Imo Assembly Chief Whip, Nwaneri, 11 Other Members Lose Return Tickets at APC Primaries

At least 12 serving members of the Imo State House of Assembly lost their bids to return to the House during the All Progressives Congress, APC, primaries for the 2027 general elections held on Wednesday 20th May 2026.

The affected lawmakers include the Chief Whip and member representing Oru East State Constituency, Chigozie Nwaneri,. Others who lost their third-term bids are Uche Agabige of Orsu, Chidiebere Ogbunikpa of Okigwe, Clinton Amadi of Owerri Municipal, Dominic Ezerioha of Oru West and Johnson Duru of Ideato South.

Several lawmakers seeking second terms also failed to secure their party’s tickets. They include Ikenna Ihezue of Orlu, Kingsley Ozurumba of Isu, Kelechi Ofurum of Owerri North, and Johnleoba of Ikeduru.

Two members who attempted to move to the National Assembly were also unsuccessful. James Esile of Onuimo lost his ticket in the bid for the House of Representatives, as did Sam Otuibe of Ahiazu Mbaise

Former Speaker Rt. Hon. Kennedy Ibeh, who is currently serving his third term, did not seek re-election. Similarly, the current Speaker, Chike Olemgbe, did not contest, as the zoning arrangement in his constituency did not favour him.

Political observers note that several APC candidates heading into the 2027 elections are considered unpopular in their constituencies. With the primaries concluded, attention has shifted to how the party’s flag bearers will fare at the polls next year.

OFFICIAL INTRODUCTION BY IDEATO SOUTH TRANSFORMATION TEAM

Fellow sons and daughters of Ideato South, distinguished leaders, and respected stakeholders of our great land —

It is with great pride and a deep sense of responsibility that the *Ideato South Transformation Team* formally presents to you a son of the soil, a proven administrator, and a visionary leader: *Chief Chijioke Ndudi Uzomba (KSC)*.

Chief Uzomba steps forward today to answer the clarion call to serve, as he declares his intention to run for the *Ideato South State Constituency Seat* in the Imo State House of Assembly.

*Why Chief Chijioke Ndudi Uzomba?*

1. *Proven Track Record in Leadership & Enterprise*
As the *MD/CEO of Verofort Group of Companies*, Chief Uzomba has demonstrated rare capacity for building, managing, and scaling institutions that create jobs, empower youths, and deliver value. Under his leadership, Verofort Group has grown into a multi-sector enterprise with interests spanning construction, logistics, agriculture, and technology — employing hundreds of our people directly and thousands indirectly. He understands wealth creation, and he knows how to get results.

2. Character and Service
A Knight of Saint Christopher (KSC), Chief Uzomba’s life reflects discipline, integrity, and service to God and humanity. His philanthropic footprint across Ideato South speaks for itself — from scholarship schemes for indigent students, to support for widows, to community development projects executed without political office.

3. The Most Preferred Candidate
After wide consultations with elders, youth groups, women leaders, and stakeholders across all wards of Ideato South, one name consistently emerged as the most preferred — Chief Chijioke Ndudi Uzomba. The people want competence. They want capacity. They want a legislator who will not learn on the job, but who comes prepared with experience from the private sector to make laws that work and attract development.

Our Commitment
The Ideato South Transformation Team believes that representation is not a title — it is responsibility. With Chief Uzomba, Ideato South will have a voice that is bold, informed, and effective. A voice that will push for quality education, rural infrastructure, youth empowerment, and policies that bring government closer to the people.

We therefore call on all Ndi Ideato South at home and in the diaspora to rally behind this noble cause. The time for transformation is now. The man for the job is Chief Chijioke Ndudi Uzomba (KSC).

Ideato South Transformation Team
For Progress. For the People. For the Future

IDEATO SOUTH TRANSFORMATION TEAM CALLS ON CHIEF CHIJIOKE UZOMBA TO RUN FOR STATE CONSTITUENCY ELECTIONS

——SAYS IT’S TIME TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE

Sociopolitical group under the aegis of deato South Transformation Team has issued a resounding call to Chief Chijioke Ndudi Uzomba to step forward and contest the Ideato South State Constituency seat in 2027. This call is not borne out of sentiment, but out of a clear-eyed recognition of what the constituency urgently need; proven capacity, private sector discipline, and a leader who understands how to build systems that work.

Chief Chijioke Ndudi Uzomba brings to the table a rare wealth of experience forged in the competitive arena of the private sector. For over 15 years, he has navigated boardrooms and shop floors, leading business strategy, expanding customer bases, and managing human capital with measurable results. From driving growth as CEO/MD of Verofort Group to delivering operational efficiency in high-pressure corporate environments, his track record is defined by one thing: delivery. That is the private sector mindset Ideato South needs in government — a results-first approach where budgets are managed, people are developed, and targets are met without excuses.

