INEC, APGA Sabotaged Anambra South By-Election - ADC Senatorial Candidat, Amamgbo

Barr. Donald Chidi Amamgbo, the African Democratic Congress (ADC) candidate for the Anambra South Senatorial by-election, has come hard on INEC over what he described as "systemic sabotage" and deliberate disenfranchisement during the just concluded by-election in Anambra State.

In a press conference at Awka, Amamgbo alleged that INEC withheld tags for ADC's ward and local government collation agents, effectively crippling the party's ability to defend its votes.

He also claimed that INEC circulated a doctored list of polling agents in Ihiala, which differed from the authentic list submitted by ADC.

Amamgbo described the election as a "carefully orchestrated charade" designed to undermine the credibility of the process.

He criticized Governor Charles Soludo's statement that Labour and ADC parties are "dead" in Anambra, suggesting that the governor's party, APGA, was behind the alleged sabotage.

The ADC candidate emphasized that the people of Anambra South deserve an independent voice in the Senate, not a puppet senator controlled by Governor Soludo.

He called for a thorough review of the electoral process, institutional reforms within INEC, and an end to the culture of collusion between political parties and electoral officials.

Amamgbo vowed to continue speaking out against attempts to undermine democracy and restore faith in the ballot.

Parts of Amamgbo's speech reads:

"Elections are meant to be the ultimate expression of the people’s will. Instead, what we witnessed was a carefully orchestrated charade designed to obfuscate, suffocate and decimate the people’s voice and choice. Ultimately undermining the credibility of the process.

"On the eve of the elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deliberately withheld the tags for our ward and local government collation agents, effectively crippling ADC’s ability to defend the votes of our people at all critical stages of collation. Why one might ask? The answer is the infantile attempt to disillusion and debase ADC the primary opposition party in Nigeria. Look no further than the loquacious and bombastic statement of Professor Charles Soludo that “Labor and ADC parties are dead in Anambra”. If that was so then Anambra South is an electoral crime scene and Professor Soludo election malfeasance is directly to blame.

"In Ihiala, INEC went further by circulating a doctored list of polling agents that did not correspond with the authentic list duly submitted by our party and uploaded on the INEC portal. These are not mistakes. They are not clerical oversights. They are acts of sabotage.

"I ask: How can an election be free and fair when one party is denied collation agents? That is like asking a team to play football blindfolded while the referee looks the other way.

"This sabotage was not random. It was a deliberate and deviant orchestration by the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) a political “Cult” in Anambra.

"Very devastating is the fact that APGA government has normalised vote buying knowing fully well that the hungry exploited citizens of Anambra state will collect money to vote just to survive another day.

"At the centre of this charade is a Senator-elect tethered to the control of Governor Charles Soludo. This is not democracy. This is puppetry".

The Rising Kidney Disease In Nigeria Especially In The Southeast

The first step to take to find out the cause of the rising kidney disease in Nigeria, especially in Igboland, is to discuss with patients the things they have consumed since the last 2 years or so to find out the common foods and drinks they had in common.

Laboratory examination of such foods should be carried out to know whether they were intentionally p0isoned by anyone or accidentally.

We should discard the motion that these rampant cases of kidney disease are as a result of the consumption of hard drvgs and drinks because most victims have confessed never to have taken them in their lives.

I suspect bi0logical wārfare. It is not new in history. It was used during the First World Wār.

Unfortunately, we lack a government that can verify this.

In the absence of a functioning government, you can help yourself if you live in Nigeria, especially in the Southeast, where the cases seem to be more, by cooking properly before you eat. Unfortunately, some poisons are heat resistant.

We call on groups to sponsor constant random laboratory tests of foods and drinks in the market so that we can find out where this is coming from.

Again, I suspect bi0logical wārfare. Some people might be intentionally p0isoning the food we buy from the market.

Anambra 2025:Ngige Reportedly Dumps Soludo, Backs Ukachukwu

Political circles in Anambra State are abuzz with speculation following reports that former Governor of the state, Senator Chris Ngige, has allegedly withdrawn his support for the incumbent Governor, Prof. Chukwuma Charles Soludo, and thrown his weight behind Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate for the November 8, 2025 governorship election.

The development, which has sparked mixed reactions among political stakeholders and observers, comes as a surprise to many, considering Ngige’s history of publicly commending Governor Soludo at various events both in Abuja, within Anambra and elsewhere.

According to political sources, Ngige’s alleged decision to realign his support may not be unconnected with lingering tensions between him and the current APGA-led administration over the recognition of the traditional ruler of his hometown, Alor. The state government has continued to accord recognition to H.R.H. Igwe MacAnthony Okonkwo as the Traditional Ruler of Alor, in defiance of Ngige’s reported preference for H.R.H. Igwe Collins Ebelechukwu Chukwumesili. Sources have it that several behind-the-scenes efforts by Ngige to have the government shift its recognition to Igwe Chukwumesili are said to have met a brick wall.

Another source, however, claimed that the latest move may also be part of a political reconciliation bid between Ngige and the presidency. The source alleged that Ngige was advised that securing APC’s victory in the forthcoming election would be a key step towards mending fences at the federal level, between him and the presidency.

