Your Excellency, Mr President ! On this special day, March 29, 2025, I, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu(Ikukuoma) join millions of Nigerians and well-wishers across the globe to celebrate you—a visionary leader, a titan of democracy, and a true father of our nation. As you mark another year of life, I am filled with gratitude for the remarkable journey we share and the unwavering commitment you have shown to the progress of this country Nigeria. Your Excellency, our paths have crossed not merely by chance but by a shared passion for transforming lives and building a Nigeria that works for all. As I stepped into the fold of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest for the governorship of Anambra State, it was your inspiring leadership and the tempo of good governance you initiated that fueled my resolve. Your vision of inclusiveness, where every tribe, ethnicity, and region finds a place in the national discourse, resonates deeply with me. It is a vision I hold dear as I strive to link Anambra to the center and ensure our people reap the dividends of your transformative agenda. I have watched, with profound admiration, how you have weathered storms—from your days as a fearless pro-democracy fighter in NADECO to your stellar tenure as Governor of Lagos State, where you turned a dream into a thriving reality. Today, as President, you carry the hopes of millions with the same tenacity and wisdom that have defined your legacy as the "Jagaban"—the leader of warriors. Your bold steps to reset our nation’s course, taking hard decisions, even in the face of challenges, are a testament to your unyielding spirit, and I am honored to align my aspirations with yours. On this 73rd birthday, I pray that God Almighty grants you renewed strength, boundless wisdom, and good health to continue steering Nigeria toward greatness. May your days be filled with joy, surrounded by the love of your family—your remarkable wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, and your children—and the gratitude of a nation that owes so much to your sacrifices. Your story is one of resilience, and it inspires me daily as I work to contribute my quota to our collective dream. Happy Birthday, Mr. President! May this year bring you even greater victories, and may history forever remember you as the architect of a prosperous Nigeria. With you at the helm, I am confident that our best days are ahead. Yours in service and admiration, Prince (Dr). Nicholas Ukachukwu, (Ikukuoma), Leading APC Gubernatorial Aspirant, Anambra 2025. © Ikukuoma Media Think-Tank Group.

PRINCE DR. NICHOLAS UKACHUKWU (IKUKUOMA): THE SUPERIOR CHOICE TO CHALLENGE SOLUDO IN 2025 In the high-stakes arena of Anambra State’s 2025 governorship election, Prince (Dr). Nicholas Ukachukwu, (Ikukuoma Ndigbo) emerges as a formidable contender to take on incumbent Governor Charles Soludo. As the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) faces off against rising opposition, particularly from the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ukachukwu’s unique blend of business acumen, political experience, and grassroots appeal positions him as the candidate best equipped to unseat Soludo. Here’s why he stands out as the superior option to contest and triumph at the polls. First, Prince Ukachukwu’s track record as a business titan gives him a decisive edge. As the Chairman of SNECOU Group Limited, he has built a conglomerate spanning real estate, oil and gas, construction, and agriculture, creating thousands of jobs and driving economic growth. Unlike Soludo, whose academic and banking background is theoretical and elite-focused, Ukachukwu’s hands-on success in diverse industries demonstrates a practical understanding of wealth creation—crucial for a state needing tangible economic upliftment. His promise to “run Anambra like a business venture” resonates with voters tired of unfulfilled promises, offering a stark contrast to Soludo’s perceived over-reliance on policy papers over action. Second, Ukachukwu’s political tenacity and experience outmatch Soludo’s relatively shorter political journey. Having contested gubernatorial and senatorial races since 1999 across multiple parties—PDP, ANPP, HDP, and now APC—Ukachukwu has built a robust network, strong support base and resilience that Soludo, a political newcomer until his 2021 win, cannot rival. Ukachukwu's victory over Bianca Ojukwu in the 2018 APGA primaries showcased his ability to outmaneuver heavyweights, a skill he could deploy against Soludo. While Soludo leans on APGA’s historical dominance, Ukachukwu’s shift to APC taps into federal backing under President Tinubu, amplifying his electoral firepower. Third, Ukachukwu’s grassroots connection gives him an advantage Soludo struggles to match. His philanthropy—funding education through the British Nigerian Academy and healthcare initiatives—has endeared him to communities across Anambra South and beyond. Soludo’s tenure, marred by controversies like the burial law spat with the Catholic Church and perceived elitism, has alienated some voters. Ukachukwu’s cultural resonance as Ikukuoma Ndigbo, coupled with his pledge to tackle insecurity within three months, addresses the visceral concerns of Ndi Anambra more directly than Soludo’s technocratic approach. Fourth, Ukachukwu’s alignment with APC offers a strategic upper hand. With APGA’s grip weakening—evidenced by its loss of federal representation—and Soludo facing criticism over local government autonomy and security, Ukachukwu can leverage APC’s national machinery and Tinubu’s influence to sway undecided voters. Soludo’s advantage as an incumbent is diminished by his party’s internal rifts and lack of a strong successor to the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah, whom Ukachukwu is poised to replace as APC’s standard-bearer. This federal connection could tip the scales in a tight race. Fifth, Ukachukwu’s bold vision and adaptability outshine Soludo’s faltering promises. Soludo’s “Dubai-Taiwan” rhetoric has yielded little visible progress, with insecurity and poverty persisting despite his economic credentials. Ukachukwu, by contrast, offers a clear, actionable agenda—prioritizing security, infrastructure, and inclusivity—backed by his proven ability to deliver in the private sector. His recent high-profile marriage to Mitchel Ihezue also keeps him in the public eye, enhancing his charisma and relatability compared to Soludo’s more reserved persona. Sixth, Ukachukwu’s ability to turn adversity into opportunity sets him apart. While Soludo has stumbled over public relations missteps—like the Obimma funeral dispute—Ukachukwu has weathered controversies. His audacious call for heightened security during the 2024 festive season signals a proactive stance on law and order, an area where Soludo has been criticized for inaction. Voters seeking decisive leadership may see Ukachukwu as the antidote to Soludo’s perceived complacency. In conclusion, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma) is the better option to contest and defeat Charles Soludo in 2025. His entrepreneurial success, political experience, grassroots appeal, APC backing, clear vision, and resilience form a compelling case. Against Soludo’s incumbency, which rests on a fraying APGA legacy and unfulfilled promises, Ukachukwu represents a dynamic alternative—an industrialist-turned-politician ready to deliver where academia has faltered. For Ndi Anambra yearning for change, Ikukuoma is the lion in the forest poised to roar to victory. We appeal to APC Delegates to support Ikukuoma to fly our Party's flag come April 5th, he will not disappoint us. Ka Ikukuoma Jekene Agu Awka, Oga Eme Ofuma. ©Ikukuoma Media Think-Tank Group.

Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu: The Indomitable Force Anambra Needs in November 2025 As Anambra State gears up for the crucial governorship election in November 2025, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, revered as Ikukuoma Ndigbo, emerges as the indomitable force poised to redefine the state’s future. With a legacy forged through decades of relentless enterprise, political tenacity, and unwavering community service, Ukachukwu stands as a colossus among contenders. His journey—from a determined entrepreneur in Nnewi to a national figure—offers a compelling case for why he is the best choice to lead Anambra into an era of prosperity, security, and unity. Prince Ukachukwu’s precedence in business is a cornerstone of his candidacy. As the Chairman and CEO of SNECOU Group Limited, he has sculpted an empire that spans real estate, oil and gas, construction, agriculture, and education. Since founding the Nicholas Ukachukwu Property Group, he has delivered iconic developments across Abuja, Lagos, and Port Harcourt, transforming urban landscapes and creating thousands of jobs. This hands-on success—unlike the abstract economic theories of others—equips him to tackle Anambra’s pressing need for industrial growth and employment, promising a state where opportunity thrives. His political odyssey, spanning over two decades, underscores an unyielding spirit that sets him apart. Since his first gubernatorial bid in 1999 under the PDP, Ukachukwu has faced giants and weathered storms, contesting across platforms like ANPP, PPA, and APGA before aligning with APC. His 2018 triumph in the APGA primaries for Anambra South Senatorial District—defeating Bianca Ojukwu with 211 votes to her 12—revealed a mastery of grassroots mobilization and strategic foresight. Now, with APC’s federal muscle behind him, he brings a precedence of perseverance that could dismantle APGA’s faltering hold and deliver victory in 2025. Security, a linchpin issue for Anambra, finds a proven warrior in Prince Ukachukwu. His bold request for a security contingent—16 soldiers, 20 policemen, and 12 DSS operatives—during the 2024 festive season to safeguard Osumenyi wasn’t mere posturing; it was a precedent of proactive leadership. Coupled with his pledge to neutralize insecurity within three months of taking office, this action contrasts sharply with the current administration’s struggles against rising violence. Ukachukwu’s resolve signals a governor who will protect Ndi Anambra with both intent and capability. Philanthropy is another arena where his precedence shines. Through the British Nigerian Academy, he has set a benchmark for educational excellence, while his healthcare initiatives—like funding rural clinics—have eased suffering in underserved areas. These efforts, rooted in a personal commitment to upliftment, echo his response to tragedy: after losing his first wife, Nnenna, in 2020, he channeled grief into greater service. His 2023 marriage to Mitchel Ihezue, Miss Universe Nigeria, blends personal triumph with public appeal, reinforcing his stature as a leader who inspires across generations. Prince Ukachukwu’s precedence of resilience elevates him above the fray. From unproven EFCC allegations in 2010 to land disputes with FCT Minister Nyesom Wike in 2024, he has faced adversity head-on, emerging stronger each time. This grit mirrors the Igbo ethos and contrasts with an incumbent administration criticized for public relations blunders and unfulfilled promises. His agenda—prioritizing infrastructure, security, and economic inclusion—builds on his proven delivery, offering a pragmatic antidote to Anambra’s challenges. His cultural heft as Ikukuoma Ndigbo, recognized by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations with an honorary Fellowship in 2024, cements his role as a unifier. Unlike the current leadership’s perceived elitism, Ukachukwu’s deep ties to Anambra South and beyond bridge urban-rural divides. With APC’s national backing under President Tinubu, he wields the resources to outpace APGA’s fraying legacy, turning his precedence of loyalty and adaptability into electoral strength. In November 2025, Anambra demands a governor whose precedence proves his mettle. Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu is that indomitable force—a man who has built empires, defied odds, and served tirelessly. His journey from Nnewi’s dusty streets to Nigeria’s power corridors embodies a promise: a secure, thriving Anambra where every citizen counts. With Ikukuoma at the helm, the state can reclaim its destiny. The time is now to embrace a leader whose past victories herald a triumphant future.

Ikukuoma: The Visionary Leader APC Anambra Needs To Soar Beyond Soludo As Anambra State approaches its next gubernatorial election on November 8, 2025, the call for a transformative leader grows louder. Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, fondly known as Ikukuoma, emerges as a compelling candidate to replace Governor Charles Chukwuma Soludo. With a proven track record in politics, business, and community leadership, Ikukuoma brings a wealth of experience and a vision that aligns with the aspirations of Ndi Anambra. His recent alignment with the All Progressives Congress (APC) signals his intent to bridge Anambra to the national stage, ensuring the state benefits from federal resources and influence. Ikukuoma’s political journey is marked by resilience and consistency. Since 1999, he has been a steadfast figure in Anambra’s political landscape, contesting for senatorial and gubernatorial positions across multiple platforms, including the PDP, ANPP, and HDP, before finding a home in the APC. His persistence reflects a deep commitment to public service, undeterred by setbacks. As the first Igbo man to be elected to serve as Chairman of the Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC) and a former member of the House of Representatives(1999-2003), Ikukuoma has demonstrated an ability to win elections and govern effectively, earning him a reputation as a grassroots mobilizer with a strong political structure. Beyond politics, Ikukuoma’s success as a business mogul sets him apart. His thriving empire showcases his acumen in managing complex enterprises, a skill critical for running a state like Anambra, often dubbed the economic hub of the Southeast. While Soludo’s tenure has leaned heavily on academic theories and economic rhetoric, Ikukuoma promises a pragmatic approach—treating governance like a business. He has pledged to address pressing challenges like insecurity, poverty, and infrastructure decay within his first three months in office, offering tangible results over prolonged promises. Security remains a paramount concern in Anambra, with Soludo’s administration criticized for failing to curb rising violence. Ikukuoma’s campaign emphasizes a fresh, decisive strategy to restore safety, leveraging his experience and connections at the federal level to bolster state security frameworks. His approach contrasts with Soludo’s, which some describe as long on grammar but short on action. Ikukuoma’s promise to make Anambra a place where residents can sleep with both eyes closed resonates with a populace yearning for stability. Ikukuoma’s vision extends to economic revitalization and inclusivity. He aims to align Anambra with President Tinubu’s national agenda, ensuring the state becomes a key player in Nigeria’s economic discourse. His plan to run Anambra like a business includes aggressive investment in infrastructure, job creation, and youth empowerment—areas where Soludo’s efforts have been deemed insufficient by critics. Ikukuoma’s track record as a philanthropist further underscores his commitment to uplifting the marginalized, a stark contrast to the perceived elitism of the current administration. Community endorsement bolsters Ikukuoma’s candidacy. His declaration of intent in Osumenyi, Nnewi South, was met with widespread jubilation, signaling broad acceptance among Anambra’s diverse populace. Political analysts and local leaders, including APC chieftain Francis Okoye, highlight his unmatched political network and grassroots presence as key advantages over Soludo. Prophet Ikechukwu Uzukwu’s prophecy of Ikukuoma as a “man to watch” who will “surprise Ndi Anambra” adds a layer of cultural resonance to his campaign. Unlike Soludo, whose tenure has been marred by controversies, Ikukuoma brings a unifying persona. His ability to navigate complex political terrains—evidenced by his tenure in Abuja—suggests he can mend divides and foster collaboration across religious, ethnic, and political lines. This inclusivity aligns with his promise of a government where every resident, regardless of affiliation, has a stake, contrasting with Soludo’s occasionally divisive policies. In summary, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu (Ikukuoma) offers Anambra a dynamic alternative to Governor Soludo. His blend of political experience, business savvy, and a people-centric vision positions him as the ideal leader to steer Anambra toward prosperity and security. As the April 5th APC Anambra 2025 Guber Primary draws near, we plead with Party Delegates, to support the ikukuoma mandate as he stands poised to deliver on his promise of a better Anambra—linked to the center, free from hardship, and thriving under practical, results-driven governance. Ndi Anambra deserve a governor who acts decisively, and Ikukuoma is that leader.

