ELECTIONS ARE OVER, JOIN ME TO DO MORE – Gov MBAH BEGS OPPOSITION

The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, has appealed to opposition parties to join his administration’s effort to transform the state.

Governor Mbah said President Bola Tinubu‘s state visit to the state on Saturday to commission some projects was an acknowledgment of his government’s efforts.

Speaking at the commissioning events, Mbah stated that the projects reflected his vision to grow the economy of the state to $30 billion.

Among the projects commissioned were 30 completed Enugu Smart Green Schools out of 260 under construction, 60 equipped Type 2 Primary Healthcare Centres across 260 wards, the Enugu International Conference Centre, a hub for global engagement, 90 newly completed urban roads to ease mobility in our cities, and a state-of-the-art Command and Control Centre with 150 AI-embedded patrol vehicles for enhanced security.

“The President’s acknowledgment of our efforts underscores the essence of our mission. From our investments in education, healthcare, and infrastructure to bolstering security, we are laying a solid foundation for a prosperous Enugu State.

“These projects reflect our vision to grow Enugu’s economy from $4.4 billion to $30 billion within the next eight years. It is a responsibility we owe to our dear people of Enugu State.

“Security is key to this vision. Our AI-driven surveillance network and the Distress Response Squad have redefined safety across the state. This initiative guarantees peace of mind, ensuring our streets and neighbourhoods remain safe for residents and investors alike,” he said.

The Governor of Enugu State, Peter Mbah, assured residents of the state of his commitment to providing good governance.

“I want to assure my dear Ndi Enugu that this is just the beginning. As a government, we shall continue to build the Enugu of our dreams, a hub of opportunity, service delivery, and economic excellence.

“I wholeheartedly echo the President’s call that the elections are behind us and now is the time to unite and drive our nation forward. Regardless of political affiliations, we can build an Enugu State as well as a Nigeria that serves and uplifts everyone,” Mbah added.

    MOST HERBALISTS’ SHRINES IN ANAMBRA, DEN OF KIDNAPPERS – RESIDENTS TO SOLUDO As security operatives rescue abducted victims in native doctor’s house, as security challenges continue to unsettle Anambra State, residents of the state have told Governor Chukwuma Soludo on how some notorious kidnappers disguise themselves as herbalists in order to evade arrest.They asked the governor to come up with stiff regulations for those practicing native medicine, arguing that most shrines and houses built by herbalists are used as den for kidnappers.Insecurity has escalated in Anambra State with many people being abducted while others were assassinated by unknown gunmen.Stakeholders have expressed concerns over the development, calling for urgent measures to address the menace.The Spiritual Director of the Holy Ghost Adoration Ministry, Uke in Idemili North Local Government Area of the state, Rev. Fr. Emmanuel Obimma, expressed his disappointment and frustration with the state government’s handling of the security situation.Obimma in his New Year message regretted the failed attempt by Anambra State securities to prevent the kidnapping of his fellow priest, Fr. Nonso that returned from abroad.The cleric further criticized the government’s seeming inability to tackle the rising insecurity in the state, even as he called on prominent Anambra indigenes like, Authur Eze, Obi Jackson, Obi Cubana, Val Ozoigbo, Sen. Victor Umeh, Ada Umeoji, and Flavour, to take responsibility and work together to address the security challenges currently eating up the state.While noting that building roads is not enough, Obimma urged Governor Soludo to utilise the security vote to provide adequate security for the people of Anambra State.He warned that the government’s inaction on the security situation would have dire consequences and enjoined Anambra people to rise up and demand better from their leaders.Meanwhile, a local security outfit, Oraifite Joint Security Group, has uncovered a make-shift apartment of a herbalist inside a bush in Oraifite community where victims of kidnapping are kept until their family members pay ransom.The leader of the security group identified the herbalist as Muo Chukwuma Ndubuisi who is popularly known as Mmuo.The chief security officer of the community disclosed that two persons were discovered in the apartment who claimed to have been abducted by some men working for Mmuo.One of the victims, who identified himself as Gerald Ibe, explained how the kidnappers stormed his house after returning from the farm and took him away.Ibe, who was tied and blindfolded, said, “They (kidnappers) came to my house at night after returning from my farm and blindfolded me.They took me away to an unknown place. They took me on a motorcycle and later dropped me here (at the herbalist’s house). They asked me to call my family members to bring the sum of N100 million for them before they can release me.”The CSO said that the herbalist fled immediately after his men invaded his apartment.He said, “The home of a Dibia (herbalist) in Oraifite, Anambra State was busted by our local vigilante, leading to the rescue of a captive who was abducted from Ihiala. The family of the captive were being asked to pay N100 million, until the fateful day. We also saw another man there who also claimed to have been lured to the house by the herbalist. Mmuo, as the Dibia was identified, has since been on the run with his gang.”However, some residents asked Governor Soludo to rein in those parading themselves as native doctors, especially those who have their shrines and houses inside the bush and interior communities.For Ben Ideh, a resident of Oraifite community, “What our governor and other heads of security should know is that this kidnapping business is everywhere and some, in order to play safe, have suddenly turned to herbalists and relocated to bushes where they construct apartments and shrines.“Most of them are kingpins…
