11/09 FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

11/09 FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS

We shall never forget the sad event that occurred at Nkwọ Enugwu-Ukwu on Sunday September 11, 2022. On that day, I was returning from Nnewi Diocesan Synod and as if it was a movie, bullets started raining from all angles and sadly, two of my Aides; Ikechukwu Odum and Goodnews Matthias as well as two of the security personnel attached to me; Inspector David Jimoh and Sergeant Bello Lawan paid the ultimate price. It was a horrifying experience that will forever be etched in our memories. The peaceful atmosphere suddenly turned into chaos and despair. The loss of lives, including my dedicated aides and security personnel, is a tragedy that words cannot fully express.

Odum Ikechukwu and Goodnews Matthias were not just my aides; they were loyal and committed individuals who served with utmost dedication. Their untimely demise is a great loss not only to me but also to their families, friends, and the community they belonged to. Their selflessness and unwavering support will always be remembered. The security personnel who lost their lives while protecting us also deserve our utmost respect and gratitude. They put their lives on the line to ensure our safety, and their sacrifice will never be forgotten. Their families have been left devastated, and our thoughts and prayers go out to them during this difficult time.

This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the unpredictable nature of the world we live in. It is a reminder that violence can strike at any moment, even in the most unexpected places. We must remain vigilant and united in our efforts to promote peace and security in our communities.

As we mourn the loss of our dear ones, let us also remember to cherish the memories we shared with them. Let us honour their lives by continuing the work they started and striving for a better and safer society. May the souls of Ikechukwu Odum, Goodnews Matthias, Inspector David Jimoh, and Sergeant Bello Lawan rest in eternal peace, and may their families find solace and strength in this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.

TRIBUNAL DISMISSES CHRIS AZUBOGU, OBINNA UZOH AND CHRIS UBA’S PETITIONS, UPHOLDS SENATOR IFEANYI UBAH’S VICTORY.

To God be the glory, yesterday, 6th of September 2023, the Election Tribunal sitting in Awka, Anambra State upheld my victory in the February 25th National Assembly election and dismissed the consolidated petitions of both Chris Uba of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chris Azubogu of All Progressives Alliance (APGA) and Obinna Uzoh of Labor Party (LP).

The Tribunal ruling which dismissed the petition filed by the trio on the basis of lack of merit is an attestation of both the perfect will of God and the irrefutable choice of the good people of Anambra South at the February 25 polls. It also reinforces the confidence our people have in the judiciary; this is a good development for the advancement of democracy in our nation Nigeria as the judiciary has shown it is indeed the last hope for all.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Pride of Anambra South Politics.

CONGRATULATIONS to the Lion of Igbo Nation

CONGRATULATIONS to Ndi Anambra South Senatorial District.

CONGRATULATIONS to Democracy.

DETAILS OF MY VISIT TO ANTWERP CITY OF BELGIUM

Earlier today at Antwerp city of Belgium, I attended the 2023 edition of the Nigerian Arts and Culture Festival organized under the supervision of the Nigerian Ambassador to Belgium H.E Obinna C. Onowu. The Nigerian Arts and Culture Festival was a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria. It provided a platform for Nigerian artists to showcase their talent and for the audience to experience the beauty and diversity of Nigerian arts. The event was a testament to the strong cultural ties between Nigeria and Belgium and highlighted the importance of fostering international relationships.

During the event which I attended with my Senior Special Assistant on Corporate Contacts; Hon Ifeanyi Nwankwo, my Senior Special Assistant on Special Duties; Mr Mcgoshen Onwunzo, My Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs; Chief Ernest Otugo and his wife Mrs Felicity Otugo as well as my Personal Assistant; Mr Chukwuemerie Uduchukwu, I had the opportunity to experience the rich and vibrant Nigerian culture through various art forms, performances, and exhibitions.

The festival also showcased a wide range of Nigerian arts, including traditional music, dance, fashion, visual arts, and literature. The performances were captivating and showcased the diversity and talent of Nigerian artists. From the rhythmic beats of traditional drums to the energetic dance moves, the audience was enthralled by the cultural display. It was fascinating to see the different interpretations of Nigerian culture and history through these artworks. In addition to the performances and exhibitions, there were also literary sessions where Nigerian authors and poets shared their works. It was a great opportunity to listen to their stories and gain insights into Nigerian literature and storytelling traditions.

I will always remain grateful to the Nigerian Ambassador to Belgium H.E Obinna C. Onowu for inviting me to the colourful event. Our culture is our heritage and we shall always engage in quality partnerships that will strengthen it. Also, big thanks to the Nigerian community in Belgium for honouring me with a warm reception. Together, we shall project our norms and values to the world.

TOGETHER WE CAN CREATE A SAFER AND MORE SECURE ENVIRONMENT

In continuation of my efforts to sustain security in Nnewi and other parts of Anambra South Senatorial District, I had another round of meeting with the personnel of Nnewi Vigilante Service on Wednesday August 30, 2023 at the Ifeanyi Ubah International Stadium, Nnewi-Ozubulu. During the meeting, I emphasized the importance of collaboration and synergy between the Nnewi Vigilante Service and other security agencies in the District. I stressed the need for effective intelligence gathering, prompt response to distress calls, and proactive measures to prevent crime.

