Been in the Senate for 20years doesn't matter, what matters is what he has done in those 20years. 2023 should be on people's past achievement and what they'll do in future. I'm from Enugu west and I know what we were before this man came to power. The business of legislation is career, check US for instance, Nancy, Shuck etc have all stayed for more than 30years. Achievement is what we are after. Wallahi if Ekweremadu becomes Governor of my dear state, he's going to perform more than all those that have ruled the state ed together. They all know he's going to perform well that's why they're not talking about his performance but just making funny comments.

Baywood just told him the truth because Nsukka people are going back to the government house again in the name of a candidate from Isi-uzo, so ike should just relax.

The same way they’re people Buhari calls “Sir” is the same OUK will shut up when some people ask him to.

All I’m saying is that it shouldn’t be an issue before the candidacy is given to an Igbo man.

As for the igalas and the co, it’s only when it’s time you guys want to benefit you all will want to align with the treatment Igbo’s are receiving.

Were you guys not the ones that said you’re not Igbo??
GEJ has run unbehalf of you guys so please keep and remain shut

Others should keep shut. No problem.
Igbos gave GEJ Azikiwe as name. GEJ said Igbos are the pillars of his istration. Therefore, Igbos have produced a President and their turn has ed.
Igbos won't become anything until you learn to bow to others.

I keep asking myself what kind of democracy do Nigeria practice when their is no law to make all political parties know that Igbo presidency should be in that seat.. everyone has turned a blind eye as if that isn’t the right thing to do??

With that blind eye and attitude towards them, you think they won’t request for Biafra?

That Sun will surely rise one day


What about Nupe, Idoma, Gwari, Tivi and other ethnic group's presidency ?

I thought they are also shareholders in the country

Azikiwe ruled, then Ikenna. And you now want to produce President? Forgerrit.

Igboland is in shambles, not the entire country. That is why you run out of Igboland to other parts of Nigeria every January.

*THE MICRO-ZONING AGENDA OF NKANU EAST LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN 2023 ENUGU GOVERNORSHIP RACE*

Our attention had been drawn to the different social and mainstream media reports on the misguided activities of a political movement, Nkanu East Consultative Forum, floated and championed by political jobbers, serial governorship contestants, bad losers, selfish individuals and self acclaimed "leaders of thought" from Nkanu East local government area who are on the payroll of Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu, and, presently, consulting some prominent politicians, respected leaders of thougt, traditional rulers, highly respected individuals and major stakeholders within and outside Enugu state, canvassing that the governorship slot for 2023 in Enugu state be ceded to Nkanu East local government. These paid agents and self acclaimed leaders include HRH IGWE ABEL NWOBODO, PROF. BARTH NNAJI, HON. ANAYO EDEH, HON. EJIKE ANI, BARR. GOC AJAH, IGWE EDEANI and their co-travellers.

In view of the distasteful, disgraceful and counter productive activities of these so called leaders, the pertinent questions that need urgent answers from them (the leaders) who are involved in this evil project are:

(1) when, where, and at what time, did leaders of Nkanu East local government area, including traditional rulers, and leaders of thought, met, resolved, appointed and mandated these self-seeking individuals to embark on such devilish, selfish and evil consultation?

(2) what efforts have they made to discourage, disuade and convince the unreliable Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu and his likes, either as individuals, or collectively, not to scuttle and destroy the rotation and zoning arrangement that has been in existence since 1999 till date in Enugu state?

(3) what efforts have they made either individually, or collectively, to reach of the PDP National working committee (NEC) and other prominent PDP stakeholders from other states controlled by PDP and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to the existing zoning arrangement in Enugu state and ensure that it is not undermined or destroyed by overzealous and disgruntled politicians, including their pay master, Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu?

(4) what efforts have they made to and educate leaders in the entire 260 wards in Enugu State to ensure that the zoning arrangement in Enugu state is maintained. There is an Igbo adage that says that you must, first, secure the ground before looking for the MAT with which to lie on that ground.
Prominent sons and daughters of Enugu state should beware of these individuals who are working day and night to undermine the efforts of His Excellency, the Executive governor of Enugu sate, Rt. Hon. Dr. Lawrence Ifeanyichukwu Ugwuanyi, who has vowed to maintain the zoning and rotation formula in Enugu state for unity, justice, equity and fairness.