From Private Sector Triumph To Public Service: Why Prince Dr. Nicholas Ukachukwu’s Proven Success Makes Him The Ideal Choice For Anambra Governor Prince Dr. Nicholas Ukachukwu, fondly known as Ikukuoma Ndigbo stands out as a titan of Nigeria’s private sector, bringing a wealth of experience that could redefine governance in Anambra State if he is elected governor. His remarkable track record as a business mogul offers a refreshing alternative to career politicians, showcasing a results-oriented approach rooted in real-world achievements. For a state like Anambra, celebrated for its entrepreneurial vigor, Ukachukwu’s private-sector expertise promises leadership that delivers tangible progress over empty promises. Ikukuoma’s standout success is epitomized by his leadership of Prince and Princess Abuja, a flourishing real estate empire that has transformed skylines while driving economic growth. This venture has created jobs, spurred infrastructure development, and solidified his reputation as a visionary in property investment across the Federal Capital Territory and beyond. Equally impressive is his footprint in the oil and gas sector through Phil-Tech Oil & Gas Services Ltd, where his strategic acumen has built a robust network fueling economic activity. Beyond these, Ukachukwu has spearheaded other thriving enterprises, including Snecou Group of Companies Ltd, a conglomerate with diverse interests, and Niccus Industries Ltd, a manufacturing powerhouse producing everything from canned juices to sanitary products and employing thousands in Onitsha. His venture Riok International Limited excels in road construction, boreholes, and heavy civil engineering, contributing to infrastructural advancements nationwide. Additionally, GoodHomes Development Company Ltd has delivered mass housing projects like Good Homes Estate and Shalom Villa Estate, addressing Nigeria’s housing deficit with quality and scale. These thriving enterprises reflect his ability to manage complex operations and generate prosperity—skills that could translate seamlessly into revitalizing Anambra’s economy. What sets Ikukuoma apart is his proven "address" in the private sector, a stark contrast to politicians whose only resume is politics. His exploits in these companies have not only created wealth but also uplifted communities. For instance, his pioneering role as Abuja’s first estate developer through partnerships with the federal government resulted in thousands of housing units, while Niccus Industries has tackled unemployment by providing over 6,000 direct and indirect jobs. His oil and gas advocacy secured oil wells for Ndi-Igbo, amplifying regional economic influence. If entrusted with the governorship, Ikukuoma’s private-sector prowess could usher in a new era for Anambra. His history of turning bold ideas into thriving realities—evident in the nationwide impact of Snecou Group and the infrastructural legacy of Riok International—suggests he could attract investment, empower entrepreneurs, and tackle pressing challenges like security and environmental sustainability with pragmatic solutions. This is a leader who has already proven he can deliver, not just promise—a quality that resonates with Anambra’s industrious spirit. For Ndi Anambra, voting for Ukachukwu means backing a governor whose success in business equips him to steer the state toward prosperity, distinguishing him from those whose only claim is political maneuvering. His blend of entrepreneurial achievement and leadership potential makes him the compelling choice to elevate Anambra’s future.

Ikukuoma 2025: Education As A Cornerstone Education is the bedrock of progress, and Prince Dr. Nicholas Ukachukwu, MFR, has made it his mission. Founding the British Nigeria Academy and the European University of Nigeria, he has elevated educational standards and provided opportunities for countless youths. Compare this to Governor Soludo’s tenure, where educational reform remains more promise than action. Ukachukwu’s commitment to human capital development—through scholarships, skill acquisition programs, and free education initiatives—offers Anambra a future where every child thrives. His honorary doctorate from Tansian University (2016) reflects his intellectual foundation, making him the education-focused governor Anambra desperately needs. “Anambra ga-adi mma ozo, ma Ikukuoma dube anyi ” Source: https://www.factreporters.com.ng/2025/03/ikukuoma-2025-education-as-cornerstone.html

The tour, a detailed exploration of the governor’s developmental strides in company of select Anambra State Veteran journalists, spotlighted groundbreaking projects in Onitsha and Okpoko, earning resounding praise from residents, stakeholders, and prominent figures. A key highlight was the reclamation of the Okpoko refuse dumpsite, once a notorious blight, now reimagined as a stunning water fountain. This bold transformation reflects Soludo’s vision of turning environmental liabilities into civic assets, leaving onlookers in awe of his ingenuity. The tour also celebrated over 100 kilometers of roads constructed in Onitsha, a monumental effort to address the city’s chronic infrastructure challenges. A visit to the ultramodern market built for Onitsha’s roadside market women revealed the profound human impact of Soludo’s policies. Designed to relocate traders from precarious roadside conditions into a dignified, state-of-the-art facility, the market boasts modern amenities, including ultramodern toilet facilities and solar-powered lights. These features not only enhance functionality but also underscore the administration’s commitment to sustainability and comfort. The market women, visibly elated, showered prayers and blessings on the governor, invoking divine favor for his second-term bid. “Governor Soludo has given us a new lease on life,” one trader exclaimed. “May God grant him strength to continue this great work.” The tour also included a stop at the business premises of High Chief Ogonna Olisa (Ohamadike), an APGA stakeholder from Oraukwu and owner of fleets of shops in Onitsha. High Chief Olisa expressed profound satisfaction with Soludo’s exploits, particularly in infrastructure and governance. “I no longer mind paying millions of naira in taxes,” he affirmed. “Now, I see my tax working for me and my society.” He called on Anambra residents to remain law-abiding and support the administration’s tax initiatives, aligning with Soludo’s ambitious drive to transform Anambra into a “Dubai-Taiwan”—a fusion of economic dynamism and urban excellence. Adding a touch of celebrity flair to the tour was Nollywood sensation Uwaezuoke, whose presence amplified the narrative of change. Recalling his past struggles in Onitsha, Uwaezuoke shared a poignant memory of losing one of his prized cars to submersion caused by bad roads and waterlogging. “Onitsha was a nightmare then,” he said. “But Soludo has rewritten the story. This is now a model city with an ultramodern outlook.” His testimony highlighted the dramatic shift in Onitsha’s identity under Soludo’s leadership. The Day 3 tour painted a compelling portrait of an administration determined to redefine Anambra’s future. From refuse dumps transformed into fountains to roads and markets equipped with ultramodern toilet facilities and solar lights, Governor Soludo’s three-year legacy is leaving an indelible mark. As Hon. Chuks Kamen aptly noted, “This is a government that delivers, and we must all rally behind it.” With voices of approval ringing out from market women to Nollywood stars, Soludo’s footprints are proving both impactful and enduring, setting the stage for a legacy of progress in Anambra State.

