IPOB BOMBS SOLUDO over “reckless statement”, claims Anambra Governor “a danger to Igbo survival”

"The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has taken a swipe at Anambra State Governor, Professor Charles Chukwuma Soludo for what the group called his “latest reckless, inflammatory and genocidally provocative comments against the Igbo.

"Reacting to a recent statement by Gov. Soludo claiming that 99% of the youths involved in kidnapping in Anambra State is Igbo, IPOB lamented that such a “public utterance made without an iota of investigative backing, has now become the green light for the Nigerian security agencies and Fulani-sponsored terror militias to commence another round of massacre and abductions of innocent youths across the South-East..."

2027: OBI WAVES ZONING AS ‘polity stabiliser’, explains why he’ll do one term if elected

"Former Governor of Anambra State and 2023 presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has explained that his decision to run for one term of four years, if elected president in 2027, is to respect the sanctity of zoning, which, he said, has served as the very kernel of the nation’s political stability since the advent of the current political dispensation in 1999, despite its not being expressly provided for in the constitution.

"Speaking during an interview on Channels Television program Politics today, last Sunday night, Obi said insisted that four years are enough for any serious and sincere leader to make the desired impact..."

NIGERIA: ENDING THE AFFLICTIONS of age falsifications by Judges, by Chidi Anselm Odinkalu

"A little over two decades away from its perception as a shrine for the resolution of the most rarefied disputes in the country, the Supreme Court of Nigeria played host to a Nigerian drama. With less than two years to go before retirement, a senior justice of that court approached then-Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN) Mohammed Lawal Uwais with a discovery. A wise, old uncle of his from the village in one of the states of southern Nigeria had just informed him, the Justice disclosed, that there had been an error in the computation of his age as he had, indeed, been born two years later than the age disclosed in his documentation. He sought the consent of CJN Uwais for the rectification of that little error..."

IPOB REFUTES UMAHI'S Kanu release negotiations claim, calls it “reckless, contemptuous” propaganda

"The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has described as “reckless and contemptuous” a report quoting the Minister of Works, David Umahi, as claiming that negotiations are going on at the moment for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the group’s detained leader.

"Calling the report “laughable propaganda, obviously orchestrated by the same oppressive government that criminally abducted and extraordinarily renditioned him from Kenya,” IPOB accused the FG of resorting to gimmicks in the handling of the controversial Nnamdi Kanu case, insisting that for former Governor Umahi to claim a non-existent negotiation is ongoing “is nothing short of an insult—both to Kanu’s person and to the millions of Biafrans whose hopes he embodies...”

OBI DOWNPLAYS SEEMING destroy-opposition intrigues, assures he’ll be on 2027 ballot

"And reechoing his declaration that he is not seeking power for the heck of it but that he is only desperate to turn Nigeria around using the power and authority of the Presidency, the former two-term Governor of Anambra State assured all power brokers and constituencies that were he to be elected president in 2027, he would be willing to do one term in office.

"Clarifying issues around the politics of the much-talked about coalition of opposition forces, Obi denied discussing ‘joint tickets’ matters with anyone, not even with the former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar with whom he had been rumoured to be rooting for a joint presidential ticket..."

SENATOR UMEH, the lying general and a fallen house, by Chuks Iloegbunam

"Chief Victor Umeh, the Senator representing Anambra Central at the National Assembly, has instituted a lodestar that must henceforward be emulated by all legislators from the South East geopolitical zone, whether serving in their states of origin or Abuja. Last week, Senator Umeh called General Yakubu Gowon, Head of State of Nigeria, from August 1966 to July 1975 to order.

"He told Gowon that he owed Ndigbo an unreserved apology, the absence of which is at the root of the nation’s enduring instability..."

2027: WITHOUT REAL-TIME electronic transmission of results, APC wins, by W***y Afugo Eya

"For those conversant with the intrigues in the politics of Nigeria, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has already won the 2027 general elections. Objectively, without a holistic electoral reform which must make it mandatory for Real-Time electronic transmission of results, the next general elections would likely be a walkover for the ruling party irrespective of the much-touted coalition of forces against it.

"The reasons are obvious based on historical precedent. Yes, because elections in Nigeria have often shown that things are not always what they seem. Just like in Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the line –‘Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair’ spoken by the witches signifies a world where appearances are deceptive and moral values are inverted. So, in essence, in our elections, what seems good, is actually bad and what seems bad, is actually good...

ONE DEMOLITION, many backward steps of a civilization, by Felix Oguejiofor Abugu

"I am a victim of such mean, remorseless destruction of a lifetime-savings property in Lagos myself and, therefore, can speak authoritatively about the unspeakable pain that comes with it.

"For those who survive the shock (and many do die from the shock, to be sure, or live in irreversible depression thereafter), the pain may sooner or later go away and life goes on. But the phenomenon of demolitions in Lagos has become such an invidious constant that it has since ceased to be a consequence of illegal land use by individuals or groups; it has, unfortunately, become more like a campaign of witch-hunt and vendetta against a targeted non-indigene group or political opponents, the objective obviously being to inflict maximum psychological and economic pain on, and possibly bankrupt, them.

"I insist that what we are witnessing today under Bola Tinubu - the obdurate lawlessness that characterizes his conduct of public affairs - is devaluing the Yoruba essence. Tinubu's presidency is a total diminution, even a complete reversal, of the nationality's hitherto cherished worldview: the supremacy of justice and fair play, human and property rights, liberal democracy and individual liberties in socio-political engineering..."
