You said you escaped death and was almost kidnapped in Imo State. Can you tell us what really happened?
Naturally, even before I went to Imo State, I was offered a private jet to take me to Imo State by Imo Government House and their proxies but I refused because I don’t want to be compromised. I refused the private jet and even the tempting offer made to me – very tempting. We are talking about $2 million here, which I refused, although I tried to persuade them that I was going to do what is needful: free and fair primaries. Every stakeholder must be involved. But immediately we landed at the airport was where the problem started. They wanted to kidnap every member and only God knows where they wanted to take us to, which I refused. And to say the least, I pity the Imo people but they have to take their destiny in their own hands and elect who they feel will represent them better. I am not from Imo state but I am a Nigerian. There is equality and there is equity. Some of our governors, I am sorry to say this, take state resources as their personal resources and we know that power is transient. After four or eight years, you are out of power and the system will get you. But having said that, I am happy that the party has vindicated me and I know it is the best decision for the people of Imo state.

The above is what the Imo State people are up against. Rochas will end up in prison when he leaves office. That I can assure you.

so when you come here and talk about rule of law this is what Imo State is up against. This is reality.

the way Uche nwosu will divorce Rocha's daughter after elections will shock the man to death.. That na wetting d man dey try to avoid

considering he married her while in government I wont e surprised if this happens when they are out of government

Proudlyngwa:

Why was the Gulak led committee disbanded,
Why did Gulaks result differ from the rest of the committee.
Why was Nwosu told his wifes fathers ambition scuttled his own.

the man who disbanded Gulak saw the errors of his ways and reversed himself

you are being selective in accepting Oshiomole and the NWC decision

Hope Uzodinma has been submitted to INEC accept defeat or go to court

you cant have it both ways!

I cant help Okorocha create a dynasty in Imo State - Oshiomole

Proudlyngwa:


How is it morally wrong, and how does it smack of impunity.

Is Uche Nwosu qualified to contest for elections, yes or no.
Are you disenfranchising Nwosu because of Rochas.
Let the ballot boxes determine who will be the govenor, from aspirants who won through the right way.

Note, I am not saying Nwosu won the primaries or did not,
what am saying is that Oshiomole has no right to tell them to choose one , neither should Uche not be allowed to contest because his in law is the Governor, for Christ sake what is the logic beside that.

all Oshiomole did was to uphold the initial result of Ahmad Gulak primaries that gave victory of Hope Uzodinma. All Oshiomole did was to follow the law as it is. Rochas/Uche Nwosu can appeal through the courts if they want.

Proudlyngwa:


Are you writing based on emotions, or rule of law.
Is there any law which says a Governor cannot support and handover to his son in law.

We should be more concerned about Rochas using the dtste funds to support the political ambitions of any individual, himself inclusive, which is still an assumption that he will use, not s fact.

Denying Nwosu on that basis is very wrong, mind you people are only assuming .
What is the different between this and what Obasanjo did to Amaechi and Omehia.

We have a process, let that process be followed.

Politics, rule of law, emotions and morality go hand in hand. especially in a young democracy as ours

You pretend about rule of law, monitoring campaign finance and all that gibberish

But we are all in this country where twice electoral umpires sent by the NWC to conduct congresses and primaries in Imo State are mandated to visit the sitting Governor who we know is an interested party in this process. If Rochas is being honest he will not be insisting this umpires pay him a visit and when they do pay him a visit he starts asking for the result sheets even before the election starts. The video of Rochas and his aides saying these is there for all to see. If this is not an attempt by Rochas and his aides to use their office to influence their process then I don't know what is.

Gulak even went on Kakaaki to allege that he was offered private jet ride and $2m to rig the process for Uche Nwosu. I don't personally think this is far from the truth.

So when you come here quoting the law and talking about the rule of law as if everyone else are a bunch of kids. Please know that we know what you know.

In saner climes Rochas wont even be in Government house on election day. He should be in his ward in Orlu voting for his preferred candidate. But because Rochas does not believe in a free and fair process he stayed back in Owerri in Government house to bully the umpires to write results in his favour!

Also note that the same Oshiomole and NWC you castigate reversed the congresses that swept off the party structure from Okorocha

was Oshiomole not a dictator then when he reversed the Oyegun congress and gave Rochas the APC structure?

Don't bite the finger that fed you. Uche Nwosu should wait for his father-in-law to leave office then he can run. Okorocha and family are not the only people in Imo State.

We all know that our elections in this country are not free and fair yet. When we have free and fair elections zoning will not matter and when we have free and fair elections this uche nwosu topic will be inconsequential. But we know elections are not free and fair and a sitting Governor wields enormous power. This is why all men of good will must stand against Rochas and Uche Nwosu on this issue.