I also highlighted the significance of community involvement in maintaining security. I encouraged the vigilante personnel to engage with the residents, build trust, and encourage them to report any suspicious activities or individuals. I emphasized the importance of community policing and the role it plays in preventing crime.

Furthermore, I discussed the need for regular training and capacity building for the vigilante personnel. I emphasized the importance of staying updated on the latest security techniques and strategies to effectively combat crime. I assured them of my commitment to supporting them by providing necessary resources.

Additionally, I addressed the issue of welfare for the vigilante personnel and handed over multiple yams to them in the spirit of the Afiaọlụ (New Yam Festival) that was just concluded. I acknowledged their dedication and sacrifice in ensuring the safety of the community especially throughout the festive period and assured them of my commitment to improving their welfare. I promised to explore avenues for financial support and incentives to motivate them in their duties.

Let me again express my gratitude to the Nnewi Vigilante Service and Nnewi Concerned Citizens for their unwavering commitment to maintaining security in the community. Their successful outings motivated me to plan towards extending the security scheme to other parts of Anambra South Senatorial District. I also call on all stakeholders to join us as we work tirelessly to keep our District safe. I will also be available for any meeting that will focus on ways to boost security in various local government areas of our zone. Together, we can create a safer and more secure environment for all residents of our Senatorial District.

Nnewi Security, Sen Ifeanyi Ubah CON and Nnewi Concerned citizens

THE POLITICS OF NNEWI SECURITY, AND THE NEED TO SUPPORT SEN IFEANYI UBAH CON AND MEMBERS OF THE NNEWI CONCERNED CITIZEN'S EFFORTS.

THE POLITICS OF NNEWI SECURITY, AND THE NEED TO SUPPORT SEN IFEANYI UBAH CON AND MEMBERS OF THE NNEWI CONCERNED CITIZEN'S EFFORTS

*THE POLITICS OF NNEWI SECURITY, AND THE NEED TO SUPPORT SEN IFEANYI UBAH CON AND MEMBERS OF THE NNEWI CONCERNED CITIZEN'S EFFORTS*.

It is a fact that the state of security in Nnewi in particular and Nigeria in general has become unbearable for the entire population. The government at every level had struggled over the couple of years to restore sanity through several means to no avail. The consequences of this ugly trend have destroyed businesses, pushed people to flee Nnewi and Anambra State thereby causing untold damage in our economy. Many lost their lives due to the activities of the men of the underworld. The peace and joy inherent in the wonderful ambiance of Nnewi and environs were completely lost. It became a National discourse with its attendant catastrophic consequences on the general economy of the state and country in general.

The Distinguished Senator (Dr) Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah CON (Ebubechukwu-uzo) in collaboration with Nnewi Concerned Citizens devised a strategy, one of its kind in Nigeria in tackling this huge security problem. His unflinching dedication to the welfare of his people and constituency (Anambra South Senatorial District) is second to none. Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah CON painstakingly financed the new technologically based security surveillance programs that had proved most effective and successful in Nnewi. The crime rate has reduced drastically. His initiative had attracted the applause of security experts from within and outside the State. Many communities, towns and States are understudying this wonderful but costly model, with intention of replicating it for their respective areas. We are proud of the effort of Dr Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah CON. He needs the collective support of the good people of Nnewi to sustain this program.

My wonderful people of Nnewi it’s time to tell ourselves the obvious truth. Sen. Ifeanyi Ubah CON has proven over the time the selflessness in his pursuit for a better Nnewi. He has spent fortune in this regards. Therefore, it’s seriously unfortunate that some cabals have sworn to undermine his efforts by frustrating the source of our collective patrimony which invariably will enhance and sustain this laudable legacy. Nnewi as a town, is not only known as the producer best brains in business but with amiable peaceful King too. The wisdom that radiates in the town is fast losing its effect due to greedy, unrepentant hawks that feed fat from our collective patrimony. They disguise themselves in different forms causing havoc, and are always ready to unleash terror in order to sustain their evil practices. These few that are undermining the wonderful efforts of Sen. Ubah and Nnewi Concerned Citizens should be ashamed of themselves and surrender to good conscience for the good and progress of the town. Evil will never supersede good rather it will take time.

My good people of Nnewi let us not politicize the noble strides of our worthy brother and son towards making Nnewi great again. Lets unite and sustain the security architecture already introduced. Let’s think in earnest about the future of our youths, their welfare, because they are drifting to the point of destruction due to factors we all know. My father says “to educate the mind is to liberate it”, we need the education that will liberate us from the grip of selfish, egoistic few.

Nnewi Community in Abuja elects Sir Godwin ajezie as president general

NNEWI COMMUNITY IN ABUJA ELECTS NEW EXECUTIVES, WITH SIR GODWIN AJEZIE AS THE PRESIDENT GENERAL.

...as Sen Ifeanyi Ubah CON, the Senator representing the good people of Anambra South at the 10th congratulates him and his new exco members.

