May 31,2025

The Anambra State governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo has been described as a political toddler who has never contested and won any election on his own.

Making this disclosure at the Chinua Achebe International Airport, Umueri, Anambra East Council of Anambra State this afternoon while addressing journalists and the mammoth crowd that came to receive him and his running mate, Sen Uche Ekwunife on their return from receiving the party flag from President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in Aso Rock Presidential Villa in Abuja, the APC candidate- Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu driven by so much confidence said the APC would floor Soludo on November 8,2025 at the poll.

Ikukuoma, as Ukachukwu was popularly called told this to the tumultuous crowd on their arrival when he was treated to a tumultuous reception at the Achebe airport.

In his remarks, the Anambra State APC chairman, Chief Basil Ejidike noted that Gov Soludo and his APGA supporters were celebrating a fake self alliance with APC two earlier when visited the State in his capacity as the nation's President.

But while presenting the APC flag, Tinubu copiously charged Ukachukwu and Ekwunife to "go and get Anambra for me" , which was emphatic and resounding.

He noted that the celebration of the APGA faithful died a natural death with the arrival of Ikukuoma.

According to Ejidike, "Asiwaju Tinubu has confirmed the candidature of Ikukuoma who will lead Anambra to the real center," he said.

Ikukuoma while addressing the mammoth crowd thanked God for his victory at the governorship primary of APC.

"I'm back with a message from President Ahmed Tinubu to all of us in APC, the message is simple 'Go and bring me Anambra', Anambra cannot afford to be backward when issues of Nigeria is being discussed.

"Nkea bu nkeanyi' is not working, we must be get it right now. We are Tinubu, Tinubu is us and we are APC. We will win the election landslide. APC is our party, Tinubu is our president. We will not rig the election, we will win the election clean and clear," he asserted.

The flagbearer urged the party faithful to go all out and bring out the voters who will vote for APC in the governorship election.

"It's over for APGA in Anambra State. Soludo is now very desperate and dropping names and reaching out to stakeholders belatedly. Soludo has never win any election in his life, Obiano won it for him three years ago. November 8 governorship election will show him that he is just floating," he stressed.

The APC guber candidate used the occasion to unveil his running mate, Sen Uche Ekwunife who thanked the people for turning out en-mass to receive her and her principal.

Two Years of Dedicated Service to Ndi Enugu: A Commendation and Suggestions for Further Development
By Hon. Omeje Nnamdi Samson, ADP Guber Candidate 2023

Warmest congratulations, Your Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, Executive Governor of Enugu State, on your second anniversary in office! Two years of dedicated service to Ndi Enugu State is a remarkable achievement, and I commend your tireless efforts to improve the economy and well-being of our citizens. Enugu has not had it so good!

As you celebrate this milestone, I'd like to acknowledge the progress made so far and offer suggestions to further enhance the state's development:

1. PRIORITIZE LOCALISED SECURITY MEASURES +: Address unique community challenges to ensure a safer environment for citizens and businesses.

2. REDUCE TAXATION FOR SMALL BUSINESSES: Provide relief and stimulate economic growth, enabling entrepreneurs to thrive and create jobs.

3. FOSTERING COLLABORATION AND INCLUSIVENESS: Continue engaging with stakeholders, including opposition parties, to build a better, stronger, and more prosperous state for all.

Your leadership has shown promise, and these measures would cement your legacy as a champion of the people. I wish you continued success and guidance as you navigate challenges and opportunities ahead.

Once again, congratulations on your two years in office. I look forward to seeing the positive impact of your policies on our great state.

Sincerely,

Hon. Omeje Nnamdi Samson

It's very cheering to acknowledge the numerous heartwarming reactions already generated by the recent formal presentation of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Anambra State Governorship flag for the fast approaching November 8,2025 election to the candidate, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma) by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

It really goes without saying that the choice of a consummate politician like Prince Ukachukwu as the flagbearer of APC is very commendable.

The reactions generated so far are indeed reassuring that the party and her members made very good decision in electing him at the primary.

Ikukuoma is a name that opens political doors. It opens business, religious and social doors nationwide all seasons, day and night, etc.

As true democrats, we indeed warmly welcome the open discomfort his emergence and collection of flag has been generating within political families of other parties.

Why not?

Ikukuoma has over the years stood out as an outstanding shinning example in every human endeavors he has delved into.

The excitement that the handover of the party's flag to him has been generating was enough strong indication of his public acceptance, popularity and political sagacity.

It's understandable that other participating candidates and political parties in the November 8,2025 poll were forced into rushed tactical meetings.

They were reported now back to the drawing board for new and heightened strategies and brainstorming sessions.

This was with a view to ensuring they are not completely swallowed up and swept off by the "Ikukuoma" tsunami which literally interpretes as 'wind of glory'.

President Tinubu had during the brief but colourful ceremony expressed high optimism in APC winning Anambra vide Ikukuoma. That it would gladden his heart beyond measure.

Consequently he charged the flagbearer in concert with his running mate, Senator Uche Ekwunife and the party as a whole to work together to achieve that.

Ukachukwu, a seasoned political gadfly was the pioneer chairman of the Federal Capital Territory and House of Representatives member who represented the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) in 1999 etc.
He parades a very rich political resume.

His candidature has actually opened a floodgate of new entrants into the party both at the State and National levels.

