You have understand Yoruba paranoia concerning Lagos. Lagos is the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria, may be even West Africa. If Lagos had not been in Yoruba land, what would Yorubas have to boast about? Is it Abeokuta? Is it Akure? Or may be Ibadan?

There is nothing spectacular about those places and Abeokuta and Akure are just 'ordinary'. Lagos gives Yorubas a false sense of achievement


But the question is, would Lagos have become what it is had the British not made it capital of Nigeria? Would Lagos have become the commercial centre of Nigeria had it not received massive direct and indirect investments by virtue of it being the capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991?

Its one thing to own the land, its another to make anything of the land.

The truth is that Lagos is what it is by the commonwealth of all Nigerians, and if people feel they have contributed to a project, its only natural that they feel they have a stake in that project. The paranoia of Yorubas about Lagos is unfounded

2023: Why are Chijioke Edeoga, Okey Ezea and other Enugu Labour Party leaders beating war drum, destroying Peter Obi’s integrity, sanctity of Church leaders in a desperate move to snatch power?

The recent outburst that the forthcoming governorship election in Enugu State will be a “do-or-die game” by the Labour Party Senator-elect, Okey Ezea, who was ignorantly voted for by the electorate through the influence and determination of the Igbos, Christians and Obidient family to deliver the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi as president of Nigeria, is not only condemnable but also an inciting act which is at variance with what Peter Obi represents in the struggle.

Secondly, the derogatory statement by Ken Eze, one of the key social media hatchet men of the governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Enugu State, Chijioke Edeoga alleging that “Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma of Anglican Diocese of Enugu has been rumoured to have collected millions of Naira to tell Ndi Enugu to vote back the PDP” is the highest level of insult on the sanctity of the Church and yet another condemnable act that does not represent what Peter Obi and the Labour Party stand for.

The worst aspect of it all is that Chijioke Edeoga is an Anglican who instead of standing in defence of the Church has like the Biblical story of Saul, gladly watched his foot soldiers cast aspersion on ministers of God and ridiculously drag the name of the Church in the mud in his crass desperation to grab political power. Ken Eze, Edeoga's undisputable attack dog on social media has written and published series of write ups promoting his (Edeoga’s) candidacy and at the same time maligning every perceived opponent of Edeoga including those who tried to guide him on the right path.

As at today, Chijioke Edeoga, an Anglican from Enugu East Senatorial District of Enugu State has not made any statement condemning or dissociating himself from such a brazen attack on a man of God and a revered Archbishop of the Anglican Church for that matter.

What is Enugu State trying to turn to just because some desperate and insensitive politicians mistakenly benefited from the mass movement to deliver Peter Obi as president of Nigeria?

Archbishop Chukwuma’s sin for the undeserving insult on his sacred personality by the Labour Party’s opportunists in Enugu State was that he was quoted to have said: "Apart from the Presidential election last Saturday, a lot of mistakes were made because of wrong emotion. Some who were elected have no experience and cannot legislate. That mistake must be avoided on the 11th pls. The Church will surely speak!" ~ Archbishop Emmanuel Chukwuma.”

Reacting to the statement by Archbishop Chukwuma, Ken Eze, Edeoga’s hatchet man wrote:

“If any man of God suddenly starts advocating for the PDP to be voted back to power, just know that he has compromised his faith by taking bribe from the govt. Ken Eze.”

From all indications, Chijioke Edeoga, Okey Ezea and their Labour Party cohorts in Enugu State are not interested in the electoral fortunes of Peter Obi and the Obidient movement. They have no respect for the sanctity of the Church and the clergymen. They do not promote peace and unity rather they are promoters of violence and war. They are only interested in their personal and parochial political agenda to occupy the Government House at all cost. God forbid!

As our revered Archbishop Chukwuma rightly said, “That mistake must be avoided on the 11th pls. The Church will surely speak!”

Enugu State needs someone who is competent, respectful, disciplined, prepared for the job, has a defined manifesto and fears God.

Edeoga who has been sponsoring mischievous and malicious publications against his political opponents especially the PDP governorship candidate, Dr. Peter Mbah and the Enugu State Governor, Rt. Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi who graciously appointed him as a Commissioner for two consecutive times, biting the finger that fed him, lacks the above leadership qualities.

As an in-law to Chief John Nnia Nwodo, Edeoga is nothing but a stooge to the Nwodos who are doing every humanly possible including character assassination and baseless clannish sentiments to grab power through the back door. Ndi Enugu will resist that!

The good news is that Peter Mbah of the PDP has received the overwhelming endorsements of the people of Enugu State including the political, religious and traditional leaders such as former Governor Sullivan Chime and Archbishop Chukwuma, based on his competence, character, credibility and vision for Enugu State as contained in his manifesto.