Yesterday, the Nnewi Community meeting, Abuja elected a new executive that will pilot the union's affairs for the next two years. The event which took place at the Delight Garden Apo, Abuja also afforded us the opportunity to deliberate on issues that will promote the wellbeing of our people and Nigerians in general. Though I was unavoidably absent at the meeting, I mandated my Chief of Staff; Mr Chigozie Udogu, my Personal Assistant; Mr Chukwuemerie Uduchukwu and Mr Uzo Udegbunam to represent me and share my developmental ideas with our people and I am confident that the newly elected executive led by Sir Godwin Ejezie is a group of dedicated individuals who have shown great commitment to the progress and development of our community and I have full confidence in their ability to lead and make decisions that will benefit our people.

Furthermore, in support of the efforts of the past administration and the commitment of the newly elected executive to community development, I am putting fresh measures in place to facilitate more developmental programmes to our communities. You may recall that I have donated a land for the construction of the proposed Nnewi House, Abuja and through my office, I have also facilitated one hundred million naira for the project's actualization. The proposed facility shall be an ultramodern edifice aimed at providing skill acquisition and empowerment opportunities for our people. I am particularly passionate about youth empowerment and ensuring that our young people have access to opportunities that will enable them to thrive and contribute meaningfully to society, and I am confident that the new executive will prioritize this issue and come up with innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by our youth.

It is important to note that Nnewi is the economic and political capital of Anambra South Senatorial District which I represent at the Red Chamber and as the economic hub, the community plays a crucial role in driving the economic growth of the Senatorial District, Anambra State and Nigeria as a whole.

Congratulations to Sir Godwin Ejezie and other members of the new executive. Also, big thanks to all members of the past executive, the election committee and all that attended the meeting and actively participated in the election process. I assure you that I will continue to work tirelessly to ensure that our collective interests are adequately represented and that my constituents are provided with the necessary resources and support to thrive. Once again, I congratulate the newly elected executive and wish them all the best.

2023 INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY: A CALL FOR GREATER PARTICIPATION OF THE YOUTH IN NATION-BUILDING

The youth are the pillars of every nation, and as we celebrate the International Youth Day, we recognize the importance of empowering and investing in our young people. The theme of this year’s celebration - “Green Skills For Youth: Towards a Sustainable World” is aimed at developing skills that would foster the cultivation of a paradigm shift towards an environmentally sustainable and climate-friendly world adept at responding to the crisis occasioned by climate change to help in the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

It is important to note that the youth should not only be seen as the future leaders but also as the driving force behind social, economic, and political change. On this day, we acknowledge the potential and capabilities of the youth in shaping a better and sustainable world, especially through green skills. It is crucial to provide them with the necessary tools, resources, and opportunities to thrive and contribute to society, conserve our natural resources, and support a resource-efficient society. By investing in their education, skills development, and employment, we can ensure a brighter future for all.

As a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and National Leader of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), my primary goal is hinged on empowering and developing the youth in my Senatorial District and Nigeria by extension. Also, as the National Leader of YPP, a party that has the development of young talents as its priority, I am obliged to facilitate programmes that will discover, empower, and develop young talents.
To achieve these, I have taken vital steps and partnered with relevant authorities to execute various empowerment programs. One of my key partnerships is with the National Directorate of Employment (NDE). Through this collaboration, we have implemented skill acquisition and vocational training programs for the youth in my Senatorial District. These programs aimed to equip them with the necessary skills to become self-reliant and contribute to the economic growth of our nation.

Additionally, I have partnered with the Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) to create employment opportunities for the youth in my Senatorial district.
This collaboration has resulted in the training of hundreds of youths in various fields, enabling them to develop their skills and be self-employed.
I have also worked closely with the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs to implement various empowerment initiatives. These initiatives include providing financial support and resources to young entrepreneurs, facilitating access to grants, and creating mentorship programs to guide and support the youth in their entrepreneurial endeavours.

In order to ensure the sustainability of these empowerment programs, I have made it a priority to secure an empowerment and support fund for my constituents in the 2023 Federal Budget.
This fund will be allocated towards supporting the youth in my Senatorial District through various initiatives, including capacity building, green skills, entrepreneurship development, and access to financial resources. By partnering with relevant authorities and securing necessary funds, I am committed to empowering and developing the youth in my Senatorial District.

Furthermore, the International Youth Day serves as a reminder to address the challenges faced by young people. Issues such as unemployment, poverty, inequality, and lack of access to quality and affordable education and healthcare need to be tackled effectively. By addressing these challenges, we can create an inclusive and sustainable society where every young person can reach their full potential. Notably, youth engagement and participation in decision-making processes are also vital. Their voices and perspectives must be heard and taken into account when shaping policies and programs that directly affect them. By involving young people in decision-making, we can foster a sense of ownership and responsibility, empowering them to become active citizens and leaders in their communities.

As we celebrate the International Youth Day, let us commit to investing in our youth, providing them with the opportunities they deserve, and creating an environment where they can thrive. Together, we can build a better future for all with the youth at the forefront of this positive change while imbibing in them, the necessary knowledge, attitudes, abilities and values needed to live in and foster the development of a sustainable world.
