The Ideological Clash in Nsukka: From Conservative Plutocracy to Progressive Governance

Written: by Ogugua Vitalis(JA Media)

The underlying theatrics of Nsukka politics is something an average Nsukka man does not understand, and this lack of comprehension has fundamentally made him a prey to the growing numbers of economic predators clothed in political cloaks. These average men and women of Nsukka, who are oblivious to the "war in the background," end up playing directly into the game plan orchestrated by these wolves in sheep's clothing simply because they lack the basic information of what is truly at play.

One may begin to wonder why the government of Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI, consistently suffers steady attack from certain known and unknown individuals. The reason is not far-fetched: it is a government which understands these gimmicks and theatrics from the Nsukka political class and is always averse to politicking that is anti-developmental, which traditionally involves channeling money meant for public development into the pockets of a few political elites while the masses suffer from social development decay and poor infrastructure.

Across wards and communities, many residents remain unaware of the deeper, often hidden struggle over who controls public resources and how those resources are deployed. In this vacuum of information, misinformation easily thrives, and the same citizens who ought to benefit from good governance often become instruments in the hands of those determined to protect longstanding political privileges.

What baffles the most is that when these few political elites fight back, as the government of the day redirects these resources from their individual pockets to the rightful place of community projects, the average Nsukka man and woman that the government stands for tends to concur with the narratives spewed by this political class. The idiosyncrasy that leads to this is entirely rooted in perceiving dishonourable members of the society as honourable members, clannishness and clannish politics, as the people are deliberately divided (the "divide and rule antics") by the chauvinism from this political class. The end game is all about retaining the resources in their pocket. Many do not know that the primary motives behind regional divides like "Nsukka West this, Nsukka Central that, Nsukka East must represent..." are merely a screen and an agenda clearly set in place to enroot the divide and rule initiative.

These political actors, regardless of their zone within the Local Government or even beyond (within the senatorial zone), often share a common interest: ensuring that the flow of council resources continues to benefit them. They deploy misinformation, half-truths, and calculated propaganda to turn the public against any administration that disrupts the status quo. Unfortunately, many residents unknowingly buy into these narratives.
It was, indeed, a blessing from the Most High in the emergence of Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI. Looking closely into how he emerged, one will understand that he came not endorsed by these few Nsukka political stakeholders, which provides a second basis for the subsequent attack on his government. Not only did he come without their endorsement, but his political ideology is entirely distinct, creating a significant rift: the style of political ideology displayed by Engr. Jude Asogwa is Progressive style of Politics, Progressivism, while this political sect displays much of conservative plutocracy. Examples to this aren’t farfetched, as one can see what is actually transpiring, the level of attacks his government is witnessing, the level of online ranting and misplacement of facts, and also the most dangerous form of scheming at play. As I said earlier, the ordinary man, for whom Engr. Jude is fighting for, ends up being a puppet in the hands of these few political class, who are fighting strongly for the retention of the people’s resources in their pocket and are not utilized for the benefits of the masses.

This is the time that the average Nsukka man needs to think: What actually is Engr. Jude Asogwa’s offense? What is actually happening? Is Jude really performing that bad to have warranted such physical, media, and beer parlour attack? Or is the backlash driven by deeper interests threatened by the shift in governance priorities?

The facts of his performance are clear: Isn’t Jude constructing a total of 12.6km of road in the Local Government Area currently? This includes the 5.6km Nguru-Ede-Oballa-Lejja road, the 4.2km Amaji-Urban Girls Road, the 1.2km Odoru Road, and the completed 1.6km GRA Ring Road. Among his flagship projects, doesn’t it include the Nsukka International Market—currently ongoing with up to 2,000 shops out from its foundation stage? This market was designed to have international features and elevate Nsukka to the global stage while solving the commerce need of the city. What about the rural and market electrification? Ugwuoroko in Ibagwa-Agu was lighted for the first time in history, with a promise from Hon. Frank Anioma, SPA Political to the Governor, promising to utilize his office to partner with the Local Government in escalating the request by the community to light up those areas that were difficult to reach. What about the borehole projects, like the newly constructed and delivered boreholes at Owere Lejja, Amaji Umakashi, Umuakpor Ibagwani and other ongoing ones at other locations like Agbor Obimo, Aku Road Market, etc.? What about the disbursement of transformers to 8 different communities like Ezeani, Akpa/Ozzi, Iheagu Nru, etc.? What about the student Bursary programs and scholarships, the road maintenance, ongoing Nsukka Corps Lodge, Ongoing Nsukka LGA Secretariat renovation, etc.?

