According to her, "I am supporting Amb. Mgbechi Emmanuel Igwebuike not just because he is my brother, but because I have learned from him that it is always good to do good, even when some people repay kindness with ingratitude."

Hon. Udemezue Bernard Isienyi’s Alleged Dual Registration in APGA and NDC Sparks Controversy

Reports reaching Excel Media News indicate that the member representing Ayamelum State Constituency, Hon. Udemezue Bernard Isienyi, has allegedly been uncovered for maintaining dual political party membership registration with both the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and the National Democratic Coalition (NDC) simultaneously.

Sources familiar with the development described the alleged action as a direct violation of the APGA Constitution, particularly provisions guiding genuine party membership and loyalty. Political observers also argue that the development may raise concerns under relevant sections of the Electoral Act 2026 as amended.

According to information available to our correspondent, Hon. Isienyi allegedly registered in both political parties using the same personal details, including his National Identification Number (NIN), which is a compulsory requirement in party registration processes. Insiders claimed the move was allegedly calculated to preserve alternative political options ahead of future elections.

The revelation has reportedly triggered reactions among party stakeholders within Ayamelum and beyond, with many questioning the sincerity and commitment of the lawmaker to APGA, a party he recently aligned himself with publicly.

Further reports alleged that moves are already being made behind the scenes to contain the growing controversy and prevent possible political consequences arising from the alleged dual registration.

Political analysts say the incident further exposes the level of desperation currently dominating the political space, warning that political actors must uphold integrity, transparency, and party discipline if democracy is to be strengthened.

As of the time of filing this report, Hon. Udemezue Bernard Isienyi had not officially responded to the allegations.

Who Becomes APGA Flag Bearer for Ayamelum HOA Is Strictly a Party Affair, Not for Ndi Ichie Aturia - Emma Mgbechi Tells Isienyi

~Excel Media News

The APGA Mayoral Flag Bearer for Ayamelum Local Government Council, Mgbechi Emmanuel Igwebuike (Evang), has firmly stated that the emergence of the party’s flag bearer for the House of Assembly (HOA) in Ayamelum remains strictly an internal party matter, not one to be influenced by external groups such as Ndi Ichie Aturia.

In a statement made available to Excel Media News, Mgbechi cautioned Hon. Bernard Udemezue Isienyi, the current member representing Ayamelum Constituency in the Anambra State House of Assembly, over what he described as undue interference and rising tension within the party.

According to Mgbechi, Hon. Isienyi’s recent defection to APGA appears driven by a desperate bid to secure a second term in office. He emphasized that only duly registered party members have the authority to determine the party’s flag bearer through the scheduled primaries on May 23, 2026, as approved by the party leadership.

He further explained that, in line with the zoning arrangement in Ayamelum, the House of Assembly seat has been zoned to Ayamelum Central (Omor wards), with a further micro-zoning to Omor Ward 3. He noted that APGA Omor Ward has been encouraged to present a consensus candidate to the people of Ayamelum where possible. However, in the absence of consensus, all interested aspirants are expected to obtain their expression of interest forms and participate in a free and fair primary election.

Mgbechi expressed concern that instead of following due process, Hon. Isienyi has resorted to attacking party leaders and spreading allegations that a candidate has already been imposed. He described this as misleading and harmful to party unity.

More troubling, Mgbechi alleged that Hon. Isienyi has taken internal party matters to the village square, reportedly mobilizing some members of Ndi Ichie Aturia to intimidate other aspirants by visiting their homes and pressuring them to withdraw from the race.

He warned that such actions, if sustained, could attract disciplinary measures, including possible disqualification, stressing that APGA as a party does not tolerate arrogance, intimidation, or actions capable of undermining its democratic processes.

Mgbechi concluded by urging all aspirants and stakeholders to uphold party discipline, respect due process, and allow internal mechanisms to determine the party’s candidate in a peaceful and transparent manner.

THE REJECTION ISIENYI IS FACING IN AYAMELUM POLITICAL SPACE APPEARS TO BE LARGELY SELF-INFLICTED. Resorting to calling Barr. Emmanuel Chinedu Obodoeze a stooge and inciting communities in Ayamelum against one another does not seem to be a constructive approach toward gaining acceptance.

The statements and narratives reportedly being circulated by Isienyi to discredit Hon. Barr. Emmanuel Chinedu Obodoeze, an aspirant for the APGA ticket ahead of the House of Assembly election scheduled for February 2027, appear, in our respectful view, to be misleading and unnecessary.

