Buhari Government Suspends Opening Of Anambra Airport Over "Insecurity", State Government Kicks The Anambra State government has been advertising the airport’s opening which is scheduled for Saturday, October 30, 2021.
The All Progressives Congress-led Nigerian Government has suspended the opening of the Anambra International Cargo and Passenger Airport, Umueri, for commercial operations, citing security reasons.
The Anambra State government has been advertising the airport’s opening which is scheduled for Saturday, October 30, 2021.
SaharaReporters gathered that the National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno on Thursday instructed the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) not to go ahead with the inauguration of over security report.
Different sources however accused some APC chieftains including the party’s candidate for the November 6, 2021 Anambra governorship election, Senator Andy Ubah of lobbying and prevailing on the presidency to scuttle the event, saying the opening of the airport will give the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) governorship candidate, Prof. Charles Soludo extra advantage in the poll.
Speaking to SaharaReporters, Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C-Don Adinuba confirmed the suspension.
Adinuba who said the development had political colouration, stated that he was informed that they cited security as the reason for the suspension of the inauguration.
The commissioner added that the governor was already discussing with the highest authority in the land, as President Muhammadu Buhari is away in Saudi Arabia.
He expressed confidence that the issue will be resolved.
“Yesterday, in the evening, we received a telephone call from NCAA saying the commissioning slated for tomorrow is no more feasible based on a telephone call from the NSA. None of these things is the right thing, so it’s good for you to know this fact.
“As I told you, everything is based on telephone call, not in writing. Government business is conducted normally in writing. The view of most Anambra people is that the action is politically motivated. There is a politically motivated interference from above, that’s the suspicion of most Anambra people.”
OyigboUpdate: Oga sharap the video has been posted go and watch and stop being an Ignoramus
So it is now soldiers, not longer the villagers poorly script urchin.... The more propaganda being propagating by the Jihadist Fulani government and their unity begging urchins against IPOB/Biafra, the stronger the unity among the Igbo's in the quest for secession which is very paramours...
Whiteangel1234: I think the BNG wanted to take power from IPOB and ESN but they are poorly equipped , I can count only 1 Ak47 and 2 pump action gun , maybe their plan yesterday was to attack military formation and snatch guns from Soldiers and Police but it failed .
Gen Orji and His BNG are not smart Enough to lead a warfare ,zero strategic planning and over confidence induced by smoking weed and fetish Juju .
They are desperate to take glory of the activities of unknown gun and maybe like IPOB start getting international funding but they failed .
The whole thing is a written script, it is very glaring... only gullible can be decieve by this....
Na propaganda go kill this Jihadist government and their unity begging urchins... News circulating in the cyber space which is propaganda claimed that Biafra national Guard members was killed on their way to disrupt Anambra election.... Now this Fulani urchin from Ikwere stock, is claiming that he was killed by the villagers while trying to steal their food....
What a contradiction from infomous propagandist...
Buhari has no solution to Nigeria’s problems, country disintegrating – Soyinka
Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka has accused the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government of lacking the solutions to the challenges confronting Nigeria.
Soyinka said Nigeria was fast disintegrating because the current government lacked the solution to the challenges facing the country.
He stated this at a news conference at Freedom Park, Lagos State, yesterday.
The Nobel Laureate cautioned Nigerians against looking up to the government for solutions facing the country.
According to Soyinka: “The problem here is that the government does not have a holistic grasp of the problems in Nigeria. If we are looking to this government for a solution, then it means we are lost.
“We are in a mess. This country is in a mess. It is disintegrating before our very eyes. This government is floundering.”
He noted that the solution to Nigeria’s challenges is a Sovereign National Conference.
Soyinka said the various ethnic groups in Nigeria should come together and chart a way towards their mutual coexistence.
Mybrotheralso: [s]The Nigerian Army said on Thursday night that its troops conducting Exercise Golden Dawn have neutralised one of the Biafran National Guard gunmen who attacked troops’ location at Amaekpu, Ohafia Local Government Area of Abia State on Thursday 28 October 2021. A statement by Director, Army Public Relations, Brig-Gen Onyema Nwachukwu said, “The assailants, who were heavily armed and conveyed in several vehicles opened fire on the troops’ location, but were met with stiff resistance by the troops.
“In the encounter, the troops neutralized one gunman, while others abandoned their vehicles and retreated in disarray with gunshot wounds. The troops also recovered a pump-action gun, among others. While the criminals withdrew, having been overwhelmed, they were promptly intercepted at Eda by troops of forwarding Operating Base Ohaozara in Ebonyi State. The troops recovered additional three vehicles and apprehended one of the gunmen.
Meanwhile, the United Nations has pledged continuous partnership with the Nigerian Army in tackling security challenges in the country and the Sahel region. This was disclosed Thursday 28 October 2021 by Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Central Africa, Mahamat Khatir Annadif Saled during a courtesy call on the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya at the Army Headquarters Abuja.
Mahamat commended the effort of the NA in stemming the security challenges and activities of insurgents in Nigeria and by extension the Sahel regions.
The UN envoy who was accompanied on the visit by the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General in West Africa and the Sahel, Mr Francois Luncemy Fall said it is very crucial to adopt a regional approach and provide antidotes to tackle terrorism and other contemporary security challenges bedevilling West Africa and the Sahel region.
He added that most of the current security challenges confronting west African states are a spillover of the Libyan crises. He assured the NA of partnership in the quest to checkmate the proliferation of arms and profiling of terrorism financiers. In his remarks, the COAS noted that countries across the globe are currently confronted with terrorism and other security challenges peculiar to each nation, adding that the NA in conjunction with sister services and other security agencies is making steady progress in the fight against insurgency and will not relent in ensuring the menace is brought to an end in Nigeria.
He also harped on the need for partnership with the NA in the areas of terrorism victims’ support, profiling of terrorism financiers, arms proliferation control and technological support.

MyopicMods: [s]Different Categories of IPOBS in Anambra state- Chidi Odinkalu
“The IPOB command-and-control structure — if it existed — is broken down. So there isn’t one IPOB. There are multiple IPOBs. And you’ve got political IPOB,” Odinkalu, a Professor said.
“In Anambra State for instance, I think one of the challenges in the election is knowing which IPOB you are talking about.
“There are political IPOB owned by partisan political actors in Anambra State.
There is a faction in Anambra Central who are masquerading as IPOB. You’ve got a set of cults that are from somewhere in Ebonyi State and parts of Abia State as part of the political IPOB in Anambra State for instance. And then, you’ve got the Nnamdi Kanu’s IPOB. All of them are competing for space. And there is a commercial dimension to this, because people are making money of this stuff. It’s totally messed up, that’s the truth.[/s]