The truth here is that what is really causing the problem is that Engr. Jude Asogwa has refused the sharing of the council’s resources to these political few, and they felt threatened. Engr. Jude Asogwa has directed these resources to the benefits of the public, and these few political classes from Nsukka LGA and beyond are asking the question: why should he do that? Does he want to claim that he is the first Local Government Chairman in Nsukka?

The more important questions for every Nsukka citizen to ask further are: Why do some stakeholders fight against some policies or projects that could have benefitted their community immensely? When asked such questions, you will definitely arrive at the points posited here. Examples include the Afor Opi market expansion project, the Nkwor Okutu market expansion and vehicle terminal plan (Okutu motor park), and other notable initiatives that could have benefitted our communities.

The average Nsukka citizen must now recognize this ideological battle, ask pertinent questions, and align with the principles of development over personal enrichment.

Enhancing Yuletide Season Security: Engr. Jude Asogwa Starts Clearing of Bushes Along Opi-Ugwogo Nike Road

Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa KSJI, Chairman of Nsukka local government area, recently started clearing bushes along the Opi-Ugwogo road. This aims to provide clear visibility between the road and the bushes for road users, which were aiding as a hideout for hoodlums. Work can be observed to have started from the Opi section of the road extending up to Pillar Pole filling station/checkpoint. The work will continue relentlessly to the border section of the road between Nsukka LGA and Igbo-Etiti LGA.

You can recall that the council chairman recently conducted a security tour across the different security checkpoints within the council area, and the clearing of this nearby roadside bushes is necessary to help motorists and the general road users to see clearly ahead of them as they travel along the road.

Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI, Chairman of Nsukka Local Government Area, today 8th December inaugurated the Executives for the Victory Women for Jude Chinedu Asogwa at the Local Government and Ward levels. The formation of this vanguard team was necessitated by the Council Chairman's commitment to women's participation and inclusivity in governance, serving as a medium to grant women easier access to contribute their quota to community development, report issues of gender abuse (gender violence), and foster closer ties between grassroots women and the government.

The event, held today at the prestigious Adada Hall, saw women from diverse demographics and age grades converge for the inauguration of the Local Government and Ward level executives of the team. Speaking at the event, Comrade Ogechukwu Angel Asadu, the Local Government Coordinator for the Nsukka Local Government team, confirmed that those being inaugurated included the Executive Committees for the 20 respective wards, the Local Government Executive Committee, and the Student Executives representing non-indigene students. The latter will focus on representing the interests of non-indigene students and ensuring that their rights abuse complaints and participation matters are handled promptly. She further extended gratitude to the Council Chairman for the commendable initiative of providing women a significant voice in his administration. She pledged to deliver on the mandates assigned to them by the Council Chairman and ensure the comprehensive representation of every woman’s voice.

Mrs. Chizoba Ngene Peace (JP), speaking on the occasion, lauded the Council Chairman for such a remarkable initiative, noting that it was specifically designed to take the dividends of good leadership to women and the girl-child at the grassroots level, and to effectively channel the complaints of these vulnerable populations to the Local Government authority.

During the Inauguration ceremony, Engr. Jude Asogwa reiterated his administration's steadfast resolve to incorporate all segments of society and ensure that the needs of every citizen are addressed. He emphasized that the era when women's voices were suppressed and their complaints regarding pressing issues like rights violation and gender violence were neglected has passed. He further highlighted that his administration established the Citizens' Complaint Unit, headed by Barrister F.C. Omeke, with the sole duty of ensuring that the human rights violation of any Nsukka citizen is decisively addressed. The Council Chairman pledged enhanced support for women and the girl-child, citing that his administration has already placed many young women and ladies on scholarship, is undertaking ongoing house renovation projects for a helpless woman, and has launched other crucial initiatives to support women in the society. He charged the team to execute their duties with the fear of God and recognize their role as representatives of Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa in their various communities. Their primary responsibility is to ensure robust representation of women and to accurately convey complaints and reports on issues affecting women in their communities, serving as exemplary ambassadors of the Local Government Council and His Excellency, Barr. Dr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah, the Governor of the State.