What sets Chief Uzomba apart is not a list of offices held, but the consistency of the value he creates. His career reflects deep competence in administration, marketing strategy, logistics and supply chain optimization, and organizational development. These are not abstract skills. They are the tools for fixing broken public service delivery, for attracting development to our communities, for constructive engagements and for ensuring that government works with the efficiency of a well-run enterprise. He understands numbers, systems, and people which are the three pillars of real governance.

Ideato South can no longer afford representatives who learn on the job. We need a man who has built structures, negotiated international transactions, led diverse teams, and turned strategy into profit. That same energy can turn policy into progress and development for Umuobom, Umuezedike, and every clan in our LGA. His grounding in statistics, logistics, and business management means he will legislate with data, plan with foresight, and execute with precision. This is how you change the narrative; by replacing promises with performance.

Having previously answered the call of his people as APGA Candidate in 2019, Chijioke Uzomba already understands the terrain, the needs, and the frustrations of Ideato South. He is not coming to experiment. He is coming to implement. He represents a new generation of leaders who see public office as service, not settlement, and who bring private sector accountability into public leadership. His life’s work has been about growth, efficiency, and human development. Now, our constituency must benefit from that wealth of experience.

Therefore, the Ideato South Transformation Team is calling on Chief Chijioke Ndudi Uzomba to heed this clarion call and offer himself once again. Ideato South deserves a legislator with vision, competence, and a proven record of getting things done. The era of trial and error is over. With Uzomba, it is time to change the narrative; from stagnation to strategy, from complaints to competence, from promises to progress.

GOVERNMENT OF IMO STATE

PRESS RELEASE

Security: Uzodimma inaugurates 7000-man Imo State Vigilance Services Organisation
...Says era of constance fear in Imo gone

Seven thousand able bodied young men and women were Friday inaugurated as members of the Imo State Vigilance Services Organisation by Governor Hope Uzodimma, another bold step taken to enhance security in the State.

The inauguration is part of efforts by the Governor Uzodimma-led administration to completely eradicate crime and criminality in all communities of Imo State, and underscore a renewed commitment to peace and stability.

The event, held at the Rear Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu Square, Owerri, marked a significant step in the administration's strategy to combat insecurity and foster a safe environment for residents.

“As a state, we have witnessed a transformation,” the Governor remarked, reflecting on the recent festive season's peace. “This past Christmas, our communities celebrated without incidents of molestation, a testament to the return of calm and order.”

Governor Uzodimma emphasised that the establishment of the Vigilance Services Organization, backed by the Imo State Security Organisation Amendment Law No. 3 of 2025, is not only essential for local security but also a proactive measure to protect the state’s developmental gains. “We must work every day to keep the peace we have earned,” he stated.

Governor Uzodimma addressed traditional rulers directly, affirming their crucial role in community safety. “You are the fathers of your communities. You know your children, and it is upon you to expose criminality,” he urged, calling for collaboration between the Vigilance Organisation and local leaders.

The newly trained members of the Vigilance Services Organization will serve as the “eyes and ears” within the communities, equipped with essential skills for intelligence gathering.They are here to nip insecurity in the bud,” Governor Uzodimma noted, reinforcing that peace is a continuous effort rather than a destination.

In a strong message to potential disruptors, the Governor asserted: “We have worked too hard to build this new Imo. Any attempt to incite violence will not be tolerated. The era of constance fear is gone and now behind us.”

He therefore called on the citizens to support the newly inaugurated officers, emphasising cooperation as vital for maintaining public safety. “When the right hand washes the left and the left washes the right, both hands become clean,” he explained, urging community engagement in the fight against insecurity.

The Governor maintained that the inauguration serves as a clear signal to investors and visitors that Imo State is focused on maintaining a safe climate for growth and development. “Imo is open, Imo is safe,” he insisted and encouraged all to find opportunities within the state.

Governor Uzodimma commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for endorsing community policing and the establishment of local security initiatives, emphasising that this approach allows communities to take ownership of their security, which is vital for enhancing national security.

He expressed gratitude for Tinubu's support, highlighting the importance of empowering local vigilance groups and fostering collaboration between them and traditional rulers to maintain peace and safety in Imo State, describing the initiative as a cornerstone for ensuring sustained security and stability for the community, "ultimately contributing to a safer Nigeria."

In his welcome address, the Commissioner for Homeland Security and Vigilante Affairs, Hon. Modestus Osakwe, said the launch of the Imo State Security Organization (ISSO) is a major milestone in the state’s ongoing efforts to strengthen safety and security.

He noted that the initiative represents a bold, strategic, and visionary step toward addressing security challenges and ensuring a peaceful future for all residents of the state.

According to him, the establishment of the Imo State Security Organisation signals the beginning of a new era of peace, safety, and prosperity, pointing out that the outfit was created in response to growing concerns over crime and insecurity in various communities.

The Commissioner commended Governor Uzodimma for his proactive leadership and unwavering commitment to prioritizing the security and wellbeing of Imo people. "Security remains a critical foundation for sustainable development and economic growth," Osakwe emphasized.