A Treatise on Expanding Real Estate to Anambra State: An Igbo Entrepreneur’s Golden Opportunity Beyond Lagos and Abuja Nigeria’s real estate sector is a crucible of opportunity, fueled by a population exceeding 200 million and an urbanization rate of 4.3% annually (World Bank, 2023). Lagos and Abuja have long been the lodestars of this industry, drawing investors with their towering skylines and promise of high returns. Yet, for an Igbo real estate entrepreneur, confining one’s ambitions to these saturated markets risks missing a richer vein of potential. Anambra State, in the heart of Southeast Nigeria, emerges as a strategic jewel—a region where cultural affinity, economic momentum, and untapped demand converge to outshine the crowded prospects of Lagos and Abuja. This treatise argues that expanding to Anambra offers superior advantages, grounded in data, market dynamics, and the Igbo entrepreneurial ethos...+2348065824475....click on link to read more https://www.factreporters.com.ng/2025/03/a-treatise-on-expanding-real-estate-to.html

By our correspondent Awka A central claim in the kidnapping saga of Benjamin Izuchukwu Ezeama, alias Big Ben, has asserted that he was abducted directly from Ozo Jeff Nweke’s office. However, emerging evidence challenges this narrative, casting doubt on the accusations leveled against Nweke. Sources close to the investigation reveal that Ezeama met with Nweke on the day of the incident for a discussion, the purpose of which remains undisclosed but was unrelated to any financial disputes or loans. Following their meeting, Ezeama left Nweke’s office and returned to Maxbe Hotel, where he was staying. It was later that day, at the hotel, that the kidnapping took place, according to witness accounts and preliminary reports. This timeline directly contradicts earlier publications alleging the abduction occurred at Nweke’s premises, calling their accuracy into question. The discrepancy carries significant weight for Nweke’s alleged involvement. If Ezeama was taken from the hotel rather than Nweke’s office, it shifts suspicion away from Nweke. “The facts don’t support the story being circulated,” said a local business owner familiar with both individuals. “Ezeama left the meeting unharmed—how could Nweke be behind it?” Nweke’s legal team has emphasized this point, arguing that the misleading narrative is part of a calculated attempt to damage his reputation. They highlight that Ezeama and Nweke, acquaintances since 2019, shared a cordial business relationship, further undermining the notion of an office-based abduction. Investigators have not yet disputed this sequence of events, leaving the original claim unsupported. For Awka residents tracking the case, the evidence points to Maxbe Hotel—not Nweke’s office—as the crime scene, a detail that significantly weakens any case tying Nweke to the incident.

By O'star Eze March 08, 2025 | Anambra State, Nigeria Leaders of Ubah Nation Media and the Ubah Political Family, under the stewardship of Hon. Kamen Chuks O., were left in awe during the second day of their inspection tour of Governor Chukwuma Charles Soludo’s achievements in Anambra State. The highlight of the day came unexpectedly when the delegation bumped into the governor himself at the site of the new Government House—a sprawling project over 80 percent complete and touted as a mini-city in the making. The encounter turned into a moment of celebration as Governor Soludo, visibly elated, welcomed the group and engaged them on his administration’s strides over the past three years. Nollywood icon Uwaezuoke, a prominent member of the delegation, stole the spotlight with his candid praise. “Mr. Governor, I was wrong about you all this while,” he confessed. “You are, without doubt, the best governor Anambra has ever had.” His humorous quip—“If you do all these things in Anambra State, which one will subsequent governors do?”—triggered an eruption of laughter, reflecting the delegation’s astonishment at the scale of Soludo’s projects. Kamen Chuks: Soludo is Unbeatable Hon. Kamen Chuks O., a key political figure, doubled down on his support for the governor, describing him as “unbeatable in capacity and exploit.” Chuks predicted a landslide victory for Soludo in his anticipated second-term bid, hinting at a potential alliance between his Ubah Political Family and the “Solution Government.” Echoing the mantra of their late founder—“Gosimkamfunanya” (recognizing good deeds)—he stated, “We came to see for ourselves, and we are convinced. Soludo is doing awesome.” Soludo Unveils Ambitious Projects Addressing the delegation, Governor Soludo outlined key projects nearing completion under his watch. He pointed to the twin torchlight symbol towers in Ekwulobia and Awka, dual carriageways on high-traffic roads, and a network of flyovers and connecting roads aimed at decongesting urban centers like Aroma while linking hinterlands to cities, sanitising the system of get rich quick syndrome and all its enablers like scam witch doctors who engage in bestiality in the name of making potent charms and pastors who sell placebos and disturb the peace. The new Government House, he emphasized, symbolizes his vision to transform Anambra into a “Dubai-Taiwan” hub of modernity and efficiency. However, Soludo didn’t shy away from addressing challenges. He singled out Ihiala, where he said government presence remains limited due to locals’ reluctance to cooperate in flushing out kidnappers from their forests. “Some are aiding and abetting these criminals,” he lamented, urging Ihiala residents to partner with the government. “We want to rescue you and bring you into the Solution Movement to Dubai-Taiwan status.” A Mini-City Rises The new Government House left the delegation speechless. With its modern design and expansive layout, the project stands as a testament to Soludo’s transformative agenda. Over 80 percent complete, it promises to redefine the state’s administrative landscape and serve as a beacon of progress. A Boost for Soludo’s Legacy The inspection tour, now in its second day, has bolstered Governor Soludo’s reputation as a results-driven leader. With endorsements from influential figures like Kamen Chuks and Uwaezuoke, and tangible evidence of his administration’s impact, Soludo’s “Solution Movement” appears to be gaining unstoppable momentum. As Anambra looks ahead, the question on everyone’s mind—borrowing Uwaezuoke’s words—might just be: What’s left for future governors to achieve?