Adding to the speculation, reports have also pointed to Ngige’s recent public remarks as subtle indicators of his dissatisfaction with the current administration. In a recent interview, the former governor appeared to criticize sitting governors who celebrate commissioning of short road projects, and also spoke pointedly about his approach to tackling insecurity during his tenure — comments some see as indirect jabs at Governor Soludo.

However, when contacted by this reporter, a close ally of Ngige outrightly dismissed the swirling claims as baseless political gossip. The ally, who spoke on condition of anonymity, maintained that Ngige has never wavered in his loyalty to the APC and has remained a key figure in the party’s leadership both in Anambra State and across the Southeast.

“Senator Ngige has always been a staunch APC man. He has never defected, nor has he worked against the party’s interests. In fact, he continues to play a leading role in strengthening the APC’s structures and advancing its chances in elections,” the ally stated.

On the allegation that Ngige’s reported backing of Ukachukwu is an attempt to curry favour with the presidency, the ally dismissed the notion as “completely fallacious,” adding that the former governor’s political stature, having served as a state governor, senator, and two-time minister, makes it unnecessary for him to seek validation through such maneuvers.

These claims and counter claims notwithstanding, as the November 8 Anambra governorship election draws nearer, the reports, whether fact or speculation, have injected fresh intrigue into the state’s political landscape, with the alleged Ngige-Ukachukwu alignment likely to attract more reactions in the weeks ahead, especially with the circulation of Ukachukwu's campaign posters with Ngige's pictures which have currently flooded the social media space.

5 Reasons Why Soludo May Win November 8th Governorship Election

On November 8, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will Conduct Anambra governorship election.

Many political Parties will be participating in the election including APC , Labour Party, ADC ,YPP, PDP and the Governor’s party APGA, amongst other parties.

There are a number of reasons why Soludo’s party, APGA stands a chance in the November 8th Anambra gubernatorial elections. In this piece, we will list these reasons in no particular order.

Lackluster Opposition

The opposition in Anambra has been ineffective and overly passive, often appearing to support the governor rather than challenge him. Instead of being proactive, the opposition has been reactive. This has allowed the current administration act with considerable latitude.

Soludo's Connections

Governor Soludo's relationships with key figures in the APC, including the President, Senator Umahi, and other governors like Zulum and Dapo Abiodun of Ogun State will be helpful. As a member of the President's advisory team, Soludo's connections may influence the President's level of involvement in Anambra's election. The President may want to retain Soludo's services, potentially affecting the election dynamics.

Zoning

The idea of zonal balance and sentiment favor Soludo. Anambra has a zoning arrangement which was started by Governor Peter Obi and this has allowed power to move – every 8 years – from each senatorial zone. Peter Obi, who is from Anambra Central spent 8 years as governor. Willie Obiano, who is from the northern senatorial zone spent the next 8 years. So, it is in the best interest of Peter Obi’s senatorial zone for Soludo to complete another 4 years and handover to a candidate from the central senatorial zone in 2030. Anything apart from this rotational arrangement will scatter and distort the peaceful political terrain in Anambra forever. The recent promises for a one-term tenure by other candidates in Anambra’s forthcoming gubernatorial election are because they know and believe in this power shift arrangement. Because of the nature of power, no politician can ever keep to a promise of spending one-term in office when the constitution allows for two terms. History is replete with many ‘honest’ politicians who broke this kind of promise!

APGA Factor

Soludo’s party, APGA, is strongly rooted in Anambra and its more of a mass movement. No other political party in Anambra has the polling unit, ward, local government and state-wide structure. The party is well-organized at the grassroot and the man in the street in Anambra is very proud to be associated with it and what it represents.

Moral Governance

Soludo’s championing of moral governance and his confrontation of cultism disguised as tradition has endeared him to religious organizations such as the church. Religious leaders see Soludo as a beacon of hope that will help transform society and eliminate moral decadence. (Soludo’s confrontation of cultism and evil native doctors have significantly helped in securing Anambra State).

Why Air Peace is Not Quoted Yet - Allen Onyema

Allen Onyema disclosed this while responding on financing options for the aviation industry as a panellist at the 2025 League of Airport and Aviation Correspondents (LAAC) conference.

At the event, the Air Peace chairman said the decision to remain private is driven by the desire to build a lasting legacy and protect the interests of staff and stakeholders.

“We want to build a legacy that will stand the test of time. Some people have told me I can get up to $100 billion with all the aircraft I have ordered,” the CEO said.

“If it is about money, I would have done that (listed) a long time ago. I would have gone to the public, maybe made money as some people advised me, and walk away. It is not about that.

“I am thinking about over 4,000 people who are working with Air Peace today. I am thinking of them.”

Onyema said one of the reasons for delaying listing on the capital market is to avoid external pressure from minority shareholders who could disrupt the company’s philanthropic and people-oriented operations.

“I am thinking of the people who would take us to court every day after investing just 0.5 percent,” he said.

“They may not allow us to continue some of the philanthropic things we do.”

The Air Peace chief added that going public remains in the long-term plans of the airline — but only after a solid foundation is in place.