He expressed optimism that the new security organisation would strengthen collaboration between conventional security agencies and local communities, improve intelligence gathering, and enhance rapid response to security threats.

The Commissioner therefore called on residents to cooperate with the Imo State Security Organisation and actively participate in community safety initiatives, stressing that security is a collective responsibility.

The high points of the event was the unavailing of security provided by the State government for the 27 Local Governments of the State, as well as awards to Best Legal Lecturer, Best Parade Commander, Best in Drills, Best Guard Commander, Best LGA Chairman on Mobilization Skills, Best in Academics and Best Behaved Recruit.

Present at the event were; the Deputy Governor, Lady Chinyere Ekomaru, Senators representing Imo West and North - Senators Senator Osita Izunaso, and Patrick Ndubueze, members of the House of Representatives, members of the State House of Assembly, the Secretary to Government of Imo State, Chief Cosmos Iwu, Chief of Staff to the Governor, Barr. Nnamdi Anyaehie, members of the Imo State expanded Executive Council and other government appointees, Local Government Council Chairmen, Councillors, Heads of Security Agencies and Para-military, traditional rulers among others.

Nigeria Premier Football League Kicks Off As Fans Expect Thrilling Rivalries

The 2025/26 season of Nigeria's Premier football league kicks off in 10 centres across the country this Friday. The opening day has lined up high-stakes encounters

Fans can expect thrilling rivalries, debut stories, and the first statements of intent from clubs eyeing the crown.

Remo Stars vs Rivers United (Abeokuta)
The spotlight will be firmly in Abeokuta, the temporary home of the Ikenne-based Remo Stars, who will host Rivers United in what promises to be a blockbuster opener. It will be a continuation of last season’s rivalry, where both teams struggled for the championship, which Remo Stars eventually won, pushing Rivers United to the runners-up position.

Both sides have established themselves among the league’s elite in recent seasons, with Remo Stars known for their flair and Rivers United carrying the weight of continental experience.

A clash of ambition awaits. Remo Stars may, however, be understrength as nine of their players, as well as the head coach, are just returning from the African Nations Championship (CHAN) still going on in East Africa.

Abia Warriors vs Kano Pillars (Umuahia)
In Umuahia, Abia Warriors will welcome the legendary Kano Pillars in a battle that pits youthful hunger against tradition. Pillars, buoyed by their passionate fan base, will aim to assert themselves early, but the Warriors are known for upsetting giants at home.

It will be the first league match for Ahmed Musa as the General Manager of Kano Pillars.

Wikki Tourists vs Plateau United (Bauchi)
North-central rivals Wikki Tourists and Plateau United will lock horns in Bauchi. Matches between both sides are often fiercely contested, and Plateau’s pedigree as former champions will be tested by Wikki’s resilience.

Katsina United vs Warri Wolves (Katsina)
Katsina United will begin their campaign against newly promoted Warri Wolves. The Wolves, back in the big time, will be eager to mark their return with a statement, while Katsina rely on home advantage to start strong.

Rangers Int’l vs Kun-Khalifat (Enugu)
At the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu Rangers International will face Kun-Khalifat, the league newcomers. For Rangers, it’s a chance to begin their season in front of a loyal home crowd, but all eyes will be on Kun-Khalifat to see how they adapt to the top-flight spotlight.

Kun-Khalifat of Imo State are one of the four private clubs featuring in the Nigerian elite league this season.

Kwara United vs Ikorodu City (Ilorin)
Kwara United will entertain Ikorodu City, who are having their second season in the NPFL. In their maiden adventure, they were almost securing the ticket to feature in the CAF Confederation League.

The Lagos-based side will be playing their first-ever NPFL match, and their baptism of fire comes against a Kwara United team eager to improve on last season’s mid-table finish.

El-Kanemi Warriors vs Bendel Insurance (Maiduguri)
Maiduguri hosts a heavyweight duel as El-Kanemi Warriors take on Bendel Insurance. Insurance, one of the league’s traditional giants, face a tough away test against a side known for turning their home ground into a fortress.

Shooting Stars vs Bayelsa United (Ibadan)
In Ibadan, Shooting Stars (3SC) will face Bayelsa United in a fixture steeped in pride. The Oluyole Warriors will aim to rekindle their glory days, while Bayelsa United, FA Cup specialists, will look to prove their consistency in league football.

Barau vs Enyimba Int’l
League debutants Barau could not have asked for a sterner introduction as they host record champions Enyimba International. The People’s Elephant, with their history of dominance, will be expected to start strong, but Barau will draw on home support to seek a famous result.

Niger Tornadoes vs Nasarawa United (Minna)
The final fixture sees Niger Tornadoes welcome Nasarawa United in a north-central derby. With both teams battling for early momentum, fans should expect a fiery contest in Minna.

The 2025 NPFL season promises drama, goals, and stories of resilience. As the whistle sounds across ten venues this weekend, the journey towards Nigeria’s most coveted football title begins in earnest.