Enugwu Agidi, Anambra State – The Enugwu Agidi community in Anambra State has emerged as a shining example of grassroots development, thanks to the transformative leadership of its President General, Honourable Ebuka Onuorah. Since taking the helm, Honourable Onuorah has spearheaded initiatives that have significantly enhanced security, infrastructure, youth empowerment, and social welfare, earning him widespread acclaim and positioning Enugwu Agidi as a beacon of hope and progress in the region. Infrastructure Development: Transforming the Community Landscape Honourable Onuorah has made infrastructure development a cornerstone of his administration, overseeing projects that have reshaped Enugwu Agidi and improved the quality of life for its residents. A flagship project under his leadership is the renovation of the Enugwu Agidi Town Hall, now transformed into a modern hub for community events and activities. This development has not only provided a space for social gatherings but also symbolizes the community’s commitment to modernity and unity. Additionally, the completion of Ultra Modern Hall One at the Enugwu Agidi Secretariat marks another milestone in his infrastructure agenda. The ongoing rebuilding and roofing of the Community Secondary School Enugwu Agidi (formerly Enugwu Agidi Girls Secondary School) further demonstrates his focus on educational infrastructure, ensuring that students have access to conducive learning environments. Honourable Onuorah has also facilitated the provision of essential amenities, including electricity and water supply, addressing long-standing needs in the community. A notable intervention by the Enugwu Agidi National Executive Council (EBU NEC), under his leadership, addressed a natural disaster that damaged six to seven electric poles, averting a potential months-long blackout. His administration also settled electricity bills for market women and men at Eke Enugwu Agidi, ensuring uninterrupted access to power. Furthermore, the lighting of Eke (Uno) Market has enhanced safety and extended business hours for traders, boosting the local economy. Enhancing Security: A Safer Enugwu Agidi Security has been a top priority for Honourable Onuorah, who has taken bold steps to protect the community from crime and lawlessness. One of his significant achievements is the modification of the Enugwu Agidi vigilante group, which has been instrumental in maintaining law and order. Under his leadership, the group has successfully apprehended and remanded approximately 12 criminals in prison, including the notorious motorcycle thief known as “Papa,” bringing relief to residents. In a further demonstration of his commitment to upholding the law, Honourable Onuorah filed a petition in April 2024 against Chukwudi Tansi, accusing him of unlawful possession of firearms, cultism, and issuing threats to life. This decisive action underscores his dedication to ensuring the safety and security of Enugwu Agidi’s residents. Additionally, the installation of CCTV cameras at strategic locations across the community has enhanced surveillance and deterrence, further strengthening the security framework. Youth Empowerment: Building a Future for the Next Generation Recognizing the importance of equipping young people with the tools to succeed, Honourable Onuorah has prioritized youth empowerment. The Enugwu Agidi Youth Empowerment Program, a flagship initiative, offers training in entrepreneurship, vocational skills, and leadership development. This program has been widely praised for providing young people with the skills and resources needed to thrive in a competitive world, fostering a sense of purpose and self-reliance among the youth. In a remarkable show of support for education, Honourable Onuorah has sponsored the payment of WAEC, NECO, and JAMB fees for over 120 students from Enugwu Agidi, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder their academic progress. This initiative has opened doors for many young people to pursue higher education and achieve their dreams, earning him gratitude from families across the community. Social Welfare: A Leader Who Cares Honourable Onuorah’s commitment to the welfare of his community is evident in his efforts to support the most vulnerable. He has personally paid hospital bills for at least 40 indigenes of Enugwu Agidi, providing critical support to families facing medical emergencies. Additionally, his administration has attracted developmental projects, including the construction of a modern healthcare facility, which has improved access to quality healthcare for residents. The renovation of schools, alongside the provision of electricity and water supply, has further enhanced living standards, demonstrating Honourable Onuorah’s ability to leverage resources and partnerships to drive development. His inclusive leadership style has fostered unity and cooperation, encouraging community members to actively participate in decision-making processes and work together towards a common goal. Recognition and Legacy Honourable Ebuka Onuorah’s exemplary leadership has not gone unnoticed. He has received accolades from various quarters for his dedication to security, infrastructure development, youth empowerment, and social welfare. His leadership paradigm serves as a model for community development, showing how visionary leadership, combined with community participation, can yield transformative results. Conclusion Under Honourable Ebuka Onuorah’s stewardship, Enugwu Agidi has become a testament to the power of effective leadership in driving community development. From infrastructure projects like the renovated town hall and modern healthcare facility to youth empowerment initiatives and enhanced security measures, his administration has touched every aspect of life in Enugwu Agidi. As the community continues to thrive, Honourable Onuorah’s legacy as a leader who prioritizes the welfare and progress of his people will undoubtedly inspire others across Anambra State and beyond.

No Evidence Links Ozo Jeff Nweke to Big Ben Kidnapping, Security Agencies Silent By O'star Eze (Editor: factreporters.com.ng) The kidnapping of Benjamin Izuchukwu Ezeama, widely known as Big Ben, has sparked a flurry of accusations against Ozo Jeff Nweke, with some labeling him the mastermind behind the crime. Yet, a critical detail undermines these claims: no security agency has formally indicted Nweke in connection with the abduction. The Department of State Services (DSS), which is leading the investigation, has remained tight-lipped, issuing no official statements implicating Nweke or confirming the existence of CCTV footage allegedly tying him to the incident. This silence from law enforcement stands in stark contrast to the sensational reports circulating in certain publications. Legal experts argue that without an indictment or concrete evidence from credible authorities, the accusations against Nweke lack substance. “In a case this serious, you’d expect swift action if there were proof,” said Barrister Emeka Okoli, a local legal analyst. “The absence of charges suggests these claims are speculative at best.” The lack of official corroboration has fueled skepticism among Awka residents, many of whom see the accusations as a potential smear campaign. Nweke, a prominent figure in the community, has denied any involvement, calling the allegations baseless. His supporters point to his clean record with security agencies as evidence of his innocence. Meanwhile, the DSS’s reticence has left the public grappling with conflicting narratives. Rumors of CCTV footage showing Ezeama entering Nweke’s office have gained traction, but without confirmation from investigators, they remain unverified. Until the DSS breaks its silence, the case against Nweke appears to rest on shaky ground. Observers urge caution in jumping to conclusions, emphasizing the need for patience until official findings are released. For now, the absence of an indictment from security agencies remains a significant hurdle for those seeking to pin the kidnapping on Ozo Jeff Nweke.

