This UFC fighter knows that our sports, entertainment, industries, tourism and social welfare will be improved upon with ObiDatti at the helm

As a lawyer he is right...



El Rufai is the Chief Security Officer of the state, so he should apprehend the killers of the woman.

Digitron,



I just went through the manifesto and I am encouraged more by his plans for the state.

If you compare Edeoga's manifesto with that of Mbah you can see and feel the one that is down to realities. I love the way he later highlighted how he will achieve that unlike that of his colleague. This is how leadership is measured.


Nigeria has grown beyond those years when politicians will just open their mouth to tell us how they will transform us for the better without telling us how they will go about it, we are wiser now.



Digitron, I hope you are convinced by this manifesto to throw your support to Edeoga let's take back our state together.

That is image projection na , why are Agbado urchins so daft...


This one also will not sway the electorates who are already battered by their misgovernance towards them



APC should rather be apologizing for their misrule during this period.

Northerners are wicked ooo


After all the millions Tinubu dashed you guys, you are supporting him with crumbs?

Digitron, I can see you've posted them...



Let me go through them. Thanks for posting them

Digitron:
christejames, I just saw a presentation your man Edeoga did where he summarised his plan.

Have you seen it?

I will upload it and let the house compare it with Peter Mbah's manifesto

No, I have not seen it...




Please do paste it for us to compare

This thing that our northern brothers are planning for the Agbado master and his urchins is not good ooo

There is nothing evil that Tinubu cannot do


For refuting this alone already affirms the notion that he is nursing that idea of relocating the Capital...


He might not relocate it through policies but Bourdillion road will become his Aso Rock because moving between Abuja and Lagos will be tasking for the old man.



But the good news for Tinubu is that he won't be winning next year's election, so his deserved rest at Bourdillion is assured



ObiDatti to the rescue!

The Northerners are not fools, they will show the evil party APC where they rightly belong come 2023

That's the handiwork of APC urchins just to discredit Jackson ... And to create sympathy for the senile Agbado master



We know their antics

Ogbuefi2020:
How can someone promise 10,000 km of road? What is the total surface area of Enugu State? This man should not be taken seriously.

Thank God there is someone like me seeing through their deceit!

Labour Party has taken over!

Those saying Igbo leaders are not supporting Obi



Ezeife is just a tip of the iceberg

This is an uppercut from Atiku



Bestowing the GCFR title on the Agbado master already?







Tinubu the biggest BANGER entertainer is now the Grand Comedian of the Fed Rep

Urchins are indeed shameless and Brainless fools...



Just look at nigeriaisgreat; the big urchin begging for stipends while still showing his foolishness supporting those who made him the way he is

Congratulations


The men look young

Tinubu, a self acclaimed accountant that is scared of statistics...


No be juju be that?



And he wants to lead a heterogeneous country like Nigeria?

I thought I was the only one that heard that BANGER while watching the APC show of shame





On a serious note, I don't blame Tinubu for all these gaffes, my grouse is with the selfish and greedy politicians still pushing this man to the guillotine. Once he drops a BANGER, the fools pushing him will just be clapping and laughing... Indeed, most APC members need to be taken through some psychiatric test and examinations, if they can't throw in the towel now.

We all saw that...



Let's just pretend the stadium was filled to the brim with the gangways overflowing with people just to give urchins some false hope today

Digitron:
You and this your Edeoga

Lol!



I just want a new and better Enugu away from the old order.

APC is confused



Forcing people to attend your rally?

Happy anniversary Nwanyi oma

And then, listen to one of the phantom promises from Peter Mbah..... His promises reeks of the old order. How will he construct the roads?










Enugu: PDP guber candidate promises to construct 10,000km of roads


“We shall construct 10,000 kilometres of roads across the state to enable easy movements of goods and farm produce to markets.”

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu, Peter Mbah, says he will construct 10,000km of roads across the state if elected.

Mr Mbah made the promise on Wednesday at town hall meetings held at Aninri East and Aninri South Development Centres in the Aninri local government area.

“We shall construct 10,000 kilometres of roads across the state to enable easy movements of goods and farm produce to markets. Massive warehouses, equipment for processing, logistics and packaging will be made available,” stated Mr Mbah. “We shall generate economic agents that will patronise our farm produce.”

The guber candidate explained that his administration would provide access roads and complete an ongoing dam project to promote irrigated farming.