Barr. Emmanuel Chinedu Obodoeze has consistently demonstrated independence, courage, and respect for due process and he is widely regarded as someone who understands his rights and the proper channels for seeking redress, justice and equity. This was evident even during his university days.

In his final year in 2006 at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University (COOU), it is understood that a dispute arose concerning the grading of one of his courses. Rather than resort to confrontation, he pursued redress through the appropriate institutional channels by formally requesting a remark. His answer script was reportedly underwent multiple reviews, after which a revised score was awarded to him. This example illustrates a preference for lawful and structured resolution of disputes.
Such conduct reflects a disposition toward due process and respect for constituted authority. In our opinion, this is inconsistent with the characterization of him as a stooge.

Barr. Emmanuel Chinedu Obodoeze was called to the Bar in 2008 and subsequently established his law firm in 2013. Over the years, he has built a professional and personal life that many consider stable and independent.
We respectfully submit that aspirants should focus on presenting their credentials, achievements, and vision rather than engaging in personal attacks. The position of a House of Assembly member for Ayamelum Constituency is not vested in any individual but is subject to the democratic choice of the people.

Hon. Bernard Udemezue (Isienyi), like other aspirants including Barr. Emmanuel Chinedu Obodoeze, is entitled to seek nomination. However, his re-election prospects will reasonably depend on his record in office and the assessment of the electorate, rather than on narratives or allegations directed at other aspirants.

Every eligible voter in Ayamelum Constituency retains the constitutional right to support any aspirant of their choice. The support presently enjoyed by Barr. Emmanuel Chinedu Obodoeze among certain stakeholders appears to be based on their confidence in his perceived capacity to deliver effective representation.

We urge members of the public to treat with caution any unverified claims suggesting that Barr. Obodoeze is acting on behalf of undisclosed sponsors. Available information indicates that he is contesting based on his own merit, qualifications, and political ambition.

It is also on record that Barr. E. C. Obodoeze has been a member of APGA since 2010 and has participated in party activities over the years. His aspiration, as publicly stated, is to provide what he considers effective and quality representation for Ayamelum Constituency.

Barr. Obodoeze has continued to consult widely and seek support from constituents, acknowledging that electoral success ultimately depends on the will of the people.
We reiterate that political engagement should be conducted with civility, respect, and adherence to truth. The electorate is encouraged to make informed decisions based on verifiable information and the track records of all aspirants.

Signed
concerned individuals from Omor and Ayamelum.

Two Terms Not Automatic When Character Is Questionable - Group Tells Isienyi

~Excel Media News

A concerned stakeholders’ group in Ayamelum has stated that securing a second term in office is not a guaranteed right, especially when questions surrounding character and performance remain unresolved.

The group made this assertion while addressing the recent political moves of the member representing Ayamelum State Constituency, Hon. Bernard Udemezue, popularly known as Isienyi. According to them, political ambition must be matched with integrity, humility, and proven service to the people.

They emphasized that merely joining the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) does not automatically absolve any aspirant of past shortcomings or confer acceptance among party faithful and constituents.

“Two terms is not compulsory when character is questionable. Hon. Isienyi should first go and learn good character. Joining APGA will not save you,” the group stated.

The stakeholders further urged political actors in Ayamelum to prioritize accountability, unity, and respect for party structures, noting that the electorate is now more conscious and determined to support only credible leaders.

They concluded by reaffirming their commitment to ensuring that only candidates with sound character and genuine interest in the development of Ayamelum emerge in future elections.

APGA Stakeholders in Ayamelum Reject Self Imposition, Emphasize Party Integrity

~Excel Media News

Emerging sentiments from across the four corners of Ayamelum Local Government Area clearly indicate a unified stance among APGA stakeholders: the party must remain guided by integrity, credibility, and the collective will of its members.

Discussions within party circles reveal a strong affirmation that perceived threats or pressure tactics will not be mistaken for genuine acceptance. Rather, party faithful insist that APGA, known for its reputation and structured internal processes, cannot afford to make decisions that could weaken its standing or create openings for opposition parties to gain ground.

Concerns have also been raised regarding the suitability of certain aspirants, with many stakeholders cautioning against actions and utterances that undermine both personal credibility and the values the party represents. Respect for shared beliefs, community values, and party principles remains central to APGA’s identity.

As the political landscape continues to evolve, party members across Ayamelum maintain that only candidates who embody discipline, respect, and commitment to the collective interest should be entrusted with the party’s flag. For them, protecting APGA’s reputation is not just a priority - it is a responsibility.
