The Labour Party senatorial candidate for Anambra Central zone in the February 25 general election, Chief Victor Umeh, has been disqualified by a Federal High Court 1, sitting in Awka.

The Federal High Court 1, Awka presided over by Justice H. A. Nganjiwa, on Friday, disqualified Umeh on the grounds of non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act.

In a three-hour judgment, Nganjiwa disqualified Umeh on the grounds of non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act as it concerns his membership status of party primary.

The court noted that there was no evidence that the resignation letter by Umeh to the leadership of the All Progressives Grand Alliance was actually received by the party.

The court said his name was still in the membership register of APGA as of September 30, 2022 when he contested the party’s primary. It also said Umeh’s name was not in the membership register of Labour Party as at the June 3, 2022, date of primary of the LP.

The court therefore declared as null and void the publication of Umeh’s name as a candidate earlier by the Independent National Electoral Commission, as he failed to comply with the relevant provisions of the Electoral Act and the LP constitution. The court therefore declared the publication as null and void and of no effect.

The court also issued an injunction restraining Umeh from parading himself as the senatorial candidate of LP. The injunction also prevented the LP from accepting or presenting Umeh as her candidate.

Efforts to get Umeh’s reaction proved abortive as his telephone line indicated switched off. But one of his media aides, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Umeh was in Achalla for his campaign rally and had switched off his line.

This is what bad governance in this country has caused.

His crime is not really serious.

I know a lot of agents in this country that helps one prep basic documents to meet the standards needed.

But I think there's a new security protocols in immigration especially for those traveling to Canada. Others should take note.

Vote Peter Obi and let's stay back and build this country.

Nigerian man sentenced to two years for being a fake immigration consultant in Canada.

A Provincial Court in Winnipeg, Canada has sentenced a Nigerian man, Chinenye Alozie, to two years house arrest for forging bank records and other documents to help would-be immigrants safely enter the country.

The 35-year-old restaurateur and father of four pleaded guilty to acting as an unauthorized immigration consultant and to misrepresenting or withholding facts in immigration applications, offenses under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

The court heard the crimes related to Alozie’s dealings with more than 60 foreigners, most of them students, between 2014 and 2019, Canada Today reports.

He caught the attention of the Canadian Border Services Agency in late 2018 after reports that he had advertised his services to overseas students online.

QC Matthew Sinclair told Judge Stacy Cawley at a hearing on Tuesday that Alozie is not a licensed immigration consultant or attorney.

“He is not authorized to represent persons with regard to their applications,” he said.

According to Sinclair, a look at Alozie’s bank records revealed deposits of $90,000 in 2016 and $120,000 in 2017 from people believed to be foreigners. An investigation by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada found that 52 deposits came from people applying to Canada as temporary students, workers or visitors.

Records provided to Border Protection Agency showed that between 2014 and 2018, Alozie used his personal credit cards to pay the government fees of 61 immigration applicants.

A June 2019 search of Alozie’s home uncovered evidence that he helped 20 clients create false bank statements for their immigration applications and “helped invent fictional storylines or personal stories to increase the likelihood that (her) application is approved,” Sinclair said.

Five of Alozie’s clients were allowed into Canada for their fr@udulent immigration applications, Sinclair said.

Alozie was also ordered to pay $29,000 fine.

I'm not sure how old you are. If you're an adult or a juvenile, whichever you are, you're definitely a disgrace to your family.

That clearly stated, every country needs external trade to thrive economically. You must earn foreign exchange to enjoy a favorable balance of trade, and how do you do that in an insecure state?.

The sate Nigeria now finds itself is what happens when you trust governance to people who have never created wealth like Buhari, and the thief from Iragbiji who is conspiring to ascend the throne.

You must first secure your country, then open yourself for trade and investment. Trade happens through borders, that is where your neighbors are. Trade is not inimical to production. Both activities are mutually complimentary.

Olodo!.

One thing I know is
Peter Obi is a trustworthy leader.

Unlike Tinubu who can not be trusted.