“Our own crude oil here in Aninri is agriculture. We have arable land here. We are going to guard our land jealously and address all cases of trespass,” added Mr Mbah. “It is part of our programme to establish special agro-allied processing zones across the state, and we will provide all that our farmers need to scale up production.”

The member representing the Aninri constituency at the House of Assembly, Chinedu Okwu and the commissioner for labour and productivity, Uchenna Ogbonna, decried flooding in the area.

They noted that flooding had led to low agricultural productivity and urged Mr Mbah to complete the dam project started by the federal government.

My Administration Will Computerise Land Ownership In Enugu – Edeoga

By Our Correspondents On Nov 25, 2022


Labour Party’s governorship candidate in Enugu State, Chijioke Edeoga, in this interview speaks on national issues bordering on insecurity, state policing and governance. He speaks on some of the things he would do differently if he emerges the next governor of Enugu State. Excerpts:

Your entrance into the politics of Enugu State has changed the dynamics. What has really changed?

What has really changed is that the people of Enugu State and Nigeria are responding positively, hopeful, and energetically to the changes that the current electoral law has brought to the process of electioneering and the process of announcing the results in such a way that the outcomes have been substantially in accordance with the people’s wishes.


The people have long agonised, worried or refused to participate because they said or knew that the outcomes usually were not in tandem with their expressed preferences; you vote one thing and the difference will be announced. It has been done so brazenly over the years. So, there has been substantial alienation, indifference, withdrawal, or contempt for the electoral process, but thanks to the current dispensation at the national level as it regards electoral law, which has been operationalised in Anambra, Ekiti, and Osun states, people have woken up to the reality of the situation or to the fact that a change has come.

Secondly, the people have had it up to their necks, and everybody can now see that tribalism will not do it for you; faith will not do it for you; and if you keep on removing yourself from the process, you keep on electing people who will govern you willy-nilly whether you like it or not. So, the convergence of the bad leadership that we have witnessed, especially in the past seven years at the federal level under General Muhammadu Buhari, and in the various states of the country, has woken the citizens to the fact that they must perform.

Thirdly, what has changed in Enugu State is that a combination of these things has conspired with fate to bring a candidate like myself, Chijioke Edeoga, who God obviously prepared for a time like this, who fate obviously prepared for a time like this, and who enjoys popular acceptance with regards to general knowledge that he is credible, that he has the cognate experience, that he is well-read, and that he has offered himself to become the torchbearer of the concerns of the concerned.

People’s wishes to decide their fate democratically have been repressed, suppressed, and outright marginalised in Enugu State. So, the opportunity presented by this new electoral law is the obvious need for change because the PDP is no longer an option and the APC is clearly worse. One is a sniper and the other is corrosive acid, corrosive acid is more dangerous than a sniper. It’s a confluence of several different factors coming from various directions, all coming together at a time when things must happen or we will perish. Change must happen, or else we are doomed. You can see the Naira is in free fall now; you can see that shops are closing, unemployment is high, and we have lost count of the unemployed or unemployable. The markets are closing, and despair and gloom are at their highest level. So we have become the torchbearers for change. That is what has changed people: the kind of people they want has come at a time when they have been empowered politically or electorally to decide their fate.

You ran for the PDP governorship ticket earlier and lost before you joined the Labour Party. People are saying that you are so desperate to be governor because you violated the pact you signed with other aspirants, to support whomever the governor anointed as the PDP governorship candidate. Can you tell Nigerians and Enugu electorates what really transpired?

I didn’t sign any pact with the governor of Enugu State. I made no agreement with anyone to give up or surrender my democratic rights to do anything legal or democratic. I didn’t sign any pact, and I am not desperate for anything. My candidacy is a response to the yearnings of Enugu State for change—change from the old order, which has clearly failed. So the fact that one was in PDP does not preclude you from having your thoughts because Jesus Christ told us to be in the world but not of the world. So one was in the PDP, but one was not touched by the numerous obvious sins of the PDP.

Your party has come under severe attacks in Enugu State. It appears to be a calculated attempt to stifle your party and frustrate your support base. Are you concerned that this is happening?