Edeoga and his co-travellers need no soothsayer to tell them that the upcoming March 11 Governorship and State Assembly Elections will be a different ball game from the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly Elections as Peter Obi is not contesting election on March 11 and will consequently not be a saving grace for any candidate of the Labour Party as it was the case on the February 25 elections.

Congratulations to Kelvin Chukwu in advance.

LP from top to bottom.

Nnamani just wasted his time murdering Barr Oyibo Chukwu. He is still going to jail after this whole electoral process.

Chimaroke will pay for his crime

drlateef:
Shut up!!! If we are bigoted, Obi wont get one vote in southwest, just like he got 99% in the east. The world knows who is bigoted.

Ttalk:
Is this what you called in-depth analysis? well I agree that English is not your mother tongue so the wrong usage of words can be ignored.

But tell me, why do you think Yoruba picks only Igbo out of many tribes that reside in Lagos if not that your people have overstepped their boundary with foolish words such as "Lagos is no man's land,?

12Monkeys:
Tinubu as governor and later godfather of Lagos politics accommodated for every tribe including the ever ungrateful OSU who he gave employment in both the state civil service and political appointments.

But was this the case with Obi who even sacked his fellow igbos from Anambra civil service on the basis that they were not from Anambra state. These unfortunate workers had served in the defunct old Anambra civil service and came from present day Enugu, Ebonyi. Obi sacked them and told them to go and seek employment in their respective states despite some serving over 25ys .

Even Obi's campaign office was headed by his fellow osus cut and drawn mainly from his Anambra state. While Tinubu's campaign had every tribe and state represented.

Not holding brief for Tinubu as I didn't vote for his old crusty ass but the Osubidient should be held to their own hypocrisy and shown how their own candidate remains the most tribalistic and most divisive ever to contest an election and for this I am happy he lost .

I am looking forward to Obi heading to court because only a court will expose the massive rigging he carried out in the SE and that which APC did for him in PDP strongholds were they stole Atiku votes and gave to obi. At the end, Obi will come a distant 4th .

Mbah seems to be the best candidate for Enugu state, but people are saying that he is in the wrong party at this time. The LP candidate, Edeoga, is seen as the most incompetent, haven been in politics since 1989 he has nothing to show for it, but he wants to clinch to power because of Peter Obi's effect.
The APGA candidate is also a good option and people are going for him based on competence, though he's from the same LGA as the previous Governor, Chimaroke.

Most people in Enugu town are clamouring for APGA, Frank Nweke, while most Enugu North people (current Governor's senatorial district) want Edeoga, who's also believed to be related to the current Governor. Enugu west, and some Enugu East people want Mbah of PDP. Recently, the best Governor of Enugu state, Barr Sullivan Chime, endorsed Peter Mbah, saying that he has interacted with the whole candidates but found Mbah to be the best.

Though there's a rumor that Mbah's wealth came from Enugu state money(Ego ndi Enugu), but he was also notes to have been in active politics for 4years, while LP candidate Edeoga have been in active politics for over 30yrs and the APGA man for over 22yrs with all of them holding key positions, but I'm wondering where the others invested their own money (probably outside the country) because there's nothing much to show for it.

These 3 candidates are directly linked to Ebeano family, but the ones that couldn't get PDP ticket were aggrieved and they joined another party.

My submission, vote for competence, we voted PO based on his competence, people should not make the mistake of voting Party, but someone that has shown what he has done in the past and how he has helped the people with the little opportunity he had.

Wagwanbrethren:
Oboy you go nowhere! 🤣
All this story go change nothing. You don't have a chance in Lagos. If you like import people from anywhere to vote for you, taah! 🤣🤣

Mraphel:
LP party rigged the most in this election. Let's keep our fingers crossed and watch things unfold.

Is it not in ebonyi they ran off with ballot papers?

Is it not in d east some women singing and thumb printing LP without bvas.

Is not in east an elderly man was threatened for voting APC.

Is it not in east Okeke Cynthia rigged for a pooling unit

Is it not in the east two men were killed during the election?

Several more will be unravel soon.

Babalegba:
Since Obi the man from the splintered PDP has not been able to win the presidential election much to the annoyance of the youths despite his exemplary world class performance when he was anambra governor during which time poverty was eradicated and every graduate got to live in an utopian penthouse.
I would like to propose a solution to the current imbroglio : Let us keep repeating the elections until Obi wins even though it might take a few million years for him to get twenty five percent in twenty four states since he spends his campaigning time visiting churches even though many Nigerians are Muslims. The Constitution should be changed to accommodate this.