A key highlight of the event was the oath-taking ceremony for the inauguration of the Local Government and Ward Executives of the team, administered by Barr. F.C. Omeke of the Citizens' Complaint Unit.

OFFICIAL PUBLIC DISCLAIMER AND WARNING

Issued by the Office of the Chairman, Nsukka Local Government Area (LGA)

The attention of the Nsukka Local Government Council, under the leadership of Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI, has been drawn to a malicious, false, and deeply misleading information spreading rapidly across social media platforms. These fabricated reports criminally attempt to link the Council Chairman to the suspect in the recent tragic incident at Bekay Pharmacy.

This document serves as a category 1 disclaimer and an Official Public Warning against the dissemination of these wicked fabrications, which are designed to exploit a tragedy for the sole purpose of political blackmail and defamation against the person and office of the Council Chairman.

The Nsukka Local Government Council unequivocally and emphatically refute the false, malicious, and criminal claim circulating that the murder suspect, Mr. Emma Nwagwu, placed a call to or confessed his crime to the Council Chairman, Engr. Jude Asogwa, or any official of the Council.

This claim is a complete and utterly untrue fabrication, engineered by serial blackmailers whose sole intent is to tarnish the Chairman's image and destroy public trust by tagging him as a sympathizer or accomplice to a criminal act.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Council wishes to make the following facts clear:
Community Appointment: Mr. Emma Nwagwu holds the position of Chief Security Officer (CSO) solely by the decision and authority of his community leadership.

No Council Appointment: The suspect is NOT, and has never been, an appointee, staff, associate, or friend of the Council Chairman, Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, KSJI.

No Official Connection: The Council has no official or political connection whatsoever to the activities, actions, or criminal tendencies of Mr. Emma Nwagwu.

The Council authority warns the public and the perpetrators of these criminal acts that the deliberate spreading of fabricated information, which is calculated to blackmail, spoil, or destroy the image of any person, is a severe crime under Nigerian law.

The Council is prepared to go to any necessary length in partnering with law enforcement agencies to fish out, identify, and ensure the arrest and prosecution of those responsible for spreading these defamatory and fake narratives.

Our deepest sympathies remain with the family of the deceased girl. The Nsukka Local Government Council supports the swift and transparent investigation by the Nigeria Police Force to ensure that justice is served.

The chairman ended his speech by asking the staff to sensitize their children and families on voter registration. He stated that it is very important that every person within the required age by law registers, as it is also one of the bases for the creation of additional local government areas and states by the government, aside the primary aim which is voting.

ZEAL AND VISION: ENGR. JUDE ASOGWA’S WATCHWORDS FOR NSUKKA’S DEVELOPMENT

_How a New Borehole in Amaji Umakashi Restores Hope and Community Confidence._

BY: Eze Abigail (JA MEDIA)

Development especially in this part of Enugu (Nsukka) is not merely the construction of structures; it is the restoration of dignity, the strengthening of community capacity, and the proof that leadership is listening to the needs of the people. Today in Amaji-Umakashi Nsukka Asadu ideke Arumona, Engr. Jude Chinedu Asogwa, City Mayor of Nsukka Local Government, is demonstrating a style of governance defined by zeal, vision and community centred revolution.

One of the most symbolic examples of his leadership is the new functional borehole constructed in Amaji Umakashi, a community whose struggle for clean and reliable water has lasted for years due to negligence and other forms of political rivalry even when the Local government has experienced one party system. This single project, though infrastructural in nature, speaks volumes about the political philosophy and development theory guiding Jude Asogwa’s administration.

By wider and advanced perspective, local government development is often evaluated through three lenses, first, a local project is evaluated through responsiveness: yes, how quickly a leader attend to essential needs of the local people matters a lot.

Secondly, the relevance of such development matters a lot. A local project is evaluated to crosscheck whether such projects reflect actual community priorities because you can't give a community that needs water, market and you expect them to be happy.

Thirdly, the redistributive Impact of such development. A local development cm project is always evaluated to know how resources flow to underserved populations for even distribution and proper enhancement of resources.

For years, Amaji Umakashi community relied on inconsistent water sources, streams, seasonal wells, and purchased water. This created health risks, increased household water expenditure, and reduced time for productive engagement, especially for women and children and this struggle has made things difficult for them but thank God for bringing Engr Jude Asogwa, who heard their cries and empowered them with a functional borehole.