Yes, we are concerned; whatever happens to one actually happens to all. We are concerned about the increase in violence in Enugu State, particularly kidnapping. Many prominent people have been kidnapped. Former Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Dan Shere, was kidnapped recently. The most prominent people have been kidnapped. It seems kidnapping has become a daily occurrence in Enugu State. People don’t go to their farms again; there is rising hunger and disenchantment, and the farms have been occupied. My Mgbuji community’s 14 villages have been occupied for almost one year now; in Ichie, the Unado area is a no-go area. Igbo-Eze North is a no-go area, and gradually we are losing territory to herdsmen and other forms of occupants and miscreants. So, yes, there have been attacks, even in Igbo-Eze North Labour Party activity was attacked. In Nomeh, Labour Party activity was attacked. In Aninri, Labour Party activity was attacked, but I am not certain; we are working towards finding an answer, but I cannot say categorically that those things are aimed only at the Labour Party operatives, agents, or people. That is the honest response to that situation. It is worrisome; it is pervasive.

Lots of people who invested in land-property businesses have lost their investments. They have accused government officials of land racketeering and grabbing. How are you going to tackle the issue if you become governor?

We are going to computerise land administrations with the geographic information system. It is a new system that computerises land, and we are going to do it in Enugu. Kaduna State has done it, and Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, has also done it. We are going to computerise land ownership in Enugu State so that at the touch of a button, all those things will be available. What has been suffocating it is the system’s inertia and corruption, which are fighting back.

So, we are going to make sure we force those changes because you have to force them a lot of the time because people don’t want them. The city of Enugu is congested already, so we are going to create other hubs around the Oji River and Nsukka. We are going to re-plan Enugu. We will properly acquire land and build outer and inner roads to decongest Enugu and reduce land racketeering unless you are a natural land racketeer.

What is your take on insecurity, and do you support the use of state police to combat the country’s ferocious insecurity?


I subscribe to the state police outfit. It is a tenet of federalism. It is a core tenet of federalism, state police, and community police. You don’t have to be afraid to take steps; once problems begin to arise, you begin to address them. The Central Police has failed us, and it has become mismanaged. The Central Police is run with a lot of insensitivity and is almost arrogant and contemptuous of the feelings of the federating units. You can’t have, for instance, an Igbo man going to Kirikasamma, Birniwa, Malam Mandoni, or Guri in Jigawa State, and you said he’s going to police; what is he going to police there? Or have him in different parts of Katsina State or the innermost part of Zamfara. He doesn’t understand the nuances, he doesn’t understand the culture, he doesn’t understand the interplay of forces, and he is there, so what can you police? You don’t understand all the dialects. What is he doing there? Policing? No.

If it is the federal police and he is involved in forensics, fingerprints, or monitoring, then if he monitors, he gives the outcome to the state police or local police for effectiveness, so we must have levels of police in Nigeria.

We need the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be involved in interstate crimes involving blood, blood testing, forensics, pictures, data, or photographs, such as data from DNA reports or facials; that is what the FBI should be doing; they should be the coordinator of state activities. The state police should be handling local issues. If you commit a crime within Enugu State, Enugu police will be on the scene; however, if you commit a crime in Anambra and cross into Enugu or in Enugu and cross into Benue, it becomes a federal offence, and federal police will descend on you; they will be properly trained, better equipped, and better remunerated. Kidnapping, once committed in your state, is a federal crime by definition, a state crime by definition, and a local crime by definition.

We must have a police force that is properly trained, properly oriented, properly remunerated, and properly equipped in accordance with those localities. So, the state police are inevitable, and to delay them or deny them is just being funny and mischievous.

Nigerians are afraid that if we have state police, the governors will hijack and abuse it. Is that not a genuine concern?

Yes, it has its challenges, but those things must exist to tackle the challenges. Let them come first, and if the governors begin to abuse them, as I am sure they will, may, or have in the past, we will say in other countries, “How do you curb the excesses of police supervising authorities? If there are clashes between local police and federal police, the law will come to moderate their relationships.”

If, for instance, governance becomes too high handed with regard to state police, then you insist on a one-term governorship.

Why you de reply Chino, those drone views de pain am

I thought as much, only Chino could be that pained...



What an embittered soul rusting away.

NwekereNdokl:
Nobody asked you clown to post pictures here, but at least you people should stop pretending and discuss what's going on in your state. So many people were massacred by Fulani herdsmen in enugu but you clowns rather pretend in this thread as if nothing happened. I am very sure you would have been posting nonsense in Anambra thread had this happened in Anambra. Bunch of useless hypocritical pretenders. Na who no know una go dey deceive

Fool, be more conserned about your village... Ewu!
