 Njoku or N'joker? BY IZUCHUKWU Adichie The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), like many political parties in Nigeria, has had its share of villains and imposters whose only intent is to cause internal political wrangling. Among these, Edozie Njoku and outcasted Chekwa Okorie stand out as mere political jokers who have somersaulted into politics with many deceits, blackmail of relevant government agencies, and lacking ethical principles. They seem to think they can do anything and get away with it. Listening to the undisputable APGA National Chairman, Barr Sly Ezeokenwa on Arise TV last night, where he presented all the legal facts before the court of public opinion and raised relevant questions for INEC to provide a court order that announced one Edozie N'joker as non-existing party’s national chairman, one may wonder why this proxy N'joker is still walking freely in Nigeria instead of being in prison for deceiving the electoral commission. He should not be walking fr...

 The owners of the sealed properties violated the law, and the claim that the sealing was targeted at the Labour Party and one Edozie Njoku is a fallacy BY IZUCHUKWU Adichie Recently, there was news on some sections of social media regarding the Anambra State Housing Corporation's actions to seal several properties at Udoka Housing Estate in Awka. The sealing of these properties was a result of the illegal conversion of residential buildings into political offices without obtaining the necessary approval. It's important to note that the sealing of these offices is not targeted at any specific group or individuals but is a response to the illegal use of residential buildings for commercial purposes without proper authorization. Under the administration of Soludo, Anambra state has placed a strong emphasis on maintaining law and order. As a result, when property owners disregarded the law, thereby, allowing many residential buildings to be defaced by the constant posting of banne...

 September 28: It Does Not Matter If Any Political Party Refuses To Participate In The Upcoming Local Government Elections By Izuchukwu Adichie It is not surprising to see some anti-progressives in Anambra continue to oppose the state's developmental progress and inclusive governance achieved under the Soludo administration. Their opposition to the upcoming local government elections, which are to be conducted by the Anambra State Independent Electoral Commission (ANSIEC) on September 28, is a clear reflection of their hate for the political advancement in the state. These individuals have in the past taken to the market square with their reckless utterances that only serve their interest, blackmail and campaign of calumny to clamour for the conduct of the local government election. However, it is important to note that ANSIEC has given assurance to Ndi Anambra regarding its readiness to organize local government elections that are both free and fair, which hasn't been conducte...