It is morally wrong and smacks of impunity. I am not an APC man nor do I support Oshiomole but on this topic Oshiomole is 100% correct!

Uche Nwosu contesting for Governor while his Father-in-law is the outgoing Governor smacks of impunity


Rochas will use all the influence and money and authority his office commands to install his son-in-law. That is impunity of the highest order.


If Uche Nwosu believe that this is genuinely about the people and he has the popularity to win then he should come back and contest in 2023


Nobody says Uche Nwosu have no right to be Governor. What we are against is his Father-in-law using the influence of his office as Governor to install his son-in-law as Governor just as he is about to leave office. That's impunity of the highest orer.


George H W Bush did not hand over to George W Bush. Hillary Clinton did not run for President while Bill Clinton was President. Hillary did not even run for Senate as First Lady. She waited for her husband to leave office and then she came back after to ask for the Amercian people to vote for her in her own right.


Uche Nwosu can run for Governor one day, it is his right. It is however unfair for him to run in 2019 when his father-in-law is leaving the same office. Note also that in Igbo tradition that your Father-in-Law is technically your father.

Imo State people should settle this matter for them by rejecting APC at the polls

from House of assembly, to Governorship to Federal Legislature. Imo must reject APC

This guy is saying the Presidency is copying an Idea we had 10years ago

not sure how this is an applaud?

Just as the courts have no right to stop a protest, they also have no right to stop a strike action

never mind buying more guns after collecting the money

how about buying guns to specifically collect 1 million each from Government?

How much is an AK47?

If Nigeria is serious Burutai will resign

Stopping Uche Nwosu is the most upright thing Oshiomhole has done

international training is based on recommendation

if Nigeria chooses to send a soldier that failed in everything to US war college

US will still accept him and train him

that's just how it works

Festus Keyamo is very dishonest

This is what Buhari should have done since

Admit he has lost his waec

The constitution says minimum of waec

For a man that has served up to general this certificate should not matter really because it has been overtaken by higher certificates

Instead the president kept submitting silly affidavit saying ask the secretary of military board

The whole drama is uncalled for, honesty is best policy sometimes

Nnamdi Kanu was not elected by anyone to make any demands for Igbos

If he wants to speak for Igbos he should seek election among Igbos and put his popularity to test

He has no legitimacy

Rochas Okorocha is a very dangerous human being

the way he justifies the imposition of his son in law without shame is unbelievable

if this man gets anywhere near the Presidency Nigeria is finished

call Tinubu

he did it once for Buhari

he will do it again

Buhari to Oshiomole: Clear the mess

Oshiomole to Buhari: You are the mess Sir!

God is answering our prayers

I hope they lose out

Rochas can not handover to his son-in-law

we are not a Mornachy

Very sound judgement

The Plaintiff should have sued for Libel or Defamation

Ojukaye "Flag" Amachree

still trying to understand why his parents called him FLAG

The nonsense call Nnamdi Kanu has got to stop really

Nobody voted for Kanu to speak for anybody. He has no authority to decide if Igbos should vote or note. This matter is getting serious and it is time for South East youths to stand up to Kanu and IPOB.

probably the south west will never need votes or support of other regions in future

the way this is going power will remain in the north for a long time

it is a shame that a region that has been in power for 8 years of Obj presidency and 4 years of Osibanjo vice presidency that amounts to 12years in the last 20 years are playing this type of games

they will rather the Buhari failed Presidency continues than make sacrifices for National interest

I wont be listening to this nonsense

go get your PVC and stop fooling yourself. IPOB can not achieve Biafra

The only way IPOB can achieve Biafra is if you have a standing Army that can withstand the Nigeria Army and defeat them.

If you are waiting for UN to pronounce you a Sovereign State you will wait forever. The same UN conventions that gives you a right to self determination also gives Nation States a right to their Sovereignty. Time and Time again we have seen that the UN always have bias towards sustaining the Sovereignty of Nation States. This Legal Impasse is the reason why most countries that have achieved independence have only done so through long drawn bitter war! Those who control the affairs of Nigeria are not civilised enough like the British who gave Scotland the chance to leave or remain so this is not likely to happen either.


so rather than endangering the security of our people with fruitless election boycott that leads to nothing please get involved in politics, form a party and govern the South East better than PDP/APC.


This Biafra noise is really getting annoying!

efcc and police makes up evidence at will, wont read much into this


now let the court decide


fayose has demonstrated that he is not a flight risk, so efcc should let him go

anyone boycotting election in South East is voting for Buhari

I still have not seen a dated or believable evidence that Kanu is alive or free

The Israel video and pictures shown. I don't see anything that proves that it is a recent video

The fact as we know it is that Kanu disappeared after the Army invaded his residence. That's still the fact! It has not changed for me.

This guy should just say he wants to be VP

next he will wonder why it was not zoned to Umahi household
