The Speaker of Abia State House of Assembly, and the Peoples Democratic Party flagbearer for Ikwuano/Umuahia Federal Constituency, Right Honourable Chinedum Enyinnaya Orji MNSE has called on Abians both home and abroad in particular and Nigerians in general to take advantage of the business-friendly environment of the state to invest in her.

The Speaker made the call on Friday during the commissioning of Anyi Duke Resources, makers of Anyi Duke bread and pastries, at Mgbarakuma Ubakala in Umuahia South Local Government Area of Abia state.

The Speaker extolled the proprietor of Anyi Duke Resources, owners of the modern bakery, Honourable Ifeanyi Duke Iroegbu for thinking it wise to invest in the State thereby creating employment for youths of the locality.

He urged other Abians to emulate the step taken by Honourable Iroegbu by taking advantage of the favourable business climate in the state to invest at home. While also imploring the youths to pursue self-reliance driven by the desire to start up small enterprises, saying this would also help to enhance productivity in the state. The Speaker described the performance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the state as evidently impactful.

He assured that the Abia State House of Assembly under his leadership is committed to keep making laws that will continue to improve business operations and keep attracting investments into the state.

Speaking, the lawmaker representing Umuahia South State Constituency at the Abia State House of Assembly, Honourable Jerry Uzosike in whose constituency the pastry making firm is sited, thanked the Speaker for not discriminating against businesses to support as he supports both big corporations and MSMEs as epitomised by his acceptance to commission the pastry making firm and said employment creators like Honourable Ifeanyi Duke deserves even more support.



In the same vein, the Managing Director of Anyi Duke Bakery thanked the Speaker for his support and presence at the event, saying his decision to site the Bakery was borne out of the desire to invest in the sate, create employment opportunities for the youths and also serve as an inspiration to them.

The Speaker had earlier donated a power generating set to the company to help its power needs.

Pots calling kettle black. As if Anambra isn't flooded as we speak. Won't be surprised if you're making this post from Lagos self

LAGOS-The Lagos State Government yesterday, alerted residents of the state, especially those residing on the banks of Ogun River to relocate upland.

The state government also directed property owners and developers to desist from embarking on any form of physical development without adherence to processes and procedures outlined by the government to provide habitable structures across the state.

On the Ogun River Banks, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tunji Bello, who issued the red alert, stressed the need for residents to be vigilant.

Bello said the situation might also be worsened by the release of water from Oyan Dam by the managers, the Ogun Oshun River Basin Development Authority which has increased the level of water in the lagoon.


He listed areas likely to be affected to include: Ketu, Alapere, Agric, Owode Onirin, Ajegunle, Alagbole, Kara, Isheri Olowora, Araromi Otun Orisha community, Agiliti, Maidan, Mile 12, Odo Ogun, Owode Elede, Agboyi 1, Agboyi II, Agboyi III.

He said: “The state government is also working in collaboration with the Ogun Oshun River Basin Development Authority to ensure that water releases from the dam have a minimal negative impact on the residents.”

Igbo women on Wednesday converged on Owerri, the Imo state capital on a solidarity rally for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu.

The women who gathered at the Ndubuisi Kanu stadium, march through some streets in Owerri, causing gridlocks in some parts of the metropolis.

Adorning different APC insignia, the women displayed some placards with messages of support for the APC’s presidential candidate.

According to them, Tinubu was better positioned and prepared to lead the country in 2023.

Not even the afternoon’s downpour in the city deterred the women from marching in support of the presidential bid of the former Lagos state governor.

The wife of the governor of the state, Chioma Uzodinma, said that the Igbo women were in the state to display their support for Tinubu.

She said that the women were optimistic that Tinubu and all the APC candidates across all levels would clinch victories.

APC Presidential Candidate, Tinubu Rejects Buhari’s Nominee, Okadigbo's Widow, As South-East Coordinator, Appoints Campaign Secretary Against Party’s Advice

A fresh crisis is currently brewing in the All Progressives Congress (APC) after its presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu rejected President Muhammadu Buhari’s nomination of Margaret Chuba Okadigbo as the Zonal Coordinator of the Tinubu-Shettima Presidential Campaign Council in the South-East.

Margaret is the widow of the late former Senate President, Dr Chuba Okadigbo.

Multiple sources in the presidency told SaharaReporters that Buhari asked Tinubu to pick Margaret to lead the ruling APC’s campaign in the region but he refused.

“His (Tinubu) South-East penetration is the lowest, he refused Buhari’s nomination of Okadigbo’s wife to handle his South-East campaign. He felt she’s not capable enough despite being told by the President to pick her,” one of the sources told SaharaReporters.

In January, Buhari appointed Margaret as chairman of the newly-incorporated Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited.

Okadigbo was a political ally of Buhari and a one-time running mate.

He was Buhari’s running mate when he contested for President on the platform of the defunct All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) in 2003.

The sources added that the appointment of James Faleke as the party’s Presidential Campaign Council Secretary was made against the advice of the APC National Executive Council.

Tinubu in August named Faleke, a member of the House of Representatives as the Secretary of the Presidential Campaign Council for Tinubu/Shettima 2023.

“A serious crisis is rocking the party over Tinubu’s refusal to accept those nominated to him by party leaders to handle his campaign.

“While he (Tinubu) wants to handpick key people to head the campaign council, party leaders especially the chairman and the presidency through the cabal want their loyalists to be in charge.

“I won’t deceive you, Tinubu’s candidacy is currently receiving the cold shoulder. Imagine, he said he doesn’t trust the party chairman. Now he can’t constitute a presidential campaign committee because of such a high-level crisis.

“Major senators in Katsina, Gombe, and Kebbi are defecting to PDP. His worsening illness is now of serious concern too as he is planning another medical trip abroad.

“He made Faleke his PCC Secretary against the party’s advice that he should appoint one Tarka from Benue State,” another source added.

Before the June presidential primary election of the APC, the party’s national chairman, Abdullahi Adamu favoured the emergence of the Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, as the party’s candidate.

However, Lawan came a distant fourth in the primary with 152 votes against Tinubu’s 1,271 votes.

The APC candidate recently denied nursing grudges against the APC national chairman, saying, “To the rumour manufacturers, I read in some papers about a disagreement between myself and the chairman and that was a very big lie. They didn’t know that we have come a long way. The big masquerade dance not in the cage but in the market square.

“And that is what Adamu used to be, full of wisdom, we were governors together, before God put us together on this project again. He is going to deliver as the chairman of the party for me to become the president of Nigeria. And I am very confident of that.

“They can say whatever they want to say, throw all the jabs that they want, we are a party strongly determined to fulfil our dreams of turning Nigeria into a very progressive, highly developed, prosperous country.”