Because of him, APC has been described as the largest party in Nigeria today.

Let's all join the moving train!

I recently had the privilege of meeting Victor Ikechukwu Uche at a workshop, and his presentation left an indelible mark on my mind. As a man who is partially visually impaired, Victor Ikechukwu Uche's achievements are a testament to his unwavering dedication and passion for special education.

With a remarkable background, including a PhD in Special Education, MSc in Braille, and Certificate in Special Education, Uche has demonstrated expertise and resilience. His experience as State Coordinator of UBEC in Enugu State showcases his ability to drive positive change.

What struck me most about Uche was his wisdom, talent, and skill, which are truly inspiring. Listening to him speak, I was convinced that this is the type of individual we need in special education. His passion and energy to impact lives positively are contagious, and his intellect is a valuable asset to the educational sector.

It's surprising that despite his expertise, Uche's talents may not be fully utilized. I strongly believe that individuals like him should be given opportunities to unleash their genius, particularly in areas where their skills can have the most impact.

Uche's story highlights the need for strategic placement of talented individuals in positions where they can drive meaningful change. His contributions to UBEC and the educational system would be invaluable, especially in special education.

As we strive for educational excellence, let's recognize and empower individuals like Victor Ikechukwu Uche, who embody the spirit of dedication, passion, and expertise. By unlocking their potential, we can create a more inclusive and effective educational system for all.

The recent defection of Rt. Hon Chijioke Edeoga, the Labour Party's governorship candidate in Enugu State, has sparked intense debate about the true value and ideology of politicians. However, amidst this uncertainty, one thing remains clear: the Labour Party's ideology remains unchanged. As the party moves forward, it's essential to recognize that its success shouldn't be tied to individual personalities, but rather to the enduring ideology that drives it.

In this context, Dr. John Nwokeabia, the deputy governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Enugu State during the 2023 general election, emerges as a beacon of hope.

Concerned Labour Party stakeholder

As the leader of the Action Democratic Party (ADP) in Enugu State, as one who is very close to the masses, I am compelled to address the newly proposed Enugu State tenancy bill. While the bill's intention may be to regulate the relationship between landlords and tenants, it is imperative that we ensure fairness and protection for all parties involved.

Protecting Tenants' Rights

The current bill, in its present form, imposes an undue burden on tenants. I strongly advocate for the removal of legal fees from tenants, as it is the responsibility of landlords to engage legal representation. Asking tenants to pay legal fees after already paying agency fees is tantamount to extortion. This double payment will only serve to further exploit vulnerable tenants, exacerbating the already precarious living conditions faced by many.

Moreover, I recommend that the bill includes provisions to:

- Regulate agency fees to prevent exorbitant charges
- Establish a clear and transparent process for rent payments and disputes
- Provide adequate notice periods for rent increases and tenancy terminations

Mass Housing for Low-Income Earners

Furthermore, I propose that the Enugu State government prioritizes mass housing projects for low-income earners. This initiative will alleviate the pressure on private homes, providing affordable and decent living conditions for our citizens. By investing in mass housing:

- We can reduce the housing deficit and curb the proliferation of slums
- We can provide a safety net for low-income families, ensuring they have access to secure and affordable housing
- We can stimulate economic growth by creating jobs and stimulating local economies



I urge the Enugu State House of Assembly to reconsider the tenancy bill and incorporate provisions that safeguard the interests of tenants. It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our laws promote fairness, justice, and the well-being of all Enugu State residents.

I also call on the Enugu State government to prioritize the welfare of its citizens by investing in mass housing projects and regulating the rental market to prevent exploitation.

Finally, I call on the well meaning and stakeholders to support the bill and the state assembly not to delay in passing the bill for the good of our citizens.

Together, we can create a more just and equitable society for all.

Signed,

Hon. Omeje Nnamdi

Leader, Action Democratic Party (ADP), Enugu State

As we step into 2025, I join the good people of Enugu State in expressing gratitude to God Almighty for guiding us through the challenges of 2024.

I commend the resilience and perseverance of our people, who have kept hope alive despite the difficulties we faced.

I am optimistic that 2025 will be a year of divine favor, where God's goodness and mercy will be evident in our lives.

I commend the efforts of His Excellency, Dr. Peter Ndubuisi Mbah, the Governor of Enugu State, for driving transformation and economic growth through his visionary leadership.

We pray that the pace of development in Enugu State will continue to accelerate, bringing prosperity and growth to our people.

I humbly appeal to the Governor to focus on key areas, including:

- Enhancing Contract Quality: Ensuring that contracts in the state meet the highest standards of quality and delivery.

- Taxation Reform: Reviewing the taxation system to support small and medium-sized enterprises, which are the backbone of our economy.

- Expanding Loan Access: Increasing access to loans for small and medium-sized enterprises, empowering them to grow and create jobs.

- Supporting Under-served Groups: Providing start-up grants and support for women and youth,to promote entrepreneurship and economic inclusion.

- Fostering Collaboration: Encouraging cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders, regardless of party affiliation, to build a greater Enugu State.

I also urge The LGA Chairmen to emulate the Governor's developmental strides in infrastructure and social amenities ensuring same in our rural communities. They should know that all eyes are on them.



As we look to the future, I wish everyone a happy and progressive 2025.

May this year bring us closer to realizing our dreams for Enugu State.