February 27, 2025 | Anambra, Nigeria By O’star Eze (Editor: factreporters.com.ng) In a vibrant display of grassroots political mobilization, the Solution Vanguard—a support group of local government workers and retirees—officially launched in Anambra State, pledging to secure a second term for Governor Chukwuma Soludo. The inauguration, held recently, brought together key political figures, active and retired local government employees, and members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) to rally behind what they call the “Soludo Agenda.” The event’s highpoints included the formal inauguration of the state group by Barrister Vin Ifeanyichukwu Ezeaka, Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission and convener of Solution Vanguard, and the appointment of Hon. Azubuike Okoye, Commissioner 1 of the commission, as the National Coordinator. Okoye, in turn, swore in the state executive members, setting the stage for an ambitious campaign. The unveiling of car stickers bearing the group’s slogan—“Solution Vanguard: Solution is Here; Soludo for Second Tenure”—underscored their readiness to spread the governor’s message to every corner of Anambra. Alex Obiogbolu, Special Adviser to the Governor on Political Matters and a former Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission, delivered a nostalgic yet forward-looking address. Calling the commission his “alma mater,” he recalled recruiting 3,615 workers against significant challenges during his tenure. He commended the commission’s progress and hailed the Vanguard’s formation as a strategic move to bolster Soludo’s re-election. “Over 70 percent of local government workers live in the communities,” Obiogbolu noted, underscoring their potential to sway rural voters. Following Obiogbolu, Barrister Vin Ifeanyichukwu Ezeaka, Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission and convener of Solution Vanguard, took the stage to formally inaugurate the group. His leadership in establishing the Vanguard reflects a commitment to mobilizing local government workers—both active and retired—as a driving force behind Soludo’s re-election bid, setting the tone for the group’s grassroots efforts. At the heart of the event was Hon. Azubuike Okoye, the newly appointed National Coordinator, whose political credentials lent weight to the Vanguard’s mission. Tracing his journey from President General of Agulu—the largest community in Aniocha Local Government—to his time in the House of Assembly and as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the United Anambra Youths Association (U-AYA), Okoye recounted his role in Soludo’s initial rise. As state youth coordinator, he mobilized teams across all 21 local governments, preaching the “Solution gospel” that propelled Soludo to the governorship. Now, alongside Ezeaka, he has spearheaded the creation of Soludo Vanguard, a volunteer-driven effort to enlighten grassroots voters. Each worker, Okoye revealed, is tasked with mobilizing 20 voters—a grassroots strategy aimed at overwhelming electoral support. In her acceptance speech as State Coordinator, Honourable Barrister Mrs. Anthonia Tabansi Okoye expressed gratitude to the leadership for entrusting them with this role. She praised the organizing committee’s competence and urged them to sustain their momentum in delivering Soludo’s re-election. “Before now, local government workers were relegated to the background,” she remarked. “We are here to prove everyone wrong and redefine our status in the state, improving our bargaining power in the grand scheme of things.” She highlighted the initiative as a turning point for local government employees, long overlooked in the state’s political landscape. The APGA State Secretary, Hon. Engr. Levi Obiaudo echoed this sentiment, describing Solution Vanguard as “the real support group” poised to influence their circles and ensure a landslide victory. “Your efforts will be ably rewarded,” he assured the attendees, emphasizing the party’s confidence in the group’s grassroots reach. The group’s formation reflects a broader narrative of transformation within the Local Government Service Commission and among its workers, both active and retired, who have made themselves available for Soludo’s cause. Their enthusiasm stems from what they describe as the governor’s commendable leadership, which they believe merits another term—and potentially a national stage thereafter. As Solution Vanguard hits the ground running, their message is clear: “Solution is here.” With car stickers ready and a network of committed workers in place, the group aims to redefine the role of local government employees in Anambra’s political future, one voter at a time.

By O'star Eze Twenty-five years ago, the Children of the Farmers Club (CFC) presented the AgroTechnoCraft Village Model to the Nigerian government as a solution to Africa's socio-economic problems. The model won the 1999/2000 Commonwealth Africa Regional Youth Service Award, which was received by then-President Olusegun Obasanjo. Despite promises to implement the model, it remains unadopted. Nigeria was meant to be the flagship country for the model's implementation before its expansion to the rest of Africa. In an interview with O'star Eze, the founder and president of the CFC, Comrade Christopher Ndubisi Okwuosa, expressed frustration at the government's inaction. Okwuosa explained that the AgroTechnoCraft model promotes agriculture, indigenous technology, and craftsmanship, aiming to create a production-based economy where every individual contributes optimally. He emphasized that the model would address unemployment, youth restiveness, and crime by providing gainful employment and skills training. Okwuosa called on former President Obasanjo to present the model to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for consideration and implementation. The CFC is looking forward to sitting with Olusegun Obasanjo and the Federal Government to discuss the details of the model and how it can be implemented in light of present-day realities. This collaborative effort aims to revitalize the model and tailor it to Nigeria's current socio-economic needs. The CFC urges the Anambra State Government, the Federal Government, the private sector, and the Commonwealth to adopt and implement the AgroTechnoCraft Village Model to achieve a self-sustaining, production-based economy.

Who is Honourable Ebuka Onuorah? A lot of aspersions have been cast against the current duly elected performing President General of Enugwu Agidi Community, Honourable Ebuka Onuorah, since the recent arrest of a kidnap suspect from the community by the Agunechemba Joint Task Force, namely, Chukwudi Tansi. It has been a clear case of 'if you cannot get the ball target the leg' propaganda style by his detractors who, while confessing that the PG had been making headway in the fight against criminality in the community as well as in other aspects of his administration as PG, still could not stop themselves from attempting to discredit the PG's personality. For the sake of those who are not prejudiced but are truly interested in deciphering the facts from the fictional tales of propaganda being smeared all over the social media by these detractors, we use this medium to introduce Enugwu Agidi PG as succinctly as possible so that their minds can be disabused from these smear campaigns. They will then see the reality for what it is and not what it seems to be. Honourable Onuorah came from a humble background and therefore did not have the luxury of furthering his education. He however went for apprenticeship and after he was settled, put in the work and with prayers and because of his tendency to look out for the good of others, built himself a thriving business empire, namely, Daco Group. Honourable Onuorah is a successful business man, a real estate developer of immense breakthroughs and security agency administrator in his 40s who has blazed the trail in the industry, having executed many private and government owned buildings. He has operated these outfits successfully for over a decade now and has recorded successes. His company, Daco Group which has Davy Luxury Homes Ltd as its subsidiary is a tax paying outfit that has been carrying out its businesses by the book. It will take an entire book to explore in details the inspiring story of Honourable Onuorah. From youth empowerment, improvement of the security of Enugwu Agidi community in spite of the compromising actions of some of the power brokers of the community who are obviously aiding and abetting criminality in the community, to infrastructural development. The list continues. The truth remains that the man, Honourable Onuorah has been a gift to the people of Enugwu Agidi and beyond. His achievements as PG are legion as many keep wondering if he has stayed 10 years in office. He is a man of great vision who has brought Enugwu Agidi to the international front burner in modern community town union leadership. He has also explained that it was since the kingpin, Chukwudi Tansi, was released without investigation by the traditional ruler of the community and since the several threats from the same person and his cohorts that he had to resort to paying for security details against his wish. So, there you have it. The truth is simple, it is only mischievous lies that are woven to be complex in order to confuse the gullible. - Media Frontiers for Hon. Ebuka Onuorah Source: https://www.factreporters.com.ng/2025/02/who-is-honourable-ebuka-onuorah.html

