CONSTITUENTS MOVE TO RECALL HOUSE OF REPS MEMBER, UGOCHINYERE, LAUD GOV UZODINMA

Community and political stakeholders of Ideato Federal Constituency in Imo State, have express dissatisfaction with the incumbent member representing the constituency in the National Assembly, Hon. Ugochinyere Micheal Ikeagwonu.

They accused the lawmaker of being indifferent to the constituency’s plight, choosing instead, to focus on personal political interests and unwarranted attacks on the the state governor, Hope Uzodinma

During a reception organized by the people to appreciate the governor’s intervention in addressing a severe erosion menace that threatened to disconnect the federal constituency from the rest of the state, a motion was moved for the recall of Hon. Ikeagwonu.

Hon. Okechukwu Udenze, the representative for Ideato North in the Imo State House of Assembly, moved the motion for the recall of the federal legislator, which received overwhelming support from the people and political leaders in attendance.

The constituency and its leaders lauded Governor Uzodinma for his swift action in awarding the project for the control of the erosion to Craneburg, a renowned construction company, and ensuring that work commenced without delay.

They noted that despite the constituency having previously produced a governor, a senator, and numerous federal lawmakers, it was under Uzodinma’s administration that a meaningful intervention was made to address the long-standing erosion crisis.

The Ideato South Council of Traditional Rulers, led by their chairman, Eze Ewuzie, received the governor and expressed gratitude on behalf of the people.

In their speeches, stakeholders emphasized the governor’s selflessness and commitment to the welfare of the people, pointing out that he has no political agenda since he is not running for any office at present.

The move, they said, demonstrated Uzodinma’s dedication to good governance and fair leadership, untainted by political motives.

Among the dignitaries present at the event were Hon. Ijeoma Arodiogbu, the Southeast chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC); Hon Ikechukwu Umeh, Imo APC Organizing Secretary, Hon. Nkechi Ugwu, the Commissioner for Women Affairs; the executive chairmen of Ideato North and South, Hon. Chinonso Okparaeke and Hon. Okechukwu Okwara; as well as vice chairmen and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) chairmen of Ideato North and South.

The ceremony concluded with a call for greater unity among the people of Ideato Federal Constituency as they work together to ensure the continued progress and development of the area, with leaders urging all to remain committed to the task of rebuilding and advancing the constituency.

    TRAVELLERS HAIL PETER OBI, CALL HIM “OUR PRESIDENT” AS HE CLEARS TRAFFIC IN KOGI According to an eyewitness, there had been a road block caused by angry trailer drivers and this caused traffic that extended severai miles.

    DAMAGUM MAY STEP DOWN NEXT WEEK

    DAMAGUM MAY STEP DOWN NEXT WEEK Indications emerged Tuesday that Ambassador Umar Damagum, the acting National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been offered an opportunity to step down from his position next week.Daily Trust gathered that the decision was reached by the party’s governors yesterday in Akure, Ondo State.Sources privy to the details of the meeting and a virtual gathering held earlier on Monday, stated that the governors were rattled by the factionalisation of the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) and resolved to unite for preservation of the party.At yesterday’s meeting, convened before the official flag-off of the PDP governorship campaign rally in Ondo State, it was gathered that the governors agreed to allow Damagum to retain his position as acting national chairman until the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting scheduled for October 24.It was gathered that Damagum and Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, the PDP Deputy National Chairman (South) were present at the meeting. Also present were the Chairman of the PDP Governors’ Forum and Governor of Bauchi State, Bala Mohammed, along with governors Seyi Makinde (Oyo) and Ademola Adeleke (Osun), among other party chieftains.Yesterday’s meeting was a continuation of the PDP Governors’ Forum’s virtual meeting which took place on Monday. During the meeting of Monday, Governor Adeleke reportedly expressed disappointment over how the crisis had led to the factionalisation of the NWC, expressing fears that it could negatively impact his bid for a second term in 2026, being the first among the party’s first-term governors to be up for a re-election.Adeleke reportedly challenged Governor Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau State for not supporting the North-Central’s bid to retain the chairmanship, despite being from the zone and also a first-term governor.Mutfwang reportedly replied that based on recent developments, he was now in favour of a chairman emerging from the North-Central, following the party’s constitution to resolve the impasse.Mutfwang, alongside governors Makinde, Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), and Agbu Kefas (Taraba), is believed to have initially opposed Damagum’s removal. This quartet is thought to be allied with the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, whom Damagum has allegedly been supporting.However, it was gathered that Makinde, believed to be the leader of the quartet, proposed at the virtual meeting of Monday that even if Damagum were to leave, he should be given a soft landing. Consequently, the meeting was postponed to yesterday to include Damagum.It was further gathered that at yesterday’s meeting, the governors agreed that while Damagum continues as acting chairman for the next few days, NEC meeting would be used to ratify the North-Central’s nomination for the position. The NEC meeting will also discuss potential dates for a national convention.Additionally, the meeting resolved to impress on members to withdraw all pending court cases related to the party’s national leadership crisis.It would be recalled that a Federal High Court in Abuja last Friday ordered the party’s NEC and Board of Trustees (BoT) to refrain from removing Damagum as the party’s acting national chair.Justice Peter Lifu issued the ruling hours after a faction of the NWC led by Ahmed Yayari Mohammed announced Damagum’s suspension, ordering that no other person should be recognised as the PDP acting national chair until the party’s convention scheduled for December 2025.Meanwhile, in a communiqué issued by the PDP Governors’ Forum at the end of their virtual meeting on Monday, and subsequently along with the NWC members yesterday, the governors resolved that “the NWC should revert to the status quo and remain united in the interest of the party and the nation.”Based on their decision, along with consultations with the BoT, the NWC and other party organs, they also resolved that “all suspensions issued on officials across the party within the NWC have been lifted forthwith.”Recall that the Damagum-led…