It is a known fact that, presently, there is an understanding and a pact between Prof. Barth Nnaji and Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu.The agreement is to the effect that Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu will sponsor Prof. Barth Nnaji. and use him to destabilize Enugu East zone, bankroll political infighting, to the advantage of Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu, while senator Ike Ekwerenmadu would concede to Prof Barth Nnaji certain postions, including SSG, commissioners and ministerial slot for Enugu State if PDP wins the 2023 presidential election.

It is a known fact that that some of these opportunistic and self-styled leaders had opportunities at the federal level either as Ministers, Legislators, but failed woefully and never attracted or established any traceable legacy projects in the their communities, Nkanu East, Nkanu West, Enugu East senatorial zone in general.

Muddle-headed Anayo Ede was a three-tenure member of the House of Representatives, shamelessly, he has nothing to show as his achievements in any part of Nkanu East and Nkanu West that he represented for more than ten years. He, presently, lives a beggarly life, collecting money from all manner of politician destabilize Enugu East zone.

The former Minister, Prof. Barth Nnaji, was dismissed and disgraced out of Ministerial office for serious acts of gross misconduct and conflict of interest, capable of sending him to jail, but for the magnanimity of President Jonathan who gave him a soft landing in the option of "resignation".


NEGATIVE LEGACIES OF PROF. BARTH NNAJI
The only traceable legacy of Prof. Barth Nnaji is fighting any sitting Governor of Enugu state since 1999.

(1) He started with Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani in the build up to the 2003 governorship elections. He was one of the major sponsors of the failed impeachment of Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani to ensure that he did not only complete his first tenure by also not even being qualified for a second tenure in 2003. When the plot failed, he quickly ed ANPP where he contested for governorship of the state and woefully lost the primary to Fidel Ayogu.

(2) In 2011, during the buid-up to Sullivan Chime's campaign for a second term, Prof. Barth Nnaji quickly ed those who were opposed to Sullivan Chime's second term despite all the efforts of the then govenor to see to the peaceful resolution of the Umuode and Oruku crisis. A landmark judgment was delivered by Hon. Justice Unuorah of Enugu High court that dealt a big blow to all those opposed to Sullivan Chime including Prof Barth Nnaji.

(3) Oruku community where Prof Barth Nnaji hails from is the most fragmented and insecure community in the history of Enugu state. Hitherto peaceful community lost its peace the moment Prof Barth Nnaji came back with his American education. His education and wealth brought war, civil strife without end, leading to incessant killings, and balkanization of the community into three warring communities. As we write, Barth is bloodbath in the once peaceful Oruku community of Nkanu East Local Government Area of Enugu state.

(4) Prof Barth Nnaji, lgwe Abel Nwobodo and their cohorts are discreetly fighting the governor of Enugu state who is adjudged across the south east as the best performing governor in of peace, security, economic management, prompt payment of salary and a host of other achievements. It is unfortunate that these selfish individuals are working underground to sabotage the good efforts of our governor. Anybody or group that is not with our governor is certainly against us such as the likes of Igwe Abel Nwobodo, Prof. Barth Nnaji, Senator Ike Ekwerenmadu and their corhorts.

IGWE ABEL NWOBODO
What does Igwe Abel Nwobodo really want? His son, Engr Uche Nwobodo, has been serving the State government from his time as as a youth corper, and is currently the elected chairman of Nkanu East local government area in Enugu East senatorial zone. Igwe Abel Nwobodo has been working behind the scene for his son to be the deputy governor to Senator Ike Ekweremadu. It is a known fact that 90 percent of the traditional rulers and major stakeholders in Enugu East senatorial zone, especially leaders of thought in Nkanu East local government area, are totally against these self appointed individuals and their evil project and consultations.

While other traditional rulers are busy distributing Christmas gifts and food items to the needy in their communities, Igwe Abel Nwobodo, unmindful of the fact that as a royal father, he is bound to be politically neutral, is busy traversing every nook and cranny of Nkanu land and Enugu state, deceiving innocent sons and daughters of the state. Let Igwe Abel Nwobodo go to his community, Umuawalagu, and test his popularity by summoning a meeting and see the number of people that will attend. His community has suffered decades of underdevelopment because of his wicked style of leadership. He appointed his direct cousin from the same village as the President General of the community. He also single-handedly appointed all the of Igwe's cabinet. For over 15 years now he and his cousin have refused to conduct town union election. At best, Igwe Abel Nwobodo can be described as King Herod.