Is Igwe Okekeuche of Enugwu-Agidi a serial liar...? ...When a village denies her monarch It is no longer news that the traditional ruler of Enugwu Agidi recanted the allegation by the President General of Enugwu Agidi that Chukwudi Tansi was never part of the Vigilante Group. The Igwe rather claimed that Tansi was chosen by his village, Anaofia-Etiti, to represent them in the 20 man Vigilante of Enugwu-Agidi. The news now which has caught everyone unawares is that Anaofia-Etiti Welfare Association, the formal organisation holding together Anaofia-Etiti village has written formally to declare that the said claims by the Igwe through his Chief Press Secretary is a 'false narrative.' The written rebuttal signed by Ozo Nonso Ifebunso, chairman of the group and its secretary Mr Chinedu Mmuo Ututu, the secretary, read thus; "This is to inform the general public especially the good people of Enugwu-Agidi that Chukwudi Tansi was never at any given time nominated/appointed a representative of Anaofia-Etiti in the composition of the Enugwu-Agidi vigilante group. "This notification became necessary following a false narrative by the Chief Press Secretary to Igwe Mike Okekeuche, Ichie Ifeanyi Ndulue on the 4th day of February 2025 that Anaofia-Etiti people "screened and nominated "Chukwudi Tansi" her representative in the twenty man vigilante group for Enugwu-Agidi. "His appointment/nomination was solely done by Igwe Mike Okekeuche (Okpalariam III) without recourse to the good people of Anaofia-Etiti Enugwu-Agidi." The question on the minds of every concerned person is this; "Is Igwe Okekeuche of Enugwu-Agidi a serial liar?" Is Igwe Enugwu Agidi now a serial liar in defense of an alleged kidnapper ? https://www.factreporters.com.ng/2025/02/is-igwe-okekeuche-of-enugwu-agidi.html

As the controversy rages over the denial of *Igwe Michael Okekeuche (the Okpalariam III)* of *Enugwu Agidi* that he does not have any personal knowledge or link with *Chukwudi Tansi* , an alleged *kidnap kingpin* from *Enugwu Agidi* who he personally nominated as member and designated *Commander of Enugwu Agidi Community Central Vigilante Group* Recall that several news outlets including *Arise Television* had reported that as at *12:15 am* on *30th January 2025* . troops carried out raid operations based on credible intelligence to a kidnapper’s hideout/armoury location at Enugwu Agidi, Njikoka LGA One *Mr Chukwudi Tansi* , a member of a suspected kidnapping syndicate was apprehended. Items recovered include : *2 AK 47 rifles, 8 pump action guns,4 foreign made pistols, 3 packets of cartridges (101 cartridges),4 empty magazines of AK 47 rifles. 3 cutlasses, one Baofeng radio, one motorcycle and some charms.* This was not the first time; the said kidnap suspect would have *brush* with the *law* . He was arrested sometime in *April 2024* based on petition written by the President General of the town dated *April 4, 2014* accusing him of *illegal possession of fire arms, threat to life and sundry criminal activities. It was alleged that the Igwe* with some *members* of his *cabinet* went to the *police* in Abuja to secure his *bail* and also claimed that the *guns* recovered from him were issued to him as the *head of the Palace Guard. The existence of Palace Guards are not known to the Town Union Government. Upon regaining his freedom, the said *Chukwuma Tansi* became more notorious , more emboldened and continued with his underworld activities which included kidnapping and masterminding attacks on police stations and defrocking killed officers of their rifles. Despite all the red flags on the suspect, *Igwe Michael Okekeuche* in a letter referenced *HRH/1/MCO/LOV/086/24/6/2024 dated 24/06/2024* nominated the said suspect as a member of Enugwu Central Vigilante Group and recommended him as the *Commander* . This move was flatly rejected by the *President General* who insisted that the *Igwe* is literally handing over the community to *known criminals* . The tension between the *Igwe* and *President General* has persisted since then, leaving the community without organised security group. In the war of words between the *Igwe* and the *PG* on the current arrest and harvest of *fire arms* from the suspect, and following the *Igwe’s* denial of the suspect, the *PG Honourable David Chukwuebuka Onuorah* had said the *Igwe* was being *economical* with the truth and that his connection with the suspect require deeper *investigation* as according to him the suspect is not a lone wolf. He has internal and external collaborators and powerful protectors. Daily News Report has reported that the *Igwe* denied knowledge of the suspect whom he now referred to as a *guard* to the *President General* . The *Igwe* in a Press Statement issued through his Palace Secretary *Mr Ifeanyi Ndulue* accused the *PG* of disparaging his name because of their political differences. He said the damage that had been done as a result of the *PGs* allegations against him was unquantifiable. On his part, *Hon Ebuka Onuorah, the PG* said the *Igwe* must have serious amnesia to be lying carelessly when the *facts* are there and on plain sights. *Amnesia* refers to the loss of memories, including facts, information and experiences. A report by Facts News Report quoted the *PG* as saying: _“The records of my petition to the Police IGP against the suspect are there. The record of the IGP approval directing for the investigation of the suspect are there. The findings of the police who arrested him in April and detained him in Abuja are there. The circumstances under which he was granted bail by the police and who stood as his surety are all there, including the letter of the Igwe nominating the suspect as a member and head of Enugwu Agidi Central Vigilante are there, likewise his objection of the inclusion of the suspect as a member of Vigilante addressed to the Commissioner of Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs are there_ to reconfirm who are the protectors of the suspect and his collaborators. The records of proceedings with both the Anambra State Commissioner of Local Governments and Chieftaincy Affairs, Special Adviser to the Governor on Security and the Transition Chairman Njikoka LGA in 2024 can be subpoenaed. The PG threatened to sue the *Igwe* and his *palace secretary* for defamation of character if he did not tender retraction of his statement and tender an unreserved apology within 4 days for referring the suspect as being in his employment as a *personal security guard and also being the one that bailed him from the police in Abuja. *“This is for the record and to remind the morally-flexible that at some point in our life, we must accept responsibility for our poor judgements, and actions, and speak the truth no matter how inconvenient.* source: https://www.factreporters.com.ng/2025/02/you-are-liar-president-general-tells.html

Activist raises the alarm over spate of missing people in Anambra, tasks FG to work By Joe Chukindi A human rights activist, Comrade Osita Obi has cried out over the spate of missing people in Anambra State. The activist who addressed a press conference in Awka said it is becoming almost normal for people to mysteriously disappear in Anambra with no trace, while life continues as if nothing has happened. He said besides persons who have fallen victim to kidnappers and who were never found, there have been three prominent individuals in the state, who have remained missing, and nothing was being done to trace them. He mentioned prominent businessman, Mr Benjamin Ezemma, House of Assembly member, Hon Justice Azuka and candidate of Labour Party in the Anambra 2021 governorship election, Mr Obiora Agbasimalo, all of who went missing at various times, and have not been seen afterwards. Obi said: "I am more particular about the sudden disappearance of Mr Benjamin Ezemma, who is also the Vice Chairman of Dubai Estate, and also known as Big Ben. He disappeared on November 12 and has not been seen since then. "We are here to encourage government to find Ben Ezemma. It is Ben today, it may be any one of us tomorrow. We know that government has the capacity to find this man. What is the federal government doing about this? "We all did SIM registration, NIN registration and others, what is the use of such data which we left with the federal government, can't they use it to find missing people like Ben? "We are urging police, DSS, NSA and other security to find this man. We are expecting that the authorities would have swung into action, without waiting for people like us to report the incident to them. "Let these security agencies use the facilities available to them to track down his kidnappers. Even if it entails to monitor the call log of Ben through his service providers, we can use it to know the kind of person Ben was, and what he has been into and who he has been having dealings with." The activist revealed that some people who are suspected to have had dealings with the missing businessman have been dragged to court. He begged journalists to show interest in the matter and report it to the world, so that it would not be swept under the carpet. While expressing happiness about the level of commitment the Department of State Services (DSS) in Anambra State has shown in the matter, he condemned the state police command for what he called glaring incompetence. He said: "I'm not happy with police performance in this matter. Anambra should not be a dumping ground for police officers who are due for retirement, who just come here to make money. If this continues, we may have no option than to protest it." Source: https://www.factreporters.com.ng/2025/02/activist-raises-alarm-over-spate-of.html

Enugwu Agidi Imbroglio: Who is Protecting Chukwudi Tansi? The people of Enugwu Agidi are asking a pressing question: What is stopping the Nigeria Police and the Agunechemba Joint Task Force from properly investigating the kidnap allegations against the recently arrested Chukwudi Tansi? This is not the first time Tansi has found himself in the hands of law enforcement. Reports indicate that last year, he was detained in Abuja over similar allegations, yet he was mysteriously released after the intervention of none other than Igwe Enugwu Agidi. Now, with his re-arrest, the people are demanding to know—what exactly is the nature of the connection between the traditional ruler and the suspected kidnapper? For too long, powerful moneybags have operated above the law, shielding known criminals from justice while the innocent citizens of Enugwu Agidi live in fear. How much longer will the community endure this stranglehold? Will the security agencies finally rise to the occasion and do their job without fear or favor? Justice delayed is justice denied. The people of Enugwu Agidi deserve answers. More importantly, they deserve security, peace, and an end to the reign of impunity.

Enugwu Agidi PG Reacts To Smear Campaign by Detractors The recent attempt to defame the character of the PG of Enugwu-Agidi, Hon Ebuka Onuorah, is nothing short of a desperate smear campaign fueled by personal vendettas and power struggles. While the arrest of Mr. Chukwudi Tansi is a serious matter, the attempt to divert attention from the real issues by attacking the PG is both misleading and irresponsible. Since assuming office in December 2022, Hon Ebuka Onuorah has worked tirelessly to improve security, governance, and community development in Enugwu-Agidi. His efforts to restore law and order have made enemies among individuals with vested interests, particularly those who thrive on disorder and lawlessness. The accusation that he is involved in land grabbing is not only baseless but absurd. If anything, his administration has actively fought against the illegal sale of communal lands, ensuring that vulnerable citizens, including widows and indigents, are protected. The Arrest of Chukwudi Tansi Is A Matter for Law Enforcement!!!!!! The display of weapons recovered from Mr. Tansi’s residence is undeniable evidence of criminal activity. The attempts to shift blame away from him and onto the PG show a clear attempt to shield criminals from justice. Mr. Tansi’s past relationship with the PG as a former security guard does not absolve him of responsibility. If he is engaged in criminal activities, he must face the law. Instead of focusing on the gravity of the situation, some individuals have chosen to fabricate conspiracy theories aimed at tarnishing the image of PG Hon Ebuka Onuorah. Their claims lack evidence and are driven by personal grudges, not facts. Your accusations against Hon Ebuka Onuorah are nothing more than a calculated effort to discredit his leadership. Claims that he has never held employment, that he lacks educational qualifications, or that he was “imposed” on the community are outright falsehoods designed to manipulate public opinion. His leadership of Enugwu-Agidi Brotherly Union (EBU-Nigeria) was a democratic process, and despite resistance from some factions, he remains committed to serving the people. The repeated claims about lawsuits and allegations of violence are unsubstantiated and politically motivated. Why are some people so desperate to link PG Hon Ebuka Onuorah to crime? The answer is simple for his leadership stands in the way of those who want to continue exploiting Enugwu-Agidi. He has exposed corruption, fought against illegal activities, and sought to maintain peace in the community. Those who benefited from past disorder now see him as a threat. The PG Deserves Support, Not Baseless Accusations Enugwu-Agidi deserves strong and honest leadership, and that is what PG Hon Ebuka Onuorah has provided. The attempts to tarnish his name are distractions from the real issues of insecurity and crime. Instead of spreading falsehoods, the focus should be on ensuring justice for the victims of crime in our community. The people of Enugwu-Agidi must not fall for these baseless allegations. We must stand united against crime and against those who seek to destabilize our town for their selfish interests.

Igwe Enugwu Agidi's connection with kidnap suspect should be investigated - PG Following the recent arrest of an alleged criminal, Mr Chukwudi Tansi, at Enugwu Agidi by the Joint Task Force of Agunechemba on January 30th, the President General of Enugwu Agidi, Hon. Chukwuebuka David Onuorah has raised alarm that there was need for the state government to properly investigate the suspect and his connection with the Traditional Ruler of Enugwu Agidi, Igwe Mike Okekeuche. Speaking during a recent press conference in Awka Anambra State, the PG revealed that as at April 4, 2024, he had written a petition against the kidnap suspect, Chukwudi Tansi, to the Inspector General of Police, stating categorically that he was a security threat to Enugwu Agidi community and should be investigated. The police approved the petition on April 17th and Chukwudi Tansi was arrested. He was found with 6 unregistered pump action rifles at the time of his arrest and he was taken to Abuja for further investigations. It was revealed that the monarch of his community, in collaboration with some money bags in the community connived and got Tansi released without proper investigation and prosecution. Hon Onuorah said that the Igwe allegedly claimed that the suspect was one of his palace guards and thereby got him freed. "This Chukwudi Tansi has been a terror to our community Enugwu Agidi and to myself personally. The Igwe has been using him to threaten my life on several occasions. There was even a time when a certain kidnap victim confessed that he was kept in a kidnappers' den which was operated by this same Chukwudi Tansi. "It is on record that the reason Enugwu-Agidi is the only community still unable to have an organised local vigilante group was because the Igwe had continued to insist that our local vigilante group can only be organised and instituted when the said Chukwudi Tansi is allowed to be a member and as well made the Chief Security Officer (CSO). "There was even a time I had to write a petition against a certain list of proposed members of the AVG because I saw the name of Chukwudi Tansi on the list, and to add insult to injury, as the Chief of Security."~ PG Enugwu Agidi It has been reported that the PG also disclosed that after the Igwe and his cohorts could not succeed in selling the narrative that Chukwudi Tansi was being framed wrongly, especially with the fact that Tansi was caught this time around by Agunechemba Joint Task Force with 2 AK 47s and 4 foreign pistols, as well as the confession of Tansi's wife to her husband's crimes in a trending video, "their recent gimmick was to try to sell the laughable narrative that Tansi was working with, the President General". Honourable Onuorah therefore implored the state government to ensure thorough investigation on the activities of Chukwudi Tansi as well as his connection with Igwe Okekeuche and ensure that Tansi is not let off the noose again by certain powerful members of his community who are most likely aiding and abetting his criminal activities. "This man (Chukwudi Tansi) is a menace to the society. He is the reason I go about with security guards and releasing him into the society again would be antithetical to the efforts being made by Mr Governor, Professor Charles Soludo, to ensure peace reigns in the state," he said.