Prof. Barth Nnaji is a fraudster. He used his company, Geometric Power Plant, to defraud Diamond Bank by borrowing 17 billion naira from the same bank which loan he could not repay and never repaid. For purposes of record, the company, Geometrics has been sold to core investors as a result of the huge debt hanging on Prof. Barth Nnaji's head. Prof. Barth Nnaji is a complete failure in of istration, management, talk more of being in involved in deciding who manages a state like Enugu state.

Finally, we want to advise all those unpatriotic individuals in Nkanu to retrace their ugly steps, or else, we will be forced to throw more light on their ugly past and present. Because of their incurable selfish interest, they deliberately and completely forgot that Enugu East, Enugu North, Enugu South, Nkanu West, Nkanu East and Isiuzo are all in Enugu East Senatorial zone. Each of these six local government areas, some of which have never produced a governor of Enugu state, are fully represented in our coalition and are ready to line up their best eleven for the 2023 governorship contest. However, we want the best, the most qualified in of governance experience, from any part of Enugu East Senatorial zone to continue with the development agenda and peace initiatives of governor Ugwuanyi. We say, "No to micro-zoning of Enugu state 2023 PDP gubernatorial candidate to a particular local government area for premordial considerations or under any other subterfuge."

Signed: ENUGU EAST ZONE COALITION AGAINST MICRO-ZONNING OF ENUGU 2023 PDP GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE.

What was the basis for Nnamdi Kanu insulting other tribes even when there was no recognisable conflict?

Not only did many appeal to you lot, most of you echoed and championed his sentiments, much to the surprise of others.

Suddenly in 2022, you are asking same set of people you gleefully insulted and in some cases made life unbearable for, to suddenly consider you for the position of president.

Yes, he's going to embazzle too, even the youths that we are clamouring for will do the same. Check out those youths in the state house of assembly, you only find in Nike Lake Resort with university girls. A whole lot of them. Name one sellable youth that can get at least 40percent votecast then I'd also throw in my vote. I'm not singing praises for Ekweremadu but I'm only choosing the better devil. He's far better than any of those people they are presenting to us. He's only crime was being in the Senate for more than two decades. Those other senatorial district that have been changing senator every 4years have they achieved more development than Enugu west? It is common sense. There are a lot of other senators in Nigeria what have they achieved compared to this Ekweremadu people are dragging around? Some served as Senate President go to their senatorial zone then compare them to Enugu west. One good turn deserves another abeg. If una no go vote am, I go vote am for my conscience to be at rest.

oga we need a fresh blood in our politics. look at balewood he singlely constructed dual carriage road leading to his village. same ekweremadu has been fingered as one of the people that misappropriated money meant for Enugu_ onitsha exp. way.
Enugu is deteriorating , water is rocket science. no job for the youth. and you people want a man that has been in government for past 20yrs to cont. what exactly is he bringing new to the state that we have never seen in the past. same people like you are castigating tinubu but will praise ekweremadu for doing same thing tinubu is doing. abeg , all the old cargos should go.

Ekweremadu did a scheme called water for all. Almost every village recieved a solar water pump system. But they did not last because of the type of soil we have in Enugu West. A lot of wealthy people in my village buy water. They call Tanker drivers to supply water during Christmas. Because I come back for Christmas I always send money for those Tankers to fill my mum's tanks. I'm not making this up. Go there and see for yourself. You'll see a compound with more than two duplex still buying water. Even google will enlighten you more on this. We in Enugu West often forgot about the state government because they're of no use. Issue of water is what state government can in and solve but even in Enugu metropolis the water supply system built years back can't even be kept up. Those that want progress know that Ekweremadu is progress. His works speak for him

We need to be realistic here, who is the new blood? Secondly, how can a senator misappropriate money meant for Enugu-Onitsha express way? Does he have a company that got contracted to do the said road? Or is he the minister of works nor the president? I don't understand how it could be possible for him to misappropriate funds meant for federal road that did not even fall in his senatorial zone. this is simply calling a dog a bad name in other to kill him.
